4.0 out of 5 stars The epitome of the word "Old School"..., April 28, 2001

This review is from: From Beyond (Audio CD)

"From Beyond" is the very definition of Old School Death Metal, and as such, it it virtually the benchmark against which all other "Old School" releases should be judged... Kam Lee's voice is still unmatched as far as depth goes... This is the remastered edition with the "Inhuman Condition" EP included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Death Metal the way it should be!!, January 13, 2005

This review is from: From Beyond (Audio CD)

Anything but 'generic' (Formed by Ex members of Death) Massacre pioneered the very sound of death metal to new levels unlike the earlier thrashy death metal sound (i.e. early Morbid Angel). From Beyond was both cornerstone and turning point and is responsible for the death metal sound of today. From the opening track there's a torrent of death metal ahead of it's time and that still sounds a valiant as ever today.
As well as Kam Lee's phenomenal vocals there's Rick Rozz's guitar wizardry with wild solo's unlike I've ever heard before and Terry Butler and Bill Andrews supply a BRUTAL Bass & Drum rumble to power this monster of an album along.

As already mentioned this edition comes with 1992's `Inhuman Condition' EP as a bonus, this bulks up the relatively short (as always with death metal) From Beyond album. This contains a cover of Venom's `Warhead' with Cronos doing vocals and Kam doing background growls, it's a good twisted track. Provoked Accursor is a definite highlight on this EP. The cover is also a different colour from the original for some reason.

Their second album `Promise' released in 1996 had a slightly different (more metal) approach but was still a good but under-rated album. There's allot of anger I this album and I find it really comes into its own if you've suffered infidelity from the opposite sex.

Massacre's albums are highly recommended!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic death!, January 24, 2003

By 

MtlGod (Boynton Beach, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From Beyond (Audio CD)

Great old-school style death metal with catchy riffs and harsh vocals. The style occasionally reminds me Celitc Frost's earlier material. Sure, there are more extreme death and grind bands these days, but not many write songs as memorable as the ones found on this little gem. When you need a break from all of the overly technical stuff, throw in this disc for some death metal that delivers the stuff that made the old-school great!
