Is Macabre's "Gloom" the pinnacle of hilarious serial killer obsessed grindcore/thrash ever?

There could be very few better ways to kill/murder/decapitate 25 minutes.

I used to love going to Milwaukee Metalfests and seeing Macabre live, so fun!

I just downloaded this but am worried it can't live up to my expectations

thanks CP for reminding me to revisit this after a long absence.

some of the silliest vocals ever, that screechy high pitched warble.

this is the riffiest Macabre that exists. and god the drums are thunderous.

"Holidays of Horror" sleighs me

btw what the fuck is that melody lifted from on the chorus of that song? I know it's the same melody of that stupid birthday song they sing at Chili's "Happy happy birthday/from the Chili's crew" but....where did that melody originate?

it's driving me insane. can't find any info on it.

NEW MACABRE ALBUM

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:13 (three years ago) link

"Joe Ball Was His Name" was catchy

this next song is called "Stinky"

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:14 (three years ago) link

this is more in the vein of Dahmer than the unhinged craziness of Gloom, but it's entertaining as hell, as usual. especially the stupid voices both vocalists do.

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:15 (three years ago) link

lots of playing children's songs with parody lyrics as usual

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:15 (three years ago) link

omg, "Stinky" is using the "Slinky" theme song

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:16 (three years ago) link

and now they're doing a sendup of "Dem Bones" ("Them Dry Bones")

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:22 (three years ago) link

running outta serial killers, yet more songs about Richard Speck and Dr Holmes, who they've covered before...

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:24 (three years ago) link

"Wheels on the Bug" =....ahh i don't have to tell you

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Friday, 13 November 2020 05:39 (three years ago) link

"Stinky" is about John Wayne Gacy btw.

the stink being dead bodies

they really need to find other serial killers to write about. I mean there are hundreds of lesser known ones

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Saturday, 14 November 2020 03:11 (three years ago) link

the Sinister Slaughter album is pretty dope too (the one after Gloom)

finally got the Grim Reality EP, their first real release. it's only 12 minutes long, six songs. came with both Neil Kernon remix and the original 80s versions. the Neil Kernon remix sucks, it's too clean and polished.

they had already kinda found their sound but it's a wee bit more thrashy without as much grind/death influence. these guys are just fun.

they were written with a ouija board and a rhyming dictionary (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 12 January 2022 22:42 (two years ago) link

Grim Reality was my introduction to the band. I loved how "Mass Murder" was just three guys taking turns soloing, pretty unorthodox for the time!

they were pretty ahead of their time! kinda sad that their live shows features very little pre-Dahmer music. not that I don't like that album, but Gloom and Sinister Slaughter are my favs.
