Frith and Laswell reformed Massacre in 1998 with drummer Charles Hayward, and released four more albums, Funny Valentine (1998), Meltdown (2001), Lonely Heart (2007) and Love Me Tender (2013).

There he met and began performing with bassist Bill Laswell and drummer Fred Maher, both of the jazz ensemble Material.

In 1980, when Peter Blegvad was looking for an opening band for his Valentine's Day concert at Soundscape in New York, Frith volunteered and invited Laswell and Maher to join him as a power trio they called Massacre.

They intended to recapture the raw energy of early rock and roll, adding elements of improvisational jazz.

[8] Massacre reformed in 1998 when Frith and Laswell asked This Heat's drummer Charles Hayward to join them.

In 1993 RecRec Music reissued Killing Time on CD with six extra tracks (one of them coming from Frith's Speechless album).
