God Macabre
band
God Macabre is a Swedish death metal band. They were formed in the winter of 1988 as a grindcore band named Botten På Burken. In 1989, they switched to death metal and changed their name to Macabre End. Jonas Stålhammar joined the band in the spring of 1990 and took over most of the songwriting. They released a demo in September 1990, Consumed by Darkness. They changed their name again to God Macabre. In 1992, the band split up, after Johansson and Nilsson had left the band in 1991, and no suitable replacements were found. Boder and Sjöberg formed the band Snake Machine, which evolved into Space Probe Taurus. After the split-up, the only album recorded was released - The Winterlong.... Relapse Records reissued the album in 2002 with the demo as bonus tracks.
