Macabre's music was strongly influenced by US and UK hardcore, grindcore, and death metal acts that ranged from Venom, The Accüsed, Suicidal Tendencies, and Cryptic Slaughter to Possessed and Napalm Death. Macabre's dark sense of humor alienated casual metal listeners, however, it helped to gain a small cult following.[2]
