Band history
The band was formed in August 1985 in Chicago by "Corporate Death" (vocals, guitar), "Nefarious" (bass, vocals) and "Dennis The Menace" (drums). The line-up has not changed since then and, according to the band, there will never be such changes. Most of the songs deal with real serial and mass murderers with a lot of black humor , among other things they released a concept album about Jeffrey Dahmer in 2000 .
In addition to the mostly American serial killers, Germans are also used quite often as models, such as Fritz Haarmann , Peter Kürten , Joachim Kroll , Armin Meiwes or Peter Stump . In addition to various US and European tours, “Macabre” also played at the Wacken Open Air in 2002 and at the Obscene Extreme in 2003 and 2008 . In 2006 her first DVD, True Tales of Slaughter and Slaying, was released with a recording of a concert in Dordrecht .
