MASSACRE · From Beyond | BLACK LP

Black vinyl. Full dynamic range remaster.

Background information about 'From Beyond'

Massacre's "From Beyond" stands as one of the most devastating yet overlooked gems in the death metal canon. Originally recorded in the late 80s but shelved for decades this album captures the raw, unfiltered brutality that made Florida's death metal scene legendary. The band, featuring members who would later join Death and Obituary, delivers nine tracks of pure sonic annihilation that bridges the gap between thrash's aggression and death metal's emerging darkness. From the opening assault of "Dawn Of Eternity" to the crushing finale of "Corpse Grinder" every moment showcases the primal fury that defined early extreme metal.

The production perfectly captures that raw, organic sound that modern bands spend fortunes trying to recreate. Chuck Schuldiner's involvement in the songwriting process is evident throughout, with complex yet accessible arrangements that never sacrifice brutality for technicality. Tracks like "Biohazard" and the title track "From Beyond" demonstrate the band's ability to craft memorable hooks within a framework of absolute chaos. This full dynamic range remaster finally gives these songs the sonic treatment they deserve, allowing every crushing riff and thunderous drum hit to breathe while maintaining the album's essential rawness.

For fans of: Death, Obituary, Possessed, Autopsy and early Sepultura
