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.

Killing Spree
Macabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show no mercy - evil slaying.
Bodies flying - many dying.
No escaping - relatives crying.
The lead flies free for what you've done to me.
I'll shoot you with my gun, when you try to run.
There's nowhere to hide, you're all locked inside.
As you act dead in silence, I rage with violence.
Contemplating - suicide.
Put the gun - against my head.
Pull the trigger - now I'm dead.
The lead flew free for what you did to me.
I shot you with my gun, when you tried to run.
There was nowhere to hide, you were all locked inside.
As you played dead in silence, I rage with violence.
The lyrics of Macabre's song Killing Spree depict a violent act of vengeance and revenge. The first few lines describe a chaotic scene where bullets are being sprayed and people are praying for their lives. The singer is not showing any mercy towards the evil-doers and is slaying them mercilessly. Many people are dying and their relatives are crying, but there is no escaping the violence.
The chorus describes the motive behind the given scenario. The singer has been wronged and wants to take revenge. The lead flies free for what they have done to him, and he will shoot them with his gun when they try to run. There is nowhere to hide as they are all locked inside. As they act dead in silence, the singer rages with violence, and shells keep ejecting, reflecting his thoughts.
Towards the end, the scenario shifts as the singer places the gun against his own head and contemplates suicide. He pulls the trigger, and the lead flies free for what the other person did to him. He shot them with his gun when they tried to run, and there was nowhere to hide. As they played dead in silence, the singer raged with violence. This shows a cycle of violence and vengeance that keeps going, and nobody wins in such a scenario.
