Not to be confused with Massacre.
The band started as a power/heavy/speed metal band playing cover songs until Kam Lee and Allen West joined, upon which, they converted their style to death metal. Kam Lee is considered an influential innovator in extreme vocals: many credit him as inventing the characteristic "death growl" (which is first heard on Massacre's 1986' "Aggressive Tyrant" demo).
