Who said nothing good ever comes from evil? Certainly not
MACABRE.
The Chicago-area trio have been crafting sublime art from
the
heinous crimes of serial killers since the mid-1980s.
Macabre blends
elements of true crime, math rock, nursery rhymes, punk, thrash, folk melodies,
death metal,
jazz fusion, black metal and more into an energetic, catchy and unmistakable
amalgam. Murder Metal, the title of their latest release, refers to Macabre's
signature style. It's a genre of one. The all-too-true tales of man's
inhumanity to man are delivered with knife-edge precision, interspersed with
Corporate Death's patented (back when he was a toddler) screech.
Fast and
heavy, with a focus on things that make happy shiny people cringe, the original
members, Corporate Death (guitar and vocals), Nefarious (bass and vocals) and
Dennis the Menace (drums) are still together. Macabre have brought mayhem to
the world in the past decade, playing dozens countries over the years. Macabre's rabid fans, including members of
bands ranging from Carcass to Slipknot, relish the band's tight and
increasingly sophisticated music; they exult in their musical chops as much as
in the band's sense of humor, their killer music, and its deadly subjects.
Murder Metal
is produced by grammy award winner Neil Kernon (Judas Priest, Cannibal Corpse,
Queensryche). He did a masterful job on Macabre's 2000 magnum opus, Dahmer - a
twenty-six song life story murder musical of the man who made Milwaukee
infamous. Corporate Death, serial killer scholar and connoisseur, attended the
trial, taking extensive notes that became the basis for the concept album.
Like Macabre's
beloved 1993 classic Sinister Slaughter (Nuclear Blast), Murder Metal's 13
tracks encompass tales about a lethal assortment of serial killers and mass
murderers. It spans the centuries, ranging from a ditty about the 16th century
"Werewolf of Bedburg," through "Jack the Ripper" in the
19th century, to a host of more recent murderers like the "The Iceman"
and the "Hillside Stranglers". The band revisits Fritz Haarman, the
German butcher whose tasty sausages made unsuspecting cannibals of his
customers. The new song is sung in Fritz' native tongue.
Asked if he
could make up any of these fiendish tales, Corporate Death admitted, "I
could, but then it wouldn't be true crime." File Murder Metal under
non-fiction.
