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 ↴
Hang down your head and cry;
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're bound to die.
I met her on the mountain,
There I took her life;
I killed her on the mountain,
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Hang down your head and cry;
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're bound to die.
This time tomorrow,
They'll be hanging me;
If it wasn't for sheriff Grayson,
I'd been in Tennessee.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Hang down your head and cry;
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're bound to die.
This time tomorrow,
Reckon where I'll be;
Down in some lonesome valley,
Hangin' from a white oak tree.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Hang down your head and cry;
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're bound to die.
Poor boy, you're bound to die...
The lyrics of Tom Dooley tell a story of a man named Tom Dooley who has committed a heinous crime – the murder of a woman on a mountain. Tom is now on the run and knows that he will be caught and sentenced to death, which is evident from the repeated phrase "Hang down your head, Tom Dooley". The lyrics give us a glimpse into Tom's state of mind as he knows his fate.
The lyrics also allude to the possibility of Tom being caught due to the help of Sheriff Grayson, who is portrayed as a figure of authority in the song, possibly hinting at the importance of law enforcement in bringing criminals to justice. The final verse reveals Tom's impending execution and his thoughts about where he will be after death.
Overall, the song's lyrics portray a sense of hopelessness and despair, emphasizing the consequences of one's actions and serving as a warning against committing crimes.

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Tom Dooley, you should lower your head in shame
Hang down your head and cry;
Cry because of what you have done
Poor boy, you're bound to die.
Because of your actions, you will be executed
I met her on the mountain,
I met the victim on the mountain
There I took her life;
I killed her
I killed her on the mountain,
I murdered the victim on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife.
I killed the victim by stabbing her with a knife
This time tomorrow,
By this time tomorrow
They'll be hanging me;
I will be executed by hanging
If it wasn't for sheriff Grayson,
If it weren't for sheriff Grayson's intervention
I'd been in Tennessee.
I would have fled to Tennessee
Reckon where I'll be;
I wonder where I will end up
Down in some lonesome valley,
In some lonely area
Hangin' from a white oak tree.
I will be executed by hanging from a white oak tree
Poor boy, you're bound to die.
Because of your actions, you will be executed

Went down a rabbit hole tonight, remember watching your videos bout a decade ago was only 10/11ish. My tastes haven’t changed much but I feel like you’ve opened up a macabre door for me that lead to creature feature and Voltaire.
