Official press release:
Agonia Records is proud to announce the remastered reissue of the classic demo compilation Tyrants of Death by the legendary Florida death metal band Massacre. The materials is set for release on September 25th in various collector’s editions and in digital format featuring revamped artwork, available below.
Combining the raw aggression and sinister atmosphere that have defined Massacre for decades, Tyrants of Death remains a mandatory listen for fans of classic American death metal. Kam Lee (long-running Massacre vocalist & forefather of growling) comments:
“I feel that by embracing the past, we can unlock the full potential of the future. These early demos serve as a testament to the band’s innovative spirit. They play a significant role in shaping the distinctive sound and style that would go on to define death metal, as well as Massacre‘s blueprint. They’re essential & they’re part of what I think is history. To me, to share these with a new generation of fans, allowing them to tap into the raw energy and passion that fueled the genre’s inception through meticulously remastered versions, is what this re-release is all about.”
Agonia Records says:
“Whether you’re completing your collection or discovering the album for the first time, this reissue is aimed to deliver the definitive physical experience, including limited vinyl variants.”
The reissue has been remastered at Satanic Audio in Poland in 2026. The studio is known for its work with Behemoth, Azarath and Pestilence, to name a few.
