About

Macabre is an American extreme metal band formed in 1985 that is known for pioneering a unique style they call 'murder metal.' Their music blends elements of death metal, thrash metal, and grindcore, often incorporating nursery rhymes and folk melodies to tell historically accurate stories about serial killers and mass murderers.
