The Profile

Massacre is an experimental rock trio formed in New York in 1980. Its best-known early lineup included Fred Frith (guitar), Bill Laswell (bass) and Fred Maher (drums); the debut album Killing Time was released in 1981. The group later reconvened with Charles Hayward on drums and released Funny Valentine.

Lineups mentioned in the reviews: Fred Frith (guitar), Bill Laswell (bass), Fred Maher (original drums), Charles Hayward (replaced Maher). Debut album: Killing Time (1981). Second studio album mentioned: Funny Valentine (released 17 years after the debut).

Two DeBaser reviews by macaco look at Massacre's debut Killing Time (1981) and its long-delayed follow-up Funny Valentine. Killing Time is presented as a confrontational, instructive document about guitar approach; Funny Valentine is described as puzzling and singular — to be heard once and archived. Both reviews give the records a middling score (3/5).
