| Macabre (Music) | comment |
Macabre is a Thrash/Death Metal/Grindcore band from Downers Grove, Illinois. Formed in 1985, they are remarkable for the longevity of their lineup and the consistency of their sound from album to album. They have a Lighter and Softer side project, called Macabre Minstrels, that still contains grim content to happy, soft music.Not to be mixed up with the 2009 Indonesian horror film. | |

| Macabre (Music) / int_1c4e3202 | comment |
The Spook: Georg Grossman, just like in real life, was an enigma. Because he killed himself before he could be properly tried in court, his motives or history that couldn’t possibly explained his disgusting actions remain a mystery. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Macabre (Music) / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: Gilles Garnier made a deal with a demon who promised him and his wife could have a better life. The demon allowed him to eat by turning him into a wolf so he and his wife could devour the flesh of children. | |

I'm a Humanitarian | |
| Macabre (Music) / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Albert Fish would turn his victims into stew. Of course we also have songs (even a whole album) about Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the most infamous cannibals in serial killer history. Peter Stumpp, the Werewolf of Bedburg, would travel around Germany eating the hearts of his victims, and even went so far as to eat his own newborn child. "The Wüstenfeld Man Eater" is about Armin Meiwes, who contacted a man who actually volunteered to be eaten. | |

Black Comedy: Probably the blackest comedy there is. One of the best examples has to be "Jeffery Dahmer and the Chocolate Factory", which is a song parody of the classic Oompa Loompa songs. | |

Miniscule Rocking: A good portion of their songs are under two minutes long. This is combined with the tendency they have to load every album with far more songs than average, so much so that they have over 100 released songs despite only having six albums. | |

In "The Iceman", when not murdering people, Richard Kuklinski is noted to be a "dedicated family man". | |

In "Acid Bath Vampire", John George Haigh is depicted as this. In Real Life, he killed his victims so they couldn't report him after swindling the last penny out of them and the whole "drinking blood" shenanigans were an attempt to be declared insane to save himself from the gallows. It didn't work. | |

My Beloved Smother | |
| Macabre (Music) / int_b58c51d8 | comment |
A particular example is Nero, with the band seeming to outright invent several of his crimes. For example, he's accused of ripping out his mother's womb just to see where he came from. In reality he was trying to rid himself of her obsessive control over him and her death was nowhere near as brutal. The song also repeats the infamous myth that Nero orchestrated the fire of Rome and played the lyre as he watched, as alluded to in the title. He also didn't really bite people's genitals off. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade: Not hard to do when a lot of these killers were scum in real life, but it’s noticeable that, even when they sing about the life of killers who have Abusive Parents (like Edmund Kemper) they just make it about them killing For the Evulz. A particular example is Nero, with the band seeming to outright invent several of his crimes. For example, he's accused of ripping out his mother's womb just to see where he came from. In reality he was trying to rid himself of her obsessive control over him and her death was nowhere near as brutal.
