Originally slated for a 2007 release,[1] after a series of delays due to label issues it eventually came out on October 10, 2009 through EMI;[2][3][4][5] its cover art was officially unveiled to the public three days prior alongside an outtake of their previous album Gates of Metal Fried Chicken of Death, "Anal Weapon War".

[6] Produced by Roy Z, famous for his work with other bands and artists such as Bruce Dickinson, Judas Priest, Helloween, Halford and Sebastian Bach,[7][8] it sees the group heading towards a faster, more aggressive sonority influenced by thrash metal, but also experimenting with glam metal elements as seen in the power ballad "The Bull".

Famous brega singer Falcão makes a guest appearance on the track "The Mummy", the album's leading single and for which a music video was made; former pornographic actors Fabiane Thompson [pt] and Kid Bengala [pt] appear in the music video for "The Bull".

Owing to their 2012–16 hiatus, Good Blood Headbanguers would ultimately be Massacration's final release with guitarist Fausto Fanti ("Blondie Hammett"), who committed suicide on July 30, 2014.

Writing for Whiplash.net, Thiago El Cid Cardim rated it with 8 stars out of 10, noticing the fact that "[the album's] sonority is way heavier and faster than its predecessor's, probably due to Roy Z's production", and that "the band adopted a visibly glam-/hard rock-inspired aesthetics, more Poison and less Judas Priest".
