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.

Macabre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was different from the rest
A child prodigy with a chemistry set
He would sit alone in his room and experiment
Read about Hitler and his henchmen
Poison poison
Graham's little friend
Poisoning his friends
He poisoned his mom at the age of 14
She suffered in pain until she died
He poisoned his sister and his dad
They didn't die so his plot was had
Arsenic arsenic
Arsenic poisoning
Arsenic arsenic
Arsenic poisoning
Went to trial, found guilty but insane
Spent 9 years with the mentally deranged
Went through lots of therapy
The doctor signed the paper that set him free
Poison poison
Poisoning his friends
Poison poison
Poison till the end
He got a job in the photo industry
Made some friends and put thallium in their tea
He kept charts on their misery
Of the heavy metal poison he put in their tea
Metal metal
Metal poisoning
Heavy metal
Metal poisoning
The lyrics of "Poison" by Macabre depict the true story of Graham Frederick Young, a child prodigy with a passion for chemistry who became a notorious serial killer. Graham was known to be different from the rest as he would sit alone in his room and conduct experiments while reading about Hitler and his henchmen. However, what started as a harmless hobby took a dark turn when Graham discovered the lethal properties of certain chemicals.
The chorus of the song highlights Graham's weapon of choice, poison. Graham's love for chemistry and his knowledge of harmful chemicals led him to use poison to inflict pain and suffering on those closest to him. The lyrics mention the victims of his poison, including his mother, sister, and father.
The song also mentions Graham's trial and his diagnosis of being guilty but insane. Graham spent nine years in a mental institution, receiving therapy and treatment. However, he continued to use poison after his release and caused more harm, as stated in the lyrics.
Overall, the song "Poison" by Macabre is a dark and eerie depiction of the life of a serial killer who used poison to satisfy his desires.
