[2]
In May 2006, Beneath the Massacre signed a record deal with Prosthetic Records, [3] and soon after, they started a tour in Canada with Leng Tch'e and Fuck the Facts. The band began to work with producer Yannick St-Amand on a new album in June that same year, in parallel several dates were announced, and included shows at the Toronto Terrorfest with over 60 bands at the three-day festival between July 14–16, [4] the Robot Mosh Fest in Milwaukee, then in the same month Trails Unto the Sick concerts again with Neuraxis, which included the San Antonio Better off Dead Fest and Albuquerque's Gathering of the Sick Fest.

Beneath the Massacre finished recording an EP in July 2010, which was confirmed to be named Marée Noire (French: "black tide"). Vocalist Desgagnés stated, "It's going to be two years since our last album and we had the idea of a short release while we keep writing for the next full length. We picked five songs to go on the EP and I feel like these are by far the best songs we've ever written. Nothing that different from our other releases but we're always getting a little closer to the sound we want. So we're all satisfied with the result and are looking forward to share it." [7] By late 2011, the band had finished their third full-length album and on February 14, 2012, it was released through Prosthetic. The name of the album is Incongruous. [8] In support of the release, they toured Europe in early 2012 as part of the Bonecrusher fest with Carnifex, Molotov Solution, Within the Ruins, and Betraying the Martyrs.
After 2012, the band became quiet for several years, but in 2018, it was revealed that Beneath the Massacre had plans to record and release new material by 2019, as well as return to touring. The news was confirmed by the band's manager, who also confirmed that the band never broke up. [9] Following the news, the band announced a tour for June 2019. [10] On February 28, 2020, Beneath the Massacre released their fourth album, Fearmonger. [11]
