There are two entries for this name. 1. Macabre are a pioneering death metal band from the USA. They were formed in 1985 in Chicago, Illinois, and ever since have never had a line-up change. They blend thrash metal, death metal and grindcore to form their own unique style dubbed Murder Metal. Oddly enough, although being one of the first bands ever to play death metal, their influence is not as far reaching as one would think.

Burnie, Tasmanian trio INTENSE HAMMER RAGE go all out to shock with their brand of gut churning Grindcore. The band themselves subtly describe their own particular brand of Death Metal as "Putridfoulfesteringdeathgrindcuntcore". INTENSE HAMMER RAGE announced their arrival with a 1995 tape ‘The 24cm Makita Brand Circular Saw’ capitalized on by the following years ‘Massive Sphinkta Release’. Although a quartet at this stage the band would dispense with their vocalist, for reasons as the band put it succinctly of being "lazy, whining, so called vocalist".
Corpsickle was summoned from the ground by meddling occultists at the turn of the millenium. The unimpressed summoned fiends, the zombie of necrophilia and corpsemaster general immediately slew these panda worshipping occultists and enlisted the services of the master of maggot mayhem and unleashed 2 demos of zombified death metal, Eaters of Pus in 2000 and Violating the Dead in 2001. After the second release the fiends returned to their previous antics, ZON started making sweet love to the dead, CMG slayed poofters and defiled virgins and MOMM returned to his tomb.
Death/grind side project of Sam and Jack of Die Pigeon Die and Christoph of Roskopp (AUS) / Internal Rot. They have released a demo tape and two tracks on No Escape Record's Grindcore 2009 compilation. In 2011 they released a split with Roskopp (USA)

Cock And Ball Torture was formed by three ex-members of Carnal Tomb. The band's style may be compared with their countrymen Gut, the German legend of grindcore, as it is mid-tempo grindcore with pitch-shifted vocals and lyrics based on porno. Their style has slowly changed since the beginning, through porngrind to brutal death metal. CBT appeared as a trio in early 1997 and after six months of rehearsals visited a local studio to record a promo tape "Cocktales" which appeared in several underground zines, getting very good reviews.
