Bloodred Massacre is the fourth studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. It is their first release to feature vocalist, Sven Gross, who performed with the band until his death in 2021.
This album, although somewhat different from the previous Fleshcrawl releases, is highly archetypal of the band's general 1990s sound. It is more rhythmic than its predecessors, helping to fortify the band's stake in the melodic death metalgenre, and is strongly characterized by agile, and smooth, yet sometimes dramatic patterning transitions, medium-to-high tempo cyclic riffs that sometimes resemble speed metal, baritonic death growls, and rapid double bass drum rolls, typical of death metal. The general themes of the album remain consistent with earlier releases, and cover such concepts as violent death, hell-born rebirth (Hellspawn), misanthropy (Bloodred Massacre), deception (The Messenger), and eternal damnation (Through The Veil of Dawn).
