Macabre (1989) Gloom CD

"Gloom" emerged in an age of dwindling thrash and ascending death and grind. Whereas most bands at the time wore faces of stone seriousness, Macabre brought about humor to an otherwise unoriginal genre. The importance and individuality of this band and this album cannot be stated enough.
This album in particular is marked by extremely fast tempos, lots of bass rolls, a few guitar solos, and multiple vocalists.
The true legacy of Macabre doesn't belong to any of these elements, however. Macabre invented a subgenre of music known as "muder metal," metal that pays lyrical homage to mass death. That's right, nearly every song on this record is about a serial killer or mass murderer. These aren't conveyed in a mundane, death metal manner, though, and this is Macabre's charm. The songs include sing-a-long styled choruses with sarcastic, sordid lyrics. For instance, the chorus of "Holidays of Horror," a heavy song about Christmas killer Ronald Gene Simmons, sings "Merry Christmas, he gunned his family down. His bullets were their presents, dead relatives all around" to an old Vaudeville showtune. Pure brilliance.
