MACABRE Frontman Interviewed By METAL ASSAULT (Audio)

February 10, 2011

On February 9, Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal of Metal Assault conducted an interview with frontman Corporate Death of Chicago's murder metal pioneers MACABRE. The chat can now be streamed using the audio player below.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary of all original members, MACABRE unleashed its brand new studio album, "Grim Scary Tales", in North America on February 8 through Willowtip Records. The CD, which was made available in Europe on January 31 via Hammerheart Records, explores the history of murder from the earliest times and proceeds forward through the ages. Stylistically, it is MACABRE in nature, yet very diverse musically. It features original cover art and layout by Scott Jackson from Monsterman Graphics and Rock 'N' Roll Comics fame.

MACABRE recently kicked off a European tour with NAPALM DEATH, IMMOLATION and WAKING THE CADAVER. During this five-week trek, dubbed the "Campaign For Musical Destruction Tour 2010", the band will exclusively be offering fans their brand new album at these live shows far in advance of the 2011 in-store dates.

Born in 1985, MACABRE blends elements of true crime, math rock, nursery rhymes, punk, thrash, folk melodies, death metal, jazz fusion, black metal and more into an energetic, catchy and unmistakable amalgam "murder metal."
