American extreme metal band from Chicago, formed in 1985, known for songs about real-life killers and a self-described "murder metal" style.

Long-running Chicago-based extreme metal band formed in 1985. Known for thematic songs about serial killers and violent crime. Core members are publicly known by stage names (Corporate Death, Nefarious, Dennis the Menace).

Sinister Slaughter (1993) continues Macabre's extreme, true-crime-themed approach with sharper lyrical depth than their debut. The record mixes death metal, grindcore and occasional bluesy touches while treating criminal subjects with sardonic lightness. Track lengths vary wildly; highlights include "Night Stalker", "The Ted Bundy Song" and "Zodiac". The reviewer calls it Macabre's masterpiece for listeners already versed in extreme metal.

For:Fans of death metal and extreme metal who accept dark humor and true-crime lyrical themes.

 Macabre have always had, in fact, the peculiarity of sinking their roots in many different genres: when they talk about their main influences, they mention the Beatles, the Ramones, and Black Sabbath... bands very different from each other.
