MACABRE END (pre-GOD MACABRE) cover song included on the upcoming album "Nordic Embryogenesis" to be released on September 9th, 2026 on CD, 12"LP, Cassette & Digital formats through Xtreem Music (https://www.xtreemmusic.com)

"Some of you may be wondering why we chose to cover the Swedish band MACABRE END rather than GOD MACABRE, the name they adopted shortly afterwards. The reason is simple: this album is mainly focused on the demo years, so we wanted to revisit their earliest and rawest material. The "Consumed By Darkness" demo was recorded in 1990 and remixed the following year, with a few keyboard parts added for its 7" EP release, although the recordings themselves remained exactly the same. Just two songs and an intro were enough to make me a devoted fan.

After that, they changed their name to GOD MACABRE and recorded another masterpiece: a seven-track EP that felt more like a full-length album. Shortly afterwards they split up and never recorded any new material again. It wasn't until 2013 that they reunited to play a handful of underground festivals. Fortunately, I've met Per, their vocalist, several times over the years, and I even had the pleasure of having him contribute guest vocals on "Deathgeneration".

Their haunting melodies, incredibly well-crafted songwriting, and above all Per Boder's deep, unmistakable voice, one of my greatest influences as a vocalist, gave the band a unique identity within the Swedish Death Metal scene. It's a shame they never recorded anything else... although, considering how many bands radically changed their style during those years, perhaps it's better that they left behind such a flawless legacy".
