2021 marks a monumental year for death metal with the long-awaited return of influential Floridian juggernauts, MASSACRE! On October 22nd, the band unleashed their highly anticipated album, “Resurgence,” with Nuclear Blast. Their 4th album, in a career spanning nearly 4 decades, is classic, unadulterated death metal in its purest form.
In conjunction with the record release the band has unveiled what is likely one of the most horrifying and appalling music videos ever made for their latest single “Return of the Corpse Grinder.” Watch the repugnant uncensored video below from Vimeo (banned from YouTube), or the censored version right below for those with weak stomachs! *TRIGGER WARNING: Brutal violation of corpse and necrophilia of charred human remains*
Commenting on the release of “Resurgence” and gruesome new single “Return of the Corpse Grinder,” vocalist Kam Lee states:
“Well for starters… we made a video for ‘RETURN OF THE CORPSE GRINDER… but it is so disgusting and foul it may be BANNED! How f**king awesome is that?!! Total Jorg Buttgereit (NEKROMANTIK films) worship! Disgusting necrophilia and Ed Gein worship – the ONLY way to do the song justice. Anything less would have been a disservice and just wimpy!! But it’s most likely too extreme for most viewers… I feel so accomplished!!
I hope fans do get to check it out… it’s a total complete tribute to the Nekromantik films and to Ed Gein being the influence to the original songs lyrics to begin with. And the songs music is just a perfect continuation in style and form – it really brings the Corpse Grinder saga full circle. Coming out of the gate with ‘RESURGENCE’ and being told that video we did for the 2nd part to the Corpse Grinder may be too extreme to air is f**king brilliant!!
I am proud of the work we did on the album, the songs and material really are the essence of O.S.D.M. style and sound, and I feel this was the best team I could gather together to make this album what it is! I realize lightening couldn’t strike twice… “From Beyond” was lightening in a bottle… and it’s not going to be beat, but I did my best to bring the proper team together to make a follow up – 30 years late – that is and proves to be the proper and correct continuation of the band MASSACRE the way it was always meant to be!”

MASSACRE rose from the swamps of Southern Florida in the early 80’s during a heatwave of groundbreaking death metal that produced some of the genre’s most revered forefathers, DEATH, OBITUARY and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy was founded with a string of classic demos, “Aggressive Tyrant” (1986), “Chamber of Ages” (1986) and “The Second Coming” (1990), before unleashing their critically praised classic debut album “From Beyond” (1991). Now decades later, the band makes their long-awaited return, invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception.
