Macabre's music was strongly influenced by U.S. and U.K. hardcore, grindcore, and death metal acts, ranging from The Accüsed and Cryptic Slaughter to Possessed and Napalm Death. Macabre's sickening sense of humor alienated casual metal listeners. However, it helped to gain a small but strong cult status among fans.
2) 18 Visions had a couple of names before it got finalized. The first name was DANTE, taken from a song by the Seattle band Dead Skin Mask, Dante’s Inferno. The band may or not have played a show under this moniker, but some people remember seeing it on at least one flyer. After that, the band changed it’s name to Macabre (pronounced MAC-a-bree by the HB 9 Balls).
The lineup of the band on the demo was James Hart on vocals, Ken Floyd on drums, Dave Peters on guitar, and Billy Sisler on bass.
3) Short-lived hard rock/proto-metal band from Arlington, VA, United States. Formed in 1970 and released a single in 1972: Be Forewarned / Lazy Lady. A recording titled Rehearsal '72 was also released.
The band's name was sometimes misspelled as "Macbre".
The band re-formed as the Early Doom Metal band Pentagram.
4) Macabre is a solo project from Ali (Alice Ronzini), bass player of the band J.C. Satàn and singer of the band La Secte du Futur.
Macabre was born in a room in the city of Bordeaux and is the result of depression, love, violence, black metal and distorted sounds.
With the collaboration of Pousse Mort, the one and only other member of the band, she wrote the first Demo and recorded it deliberately using lo-fi sound.
At this time Macabre is working on the second Demo and the creation of the first self-titled LP, as a future project. It will contain re-recorded songs from two demos.
At the moment Macabre doesn't perform and remains a misanthrope project.
5) Macabre is a punk band from Santa Ana, California.

The lyrics of Macabre's song Exposure narrate two instances where the same person named Jeffrey has been arrested for indecent exposure. The first incident happened on August 8th, 1982, where Jeffrey dropped his pants in front of a crowd, resulting in his arrest for disorderly conduct. He was fined fifty dollars for the court cost after being found guilty. Four years later, on the same day, Jeffrey was caught exposing himself again, but this time he was masturbating with his pants down to his thighs at Kinnickinnic River. He made the disturbing decision to tell two boys that he was having a great time, which led to his second arrest.
The lyrics seem to suggest that the person being referred to in the song might have some sort of psychological or sexual disorder. The reference to Jeffrey committing the same crime four years later, on the same day, implies an obsession with indecent exposure. The lyrics also highlight the authorities' efforts to curb such behavior by imposing court fines and punishment.
