Macabre"Murder Metal" This band has been around for quite some time now and, to be honest, it's the first time that I've actually been pointed in their direction, which is suprising to me because I have a certain fondness for people who are doing something that's totally original and that's exactly what Macabre is known for. The whole "concept" behind this band is that they're writing "true crime" music. Their lyrical content is based around mass murderers, serial killers and other famous and not so famous people who have been known to take a life or two in some strange and often brutal form. Historial horror that's firmly planted in reality or, to be blunt, the album title says it all, "Murder Metal." It's an exceptionally original and somewhat disturbing concept. As far as the music, well, that only adds to their originality. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it. Maybe if you took a bit of punk, death metal, hardcore, rock and thrash and threw it into a meat grinder and added a slight sense of humor to give it a bit of flavor, served up raw, you'd have some idea as to what Macabre sounds like. Yeah...it's educational, it's twisted, it's brutal, it's entertaining...and this raging slab 'o' metal will lure you in and rip your head clean off. It's pure bloody fun. Check it out and become Macabre's next victim. |
