Macabre is an American extreme metal band from Chicago. [1] Since their formation in 1985, the band has featured the same three members with no lineup changes. The group's style blends thrash metal, death metal, and grindcore (sometimes with nursery rhymes and folk melodies). Lyrically, Macabre have a strong focus on serial killers, mass murderers and humorous elements. [2] The group is currently signed to Nuclear Blast.

Influences

Macabre's music was strongly influenced by US and UK hardcore, grindcore, and death metal acts that ranged from Venom, The Accüsed, Raw Power, Suicidal Tendencies, and Cryptic Slaughter to Possessed and Napalm Death. Macabre's dark sense of humor alienated casual metal listeners, however, it helped to gain a small cult following. [2]
