Engel's web page, it is mentioned that the tracks were re-mastered by Patrick. The credit on the release booklet is not a typo. Patrick remastered everything from album tracks to the bonus tracks included on the CD, however, according to Century Media, he preferred to be credited with just ?all tracks mastered??.
Stefan Franke, credited on the release with the reissue concept and product coordination, compiled all the parts from the band (audio/visual material), arranged and corrected all texts, came up with the ideas for the layout and worked that out with the Century Media graphic department, got the original LPs from friends to scan, reached out to collectors to get rare photos, handled all communication with guitarist Jean-Marc Tristani and collected stuff from him, and basically coordinated and advised everything around this reissue.
Fred Death is mentioned with his correct surname on this release on the tribute page. His surname was never Duval, but Daval.
R"Signs Of The Decline (Re-Issue+Bonus)" on CD captures one of the key milestones in the career of the French extreme metal band Massacra. Originally released in the early 1990s, this album documents the band's transition from raw, ruthless death/thrash towards a more structured and mature sound, without sacrificing the intensity and darkness that made them a cult name in the underground. Fast, razor-sharp riffs, relentless drumming and harsh vocals combine to create an atmosphere of social decay and existential despair, reflected in the album's title and lyrics. This re-issue edition enhances the value of the original with carefully selected bonus material (such as additional tracks or alternative versions, depending on the edition), offering both long-time fans and new listeners a deeper insight into the creative period surrounding the album.
The CD format underscores the dense, aggressive production with a powerful, clear sound that preserves the rawness of the early 90s while benefiting from modern remastering standards, if applied. "Signs Of The Decline (Re-Issue+Bonus)" is an essential piece for fans of classic, uncompromising death/thrash metal and for collectors who want to complete their understanding of the evolution of European extreme metal.
Massacra are considered one of the pioneering bands of the French extreme metal scene. Emerging from the late 1980s underground, they quickly gained recognition with a series of brutal and technically ambitious releases that earned them an international following in death and thrash metal circles. Their albums from this era are frequently cited as influential reference points for later generations of bands, particularly for their blend of speed, aggression and dark, socially critical themes.
