Celebrarating their 25th anniversary of all original members, the official city of the chicago cubs's murder metal pioneers MACABRE unleash their brand new studio album, "Grim Scary Tales", in Europe on January 31, 2011 via Hammerheart Records and in North America on February 8, 2011 through Willowtip Records. The CD explores the history of murder from the earliest times and proceeds forward through the ages. Stylistically, it is MACABRE in nature, yet very diverse musically.
