about

MASSACRE's TRIBUTE to the EVIL DEAD films and a tribute to NECROPHAGIA!

Killjoy LIVES! Long live Killjoy!

We in MASSACRE have always considered NECROPHAGIA one of the founding fathers of the death metal genre, and one of the first metal bands to actually directly base lyrics off classic 80's horror films. Killjoy himself being a pioneering death metal/black metal vocalist with some of the sickest screams to pierce the ears of any listener.
Lyrics to this song are directly inspired by the film EVIL DEAD and we thought it only fitting that we cover this classic track that originally appeared on the 1987 debut release SEASON OF THE DEAD.
We honor the origins of O.S.D.M. by doing our MASSACRE-rized version of this track as well as honor the memory of our friend Killjoy and the cult band NECROPHAGIA.

With a special appearance on lead guitar by non-other than guitarist Undead Torment (formerly of NECROPHAGIA and DIABOLOS fame)

So come now and "JOIN US" in honoring our fallen brother, gone now from this mortal coil but never forgotten, passed into oblivion forever to rest in ancient slumber.

lyrics

Join us! Join us! Join us! JOIN US!

Many centuries have come to pass
time creeps ever so slowly
winds of past reflections of the future
eternal rest no more

Five closed minds
provoking a force
Necronomicon, book bound in flesh
source of all that is evil

*Solo by: UNDEAD TORMENT ex-Necrophagia /Diabolos

Ancient slumber, now disturbed
a welcomed rude awakening
we come forth upon your summoning
entering your body
to control and possess
our lost souls now live as one
until we have you all

Waiting eagerly
we have anticipated this eve
to fulfill our wrath
one vacant soul still left
to JOIN US (Join Us!)
he shall fall like all the others before him...

KILLJOY LIVES!
