Established 1985 - all original members
The trio is a vanguard of the style they’ve come to describe as “murder metal,” a ferocious mix of death metal, punk rock, grind, jazz fusion, thrash and folk melodies among other sounds with lyrics examining real-life stories of serial killers, mass murderers and more. As much as their fiendish riffs and disturbing subject matter make for brutal listening, their twists of nursery rhymes, parody, familiar childhood ditties and folk tunes (Have you ever imagined a song about Jeffrey Dahmer sung in the style of “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain?” You have now.) give every album a grotesquely unhinged vibe—much like the makeup worn by John Wayne Gacy as he entertained kids as “Pogo the Clown.” It’s no wonder that the world’s most extreme metal musicians have long pointed to Macabre as masters of the morbid.
