Death Metal the way it should be!!.......2005-01-13

Anything but 'generic' (Formed by Ex members of Death) Massacre pioneered the very sound of death metal to new levels unlike the earlier thrashy death metal sound (i.e. early Morbid Angel). From Beyond was both cornerstone and turning point and is responsible for the death metal sound of today. From the opening track there's a torrent of death metal ahead of it's time and that still sounds a valiant as ever today.
As well as Kam Lee's phenomenal vocals there's Rick Rozz's guitar wizardry with wild solo's unlike I've ever heard before and Terry Butler and Bill Andrews supply a BRUTAL Bass & Drum rumble to power this monster of an album along.

As already mentioned this edition comes with 1992's `Inhuman Condition' EP as a bonus, this bulks up the relatively short (as always with death metal) From Beyond album. This contains a cover of Venom's `Warhead' with Cronos doing vocals and Kam doing background growls, it's a good twisted track. Provoked Accursor is a definite highlight on this EP. The cover is also a different colour from the original for some reason.

Their second album `Promise' released in 1996 had a slightly different (more metal) approach but was still a good but under-rated album. There's allot of anger I this album and I find it really comes into its own if you've suffered infidelity from the opposite sex.

Massacre's albums are highly recommended!!!!

most songs are generic death metal.......2004-02-13

Most of this is generic and dull. But one track (which by the way doesn't sound very 'Death Metal') is awesome - Defeat Remains. It has a very "pantera-ish" riff that sounds like the riff from pantera's 'Domination'. Also, the main riff sounds kind of prong-like. It is a very good tune, and unlike anything else Massacre has penned. Maybe they should have gone in that direction.

Classic Death Metal Release.......2003-07-01

This was the best death metal album of 1991 in my opinion. While Death's "Human" received more positive press, Massacre's "From Beyond" was far and beyond a better release. Terry Butler (bass) and Bill Andrews (drums) helped reform Massacre after leaving Death in 1990. Ironically, former Death members Rick Rozz (guitars) and Kam Lee (vocals) also were in Massacre. All eight songs are solid and the group seemed to work well together immediately. A 5 star death metal release.

Classic death!.......2003-01-24

Great old-school style death metal with catchy riffs and harsh vocals. The style occasionally reminds me Celitc Frost's earlier material. Sure, there are more extreme death and grind bands these days, but not many write songs as memorable as the ones found on this little gem. When you need a break from all of the overly technical stuff, throw in this disc for some death metal that delivers the stuff that made the old-school great!

The epitome of the word "Old School"..........2001-04-28

"From Beyond" is the very definition of Old School Death Metal, and as such, it it virtually the benchmark against which all other "Old School" releases should be judged... Kam Leeýs voice is still unmatched as far as depth goes... This is the remastered edition with the "Inhuman Condition" EP included.
