Macabre - Dahmer
Finally!! I’ve lost track of the years I’ve been waiting for a new album from Macabre. After all this time, could anything possibly live up to my expectations? Maybe not. This is, after all, not Sinister Slaughter Part 2 (although I’ve heard that their next album, Murder Metal, will be!). There’s less concern about extreme speed, and perhaps more placed on sing-alongs. That’s not to say that this is an un-heavy disc. It’s intense, and as you’d guess, plenty sick. But there are times while listening to it that I think it’s more “Murder Punk” than “Murder Metal.” Nothing new about that, though. Dahmer is certainly a memorable album, but for the most part, its extremity does lie more within the lyrics than the music. I don’t have a problem with that, but some might. So, is this the perfection I had been waiting for? It’s pretty close. And in some places, the playing is absolutely stunning, which is made even more so by the fact that they use their technical skill to write memorable songs, and not just show off.
