News : Macabre (USA) are touring

By on March 29, 2012

The Chicago murder metal maniacs are back, hitting Australia with their sick gore humour for the second time in 3 years.

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. Their all-too-true tales of human depravity are delivered with knife-edge precision.

Fast and heavy, with a focus on serial killers, the original members, Corporate Death (guitar and vocals), Nefarious (bass and vocals) and Dennis the Menace (drums) are still going strong after 25+ years, and no line up changes which is amazing in todays musical climate.

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 humour, their killer music, and its deadly subjects.

Touring Australia to promote their Grim Scary Tales album (Decomposed Records) Macabre will again be headlining High Voltage Fest along with sideshows in most states.
