FROM MASSACRE:
IMPORTANT UPDATE
We the remaining members of Massacre; the combination of
Kam Lee and Mike Borders,
unfortunately must inform fans that as of several weeks ago Rick Rozz (guitars), and speaking on behalf of the drummer Mike Mazzonetto, have stepped down and resigned of their own freewill from their positions and opted to dissolve their partnership from the band Massacre.

After several contract infringement violations, as well as several warnings about poor performance, incompetence, and lack of professionalism were expressed and ignored, a managerial decision and options to rectify issues were set in place as a means of solving disputes without recourse.
However, rather then rectify issues and discuss alternatives to improve in Massacre's live performances, when approached to address the issues, Rozz opted instead to quit and end his position in the band.
Also as mentioned above, Rozz spoke on behalf of drummer Mazzonetto and resigned for both of them.
Simply replying with a note - " Mazz and I pass... there's no reason to continue" - end quote.
Meaning their resignation and departure from the band was final.
With several live performance dates already booked in Texas, Canada, Puerto Rico and several dates in South America still yet to be played, this left Massacre in a predicament.
Wanting to fulfil their commitments and do right by the many promoters and fans alike, managment decisions of having both Mike Borders and Kam Lee move forwards with Massacre and finish out this year's shows with replacement members has been decided upon.
It has been given the okay by all promoters involved.
Unfortunately fans expecting to see a retro reunion combination of Lee and Rozz will be disappointed.
As this now will NOT HAPPEN.
However, Kam Lee shall continue with original bassist Mike Borders into finishing up live performance dates this year with session musicians.
"It's only fair to the fans that have already purchased advance tickets and to the promoters that have spent money on plane tickets, promotion, and booking the venues that we follow thru to our commitments. One monkey don't stop no show. So we must continue. Just like the old saying goes - "the show must go on". So with managerial advice and our own integrity, Mike Borders and I will do our very best to fulfill those commitments and bring Massacre to the fans." - Kam.
As for the future of Massacre, just know that the band shall continue into the new year - 2020 - with both Kam Lee and Mike Borders forging forwards and onwards with an entirely new line up.
