Masacre is a seminal figure in the South American extreme metal scene, hailing from the city of Medellín, Colombia. Formed in the late 1980s, the band swiftly became known for their brutal and unrelenting style of death metal. Masacre's lyrical content often delves into themes of violence, social injustice, and political corruption, reflecting the historic turmoil and struggles of their homeland.

Over the years, Masacre has sustained their raw and aggressive sound, as evidenced by their extensive discography that includes forceful releases like "Reqviem," a 2023 re-recorded version of earlier material that showcases the band's dedication to their art and willingness to revitalize their classics for a new generation of metalheads. Live recordings such as "Live in Chile 2019" and "Sangre en Mi Tierra - Muerte Total (Jujuy, Argentina, 2004) [En Vivo]" capture the band's onstage ferocity and their strong connection with fans across Latin America. Albums like "Brutal Aggre666ion" and "Sacro" further cement their status as purveyors of metal that is as technically proficient as it is viscerally impactful. Through decades of upheaval and changes in the music industry, Masacre has remained true to their roots, embodying the enduring spirit and raw power of death metal.
