Carnival of Killers is the sixth album by American extreme metal band Macabre. It was released through Nuclear Blast on November 13, 2020.[1]
Reception[edit]
Angela Davey in Kerrang! described Carnival of Killers as "for death metal fans looking for expert songwriting and precision, this record is best avoided. This is a tongue-in-cheek rendering of the genre from the band who supposedly helped to craft it. There’s silliness aplenty and a great riff or two, however, this is a novelty album that’s meant to be taken light heartedly. Listen with a sense of humour and you won’t be disappointed."[2] Blabbermouth described the album as "no surprises to be found on Macabre's "Carnival of Killers", and the band's campy humor has always been the primary driver of their musical odes to horrific crimes. But even longtime fans may still lament that, given the nine-year wait, there's not a little bit more metallic meat to the record's bones."[3]
