Currently on the band’s first tour of Europe, Montreal’s BENEATH THE MASSACRE offers an update from the road: “The tour is nothing short of amazing!” frontman Elliot Desgagnes says. “The crowd reactions are overcoming our expectations. Touring with our bros in Despised Icon and Misery Index is only making it even better. All the shows have so far been crazy. We really enjoy the European crowd, it almost feels like we're at home.”
Upon completion of the current European tour, BENEATH THE MASSACRE will continue to support the band’s first full-length, with a complete US headlining tour, which will feature support from See You Next Tuesday, Born of Osiris and . The full-length, ‘Mechanics of Dysfunction,’ saw a February 2007 release and has since sent the band out on the road across North America alongside Ion Dissonance, the Summer Slaughter tour with Necrophagist and Cattle Decapitation, and a tour with labelmates Through The Eyes of the Dead and As Blood Runs Black. The 10 new tracks were recorded and produced by Yannick St-Ammand (Despised Icon, Neuraxis), mixed by Pierre Rémillard (Cryptopsy,Krisiun) and mastered by Alan Douches (Dillinger Escape Plan, Shadows Fall) and ‘Mechanics of Dysfunction’ is the full-length follow-up to 2005’s highly praised five-track ‘Evidence of Inequity’ EP.
