A Massacra tribute band is playing the Fall of Summer festival in Torcy, France on September 2nd and 3rd along with Unleashed, Exciter, Samael, Paradise Lost, Manilla Road, Abigail, Dead Congregation, and other bands. From the festival’s website:
The Fall of Summer team is glad to reveal that PARADISE LOST will join us and play an old-school set composed of songs from “Gothic” and their first albums. We are also very proud to announce that we will pay TRIBUTE TO MASSACRA, 30 years after their debut with a very special tribute band formed for this occasion . This will be something very personal and that really matters to us as Massacra is one of the most important and influential band of the French Metal scene and hope you’ll be as thrilled as we are to hear their songs live.
The 30TH ANNIVERSARY MASSACRA TRIBUTE band will be composed of Alex Colin-Tocquaine (AGRESSOR) on guitarsand vocal, Frédéric Leclercq (DRAGONFORCE, SINSAENUM) on guitars and vocals, Stéphane Buriez (LOUDBLAST, SINSAENUM) on bass and vocals, Kevin Paradis (AGRESSOR, MELECHESH) on drums and some very special guests that we will announce soon !

When this was new, I specifically bought it because some nameless Metal Hammer reviewer trashed it completely (2/10 IIRC)
as pointless, wannabe high-speed thrash non-music.
Grim Reaper is on this bill?!?!?! No freakin’ way!!!!
Kind of ironic that members from various Massacra-lite bands pay homage to the real deal.
Ah yes, this reminds me that I need to hunt down some old Aggressor material.
It would be nice if mdf could bring the Massacra tribute band, wishful thinking, but it’s a nice thought.
