Interview by Tarja Virmakari (proofread by Ali Blackdiamond)

Florida based legendary death metallers MASSACRE have made a crushing come-back to the metal scene with their new album “Back From Beyond” (out on March 24 via Century Media), returning to their roots of the early 90’s trademark sound, old school at its purest form and stronger than ever. Long in the past are the times of several line up changes, disagreements and reunions, today MASSACRE is literally Back From Beyond, ready to take care of unfinished business from 23 years ago.

Only a couple of days ago Tarja Virmakari had a long interesting chat with MASSACRE guitarist Rick Rozz. He spoke at length about “Back From Beyond”, also revealing many interesting details about the band’s past and latest decision to get back together in 2011, and their immediate record deal with Century Media. Rick discussed the many positive coincidences along the way, which lead MASSACRE to where they are today, ready to kick off to tours with Back From Beyond, while already preparing material for the next album. If you want to know more about this, and other pulsating details which Rick told Tarja, or if you want to know what he would do IF the music wasn’t part of his life, you need to join the conversation below.
