Cease to Exist wrote:In the case of Macabre - they are more of a musical version of a true crime book. The reason one would listen to Macabre is the same reason someone would buy any book on any serial killer. It's human nature to gravitate towards what we don't know.

Take the 'Dahmer' album for example - it's a biography.

"Depending on your point of view this remastered album Sinister Slaughter ...from Macabre... is either good, clean, sick fun or done in bad taste. My feeling is that it perhaps lies somewhere in between, however make no mistake this is one of the finest examples of early extreme metal. I mean c'mon, where else are you going to find a whole collection of songs devoted to some of the world's most notorious serial killers, not to mention the hilarious mock Sgt. Pepper album cover design.

...Whether you're reveling in the devastating power of "Zodiac", "Killing Spree (Postal Killer) or laughing you ass off while singing along with the catchy chorus of 'I'm going to strangle you and slit your throat too, I'm going to kill you just because I want to' on "Vampire Of Düsseldorf"

They also have songs called "Edmond Kemper had a horrible temper", "What The Heck, Richard Speck ( 8 Nurses You Wrecked)" and "Albert )Fish) was worse than any fish in the sea." and have someone dress up as the Zodiac during their concerts and perform mock executions of the band members.

Yeah, real educational stuff. This is clearly played for laughs or to "shock". Disgusting.

Here's a Hank Williams country song covered by Volbeat, I REALLY like the singer's vocals, he has a very powerful and unique style:

Oakland's Neurosis is one of my favorite bands.
