MASACRE (COL) "REQVIEM" (1991)" AT THE ROCK MUSEUM IN MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA

Translation of the sign to English:
Osmose Productions (France).

Three essential songs: Funeral Procession, Brutal Massacres, and Wave of Violence.

A sound that translates the pain and the smell of blood, the fear of a violent night, and the cries of people fleeing bullets: this deep feelings is the songs on this album led by Alex Oquendo and his band Masacre.

A full-length album that, rooted in the fury of death metal, managed to capture the strident legacy of 80s ultrametal in the city, bringing it closer to a plane of piercing guitars, afflicted vocals, and instrumentation that, for the time, marked a creative path. This was the album that internationalized the band and marked their first tours abroad: Ecuador and Peru. In 2023, it was re-recorded with 21st-century technology and pressed again by the French label Osmose.
