Macabre - Release Animated Video


Two weeks ago, Chicago legends of murder metal/death metal Macabre released their demented, heinous bloodbath of an album, Carnival Of Killers via Nuclear Blast Records. The band has now revealed the animated video for "Joe Ball Was His Name", which was created by Sweden's Amanda Odenlid.




Corporate Death commented: "Joe Ball was a serial killer called the Alligator Man. I started writing this song around our Grim Scary Tales era, but never actually finished it until getting things in place to record Carnival Of Killers. Reading more about him and his evil deeds from way back in the 1930's I tried to give the song an old-time ragtime feel. I hope you like it, it's a little different, but so are we."

Amanda Odenlid said about the video: "Making it basically forced me out of an art-block I'd been having, also making me rediscover how fun it was to draw in this old chibi-style of mine. I went from only having heard of Ball's name somewhere, to almost knowing everything about him that there is to know (except his exact body-count). Despite the grim subject-matter, it was really fun to learn something new and to revisit my old passions for drawing and video-making!"
