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.
Macabre can also be heard
as their alter-ego Macabre Minstrels (Macabre unplugged ,
featuring folk tales and childrens songs with an evil twist.
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.
