BENEATH THE MASSACRE debuts new music online


Beneath The Massacre Montreal death metal quartet BENEATH THE MASSACRE has posted a new track, "Our Common Grave," from the band's forthcoming record, 'Dystopia,' online here (http://www.myspace.com/btm). "After months of hard work in the studio, we finally have the master version of our new album entitled 'Dystopia,'" frontman Elliot Desgagnιs. "We are all very stoked by the new album as we feel that this is the best release we've ever done and we're impatient to share our songs with our fans. You can now pre-order Dystopia from Prosthetic Records (http://www.prostheticrecords.com/BTMsplash.html)."

The band is already hard at work on the road supporting the impending release of 'Dystopia.' "We're now ready to hit back the road starting with Canadian Summer Slaughter," Desgagnιs continues. "We'll then be on tour in the US with Necrophagist and back again in the US with Suicide Silence and Dillinger Escape Plan and we cannot wait to both play the new songs live and come back to the United States after a long time staying in Canada."

The band has also been posting video blogs from the recording process, which are online here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tToXYCeGsk). Recorded again with St-Amand (Despised Icon, Ion Dissonance, Neuraxis) and featuring artwork from Felix Rancourt, 'Dystopia' will see an Oct. 28 release through Prosthetic Records. 'Dystopia' is the follow-up to 2007's 'Mechanics of Dysfunction,' the band's Prosthetic debut, which saw BENEATH THE MASSACRE hit the road with the likes of Necrophagist, Through The Eyes of the Dead, Ion Dissonance, 2007's inaugural Summer Slaughter tour and last year's Radio Rebellion Tour alongside Behemoth, Job For A Cowboy, and Gojira, among others.
