Beneath the Massacre are a technical death metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, formed in the summer of 2004, whose debut EP Evidence of Inequity (2005) and first full-length Mechanics of Dysfunction (2007) on Prosthetic Records established them as one of the most technically demanding acts in North American death metal. After Dystopia (2008) and Incongruous (2012), the band went largely dormant before returning with Fearmonger in early 2020 via Century Media Records. Their music is characterized by relentless precision, high tempos, and complex rhythmic displacement.
