Chicago's Macabre finally return with their highly anticipated concept album dedicated to Milwaukee "sicko serial-killer" Jeffrey Dahmer (wasn't it possible for those guys to find a better subject to talk about !!!). Fast, mega fast, I still don't know how I survived the first listening my friends. What a rhythm, what a drum, what a fist in my face. Macabre's murder metal (?) sound is a combination of intense drumming (what a drum !!!!!!), double horrific chording and mega breakneck heavy and speed riffs.

Produced, recorded and mixed by the legendary Neil Kernon (Judas Priest, Queensryche, Nevermore), Macabre unearth a chilling 26 song musical journey into the bizarre world of Dahmer (the sickest serial killer of America). Macabre uniquely blend all metal genres with punk, jazz and humor (In The Army Now, Jeffrey Dahmer and The Chocolate Factory) creating an album where no two songs are alike.

Macabre's legendary innovative status stems from their long dedication to music, they formed over fifteen years ago, have never broken up and have never had a line up change (well I guess it is not easy to find other crazy guys like you). I am totally against the subject and even though there is a lot of humor in this record, Dahmer deserve for my personal taste to much honor from Macabre (a song would have been ok, but a full album !!!). Anyway ... this album is simply unbelievable. You won't find a metal record like this one and you will be knockout after the first play.

Killing Songs :
In The Army Now, Exposure, Drill Bit Lobotomy
