“local metal band The Backwoods Massacre is set to open for MushroomHead this weekend at the Agora theater and ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio. The four piece unit is excited to share the stage for such a major show and they invite the community to make the trip and show their support. "Our music deviates from the norm of today by incorporating old 80's and 90's era heavy metal, but with us taking the best of the new school sound and adding it to the mix", said a spokesperson for the band. "It gives every metal-head something to love. As for playing with MushroomHead, we love that we got this opportunity to branch out and gain some fans regionally. Yes it is a dream come true, but we refer to it as another day at the office.”

— ElkinsTimes, ElkinsTimes Magazine

"The only thing better than TBM in the state of West Virginia is the "Thank you for visiting" sign when you are crossing the border back into civilization."

— T. Larkin productions , Tom Larkin

“The Backwoods Massacre is a four-piece metal band hailing from the Elkins area. Since 2009, they have steadily worked to create a sound that they hope can hold its own in an ever-changing musical climate, while focusing attention on the West Virginia music scene in general and the heavy metal scene in particular. With interesting and frequent stylistic changes vocally and musically, they could quite possibly be well on their way to achieving that goal. The quality of much of The Backwoods Massacre's music can easily rival many of their more well-known contemporaries. ”

— Joey Cutler, Graffiti

“you guys rule I'm saying that as a fellow metalist and a fan, let me break it down, here is my review. as a Band: you come together in a way that is unique and kick ass. Individually: Danch: your arsonel is pretty impressive, Your a non genre confined vocalist and that is hard to find theese days, Henry Thompson: a riff crunching machine, Zombie Namesake: one of the few bassist that impresss me that is a fucking badge of honor believe me lol, Chris as a drummer you don't seem to fall into the same trap as all these other Motherfuckers with their drumming and the whole speed and intensity vs. origionallity, and it holds the band togeter.”

— Dylan Kittle, Fan

“The Backwoods Massacre: This is Metal!!! They have the old school Thrash & Death Metal with there little Modern day twist added to it. This is what Metal should sound like!”

— Patrick Villarreal, Fan
