FROM KAM LEE (MASSACRE):
A NEW CHAPTER, NOT THE END OF MASSACRE
With the recent announcement of my joining Benediction, I want to take a moment to address what this means for Massacre and put any speculation about the band's future to rest.
First and foremost, Massacre is not ending. My decision to join Benediction represents an exciting new chapter in my musical career, but it doesn't mean I'm walking away from Massacre or abandoning everything we've built.
What it does mean is that priorities have shifted. Moving forward, Benediction will be taking up the majority of my time and attention, particularly throughout 2027. It's an opportunity I'm fully committed to, and one that deserves the time, energy, and dedication necessary to do it properly.
That said, there are still plans for Massacre to perform select shows, and I fully intend to keep those commitments moving forward. Massacre remains an important part of my musical history, identity, and legacy, and I have no intention of closing that chapter.
However, I also want to be realistic about expectations. Any plans for new Massacre material or another full-length album will be pushed back for the foreseeable future, potentially for several years. Rather than rush into another recording cycle or try to maintain a schedule that doesn't make sense right now, I'd rather allow things to develop naturally and focus on making the most of the opportunities currently in front of me.
I've always believed that it's important to move forward rather than simply go through the motions. Sometimes that means reassessing priorities, taking on new challenges, and allowing different chapters of your musical journey to unfold.
I appreciate everyone who has continued supporting Massacre throughout the years, as well as those who are welcoming me into this new chapter with Benediction.
Massacre isn't over. It's simply a shift in priorities, not a farewell.
Thank you for understanding and continuing to support both bands
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
