Massacre ( English : "Massaker") is one of the first death metal bands.
history
The band was founded in Florida in 1984 after a falling out between Chuck Schuldiner , Kam Lee and Rick Rozz in the band Mantas (later Death ) . In 1987, Schuldiner brought Rick Rozz back into the band. He brought his bandmates, drummer Bill Andrews and bassist Terry Butler to Death , who already had a record deal and a released album, Scream Bloody Gore .

However, he was able to put together a new line-up and after the release of three demos , which were well received in the tape trading scene, he received a contract with the British record label Earache Records with “Massacre” . There the debut album From Beyond was released , which is considered a classic of early death metal today.
