4.0 out of 5 stars "Your Blood is Spilling, the Sight is Thrilling!", November 6, 2005

By	Gunther Haagendazs (Up High in the Trees) - See all my reviews

Wow, the music here easily deserves five stars. But this re-release is absolutely terrible! If you just want the music and don't care about anything else, then you can go ahead and purchase this Sinister Slaughter/Behind the Wall of Sleep re-release; but those who are die hard Macabre fans and want the lyrics and so forth, they will be disappointed to know that since Nuclear Blast changed the packaging from a Jewel case to a Digipak, there is no lyric insert. The artwork is also butchered. Nuclear blast thought it would have been a good idea to splice the artwork together but it honestly looks hideous. And lets not forget that that Nuclear blast even misspelled the friggin' EP name wrong as Behind the WALLS of Sleep. If you have read any interviews, you'll see that Macabre themselves are very disappointed with Nuclear Blast's cheap attempt at re-releasing these classic albums. I suggest that you hunt down a used copy of the originals with the lyrics, they are helpful in order to figure out what the lyrics are and make the music more enjoyable.

And here is my response to that "music fan". You are an idiot. Plain and simple. Macabre is not worshiping these serial killers and mass murderers, they are writing songs about these murderers. There is a big difference. Never at any point does Macabre state something like "Ted Bundy Rocks and John Wayne Gacy is my Idol!" Think of the families? Are you meaning to tell me that no one can write a song about something that is true? Do you think people shouldn't write songs about war either? That has real people dying too. Are you one of the people who think that violence shouldn't be sung about at all and that we should all be listening to family friendly music and live in Magic Lollypop Mario Mushroom land? Next time think real hard about what you're reviewing before you decide to type out your thoughts.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Most Demented Album I Own, June 24, 2001

By	Kolors "Jimmy" (Pocatello, Idaho) - See all my reviews

I haven't heard Macabre's second release "Dahmer" yet, but could it possibly any sicker than this? This is just some sick and twisted metal. I mean what other band has a song called "The Ted Bundy Song"? Just look at the album cover. I also love how short and to the point each song is. No overly long or complicated songs, just a massacre of double bass drum, thrashing guitars and violent low and high screaming. There can't be any songs on here that are over 2 minutes long. Some don't even reach a minute. This is why they were able to fit 25 songs on this album, clocking in just under one hour. The best song on the album and probably my favorite murder/death metal song of all time is "Vampire of Düssledorf." That song just freakin rules. If you are into death metal/thrash in general and like sick demented music relating to serial killers mainly, Macabre is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars ICH BIN EINE AFFE!!!!!!!, June 24, 2001

By	Nachtterror (MD, USA) - See all my reviews

This is my favorite Macabre CD. Insanely fast and brutally intense. Must buy for serial killer buffs.Check out Murdermetal.com and mindmelt.com for bio, discography, and merchandise.
