BENEATH THE MASSACRE posts in-studio video, offers album update

Montreal's BENEATH THE MASSACRE has posted the first in a series of
in-studio videos featuring footage from Northern Studio in Quebec while the
band was tracking material for its forthcoming album, 'Dystopia,' which is
scheduled for an October release through Prosthetic Records. The clip can be
seen here http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=9034209 and http://youtube.com/watch?v=ANNFAbeICtQ , and more clips should be expected shortly. Recorded again with Yannick St-Amand (Despised Icon, Ion Dissonance, Neuraxis) and featuring artwork from Felix Rancourt, which can be seen in the video, 'Dystopia' is the follow-up to 2007's 'Mechanics of Dysfunction,' the band's Prosthetic debut after first releasing an EP with Galy Records.


"We're all stoked for the new album," frontman Elliot Desgagnes says. "The
songs are by far the weirdest, most intense songs we have ever written. It's
great to finally listen to all the crazy ideas we had.... After six weeks of
intense tracking, we're also relieved that's it's all done. The writing
process was hard and exhausting since we wrote most of it on the road, but
we can now say that it worth it and we cannot wait to release the album and
play the new songs on our upcoming tour.  We're also stoked to get back to
touring the US more frequently starting this September with Necrophagist."



BENEATH THE MASSACRE recently completed a string of dates dubbed the
Montreal Assault Tour alongside Despised Icon, Ion Dissonance, and The
Plasmarifle and is now gearing up for a high-profile slot on the Canadian
run of the Summer Slaughter Tour, also featuring Necrophagist, Dying Fetus,
Into Eternity, new labelmates Neuraxis, Whitechapel, and Veil of Maya. Upon
completion in late August, BENEATH THE MASSACRE will continue on with
Nechrophagist for a tour on American soil, details on that will be available
shortly.
