Butler previously said about the album: “MASSACRE is very excited and proud of our new album, ‘Back From Beyond’.

“We’ve worked hard over the past few months and we believe that the old-school and new-school fans will be pleased.

Ed Webb and Mikey Mazzanetto are great additions to the band and did an amazing job on the album.

“This is Florida death metal at its best!

“We plan on making 2014 a busy year!!!”

MASSACRE released a seven-inch single, “Condemned To The Shadows”, on July 30, 2012. The single, which is available as a regular black-wax version, a transparent wax limited edition and a yellow-wax limited edition, contains two brand new songs — “Succumb To Rapture” and “Back From Beyond” — that were recorded in February 2012 at CGM Studios in Altamonte Springs, Florida with Tim Vazquez at the helm.
