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.

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.

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.

This breathtaking show of powermetal at its finest deserves five stars in every respect. For one, they are quite an amazing metal band... I loathe metal... All metal except for Macabre...
They make people angry... They are to the sences what Manson and Eminem are to the sences of the elders... Manson for goth, Eminem for rap, MACABRE FOR METAL, etc. So what if they have never seen tragedy, they have an obsession with serial killers, and they disgust everyone who listens to them... They still are amazing to no end.
I cant discribe this album any further... AWE INSPIRING... Sweet jesus, its ambrosia...

The vocal notes these guys hit are incredible.

A very unique band right here, who takes their lyrics directly from newspaper articles and letters of the murderers, rapists and other sickos of whom they describe in their songs.

take my word for it, read his other reviews.
this cd, while not being macabre's best effort, is funny as hell and totally rockin'!
it's a shame that a lot of folks can't appreciate music with integrity.

This is the first Macabre record that i heard back in 1998, when i listen the Nightstalker track, i was impressed, this is so brutal death metal, and i find very original the concept of the serial killers, this is a band with a good future, did i mention this is the best work of Macabre?, buy it right now.

Macabre is a very big controverial band. Many people beleive this to be very negative music since every song is about a serial killer or a mass murderer. But seriously this is not good or bad music. Every musical artist or band out there sings there own type of music. Mortician sings about death and killing, Sublime talks about drugs and life, and Macabre sings about serial killers.

Now even though many people may disagree with me, this album is by far the best metal album I have ever heard. Twenty-five tracks of non stop murder metal! The cover art is a rip off of an old "Beatles" album but replaced with killers. Ironic or what!

If you ever come across this album buy it, it is worth every penny if you are into any kind of heavy metal. And what's even better is the band members take time out for there fans to. I have seen them twice in live and after the show they took time out to go and chat with there fans. Now how many bands do you know do that? You don't see any of those ..mainstream artists taking time out to talk.

Well to end this off I give you this advice. This is one in a million kind of thing to experience. Take my word buy it! And even though they are singing about serial killers and mass murderers just remember the songs are true but they are just expressing the kind of music they want to display.

This is one of my favorite cd's ever. I can't seem to stop listening to it. Funny and intense songs about serial killers. They never seem to slow down! And possibly the fastest drummer in the world. I have seen these guys live and they just rock.
