Canadian Tech-Death Metallers BENEATH THE MASSACRE have confirmed their first appearances in the United States later this spring alongside ARSIS and ION DISSONANCE. The upcoming jaunt also includes an appearance at the second annual California Metalfest with labelmates LIGHT THIS CITY and THE FUNERAL PYRE.
The band will be releasing their new effort "Mechanics of Dysfunction" tomorrow February 20th through PROSTHETIC RECORDS. All ten tracks were recorded and produced by Yannick St-Ammand (DESPISED ICON, NEURAXIS), mixed by Pierre Rémillard (CRYPTOPSY, KRISIUN) and mastered by Alan Douches (DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, SHADOWS FALL) and is the band's first new offering since the well-received five track debut EP, "Evidence of Inequity" released in 2005.
