	Macabre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macabre is a term applied to a type of artistic or literary works, characterized by a grim or ghastly atmosphere.
		According to Gaston Paris (Romania, xxiv., 131; 1895) it first occurs in the form macabre in Jean le Fèvre's Respit de la mort (1376), Je lis de Macabre la danse, and he takes this accented form to be the true one, and traces it in the name of the first painter of the subject.
		Macabre themes are often preoccupations in the Goth subculture.

	MACABRE - LoveToKnow Article on MACABRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		The word has gained its significance from its use in French, la danse macabre, for that allegorical representation, in painting, sculpture and tapestry, of the ever-present and universal power of death, known in English as the Dance of Death, and in German as Totentanz.
		The typical form which the allegory takes is that of a series of pictures, sculptured or painted, in which Death appears, either as a dancing skeleton or as a shrunken corpse wrapped in graveclothes to persons representing every age and condition of life, and leads them all in a dance to the grave.
		According to Gaston Paris (Romania, xxiv., 131; 1895) it first occurs in tl~e form macabre in Jean le Fvres Res pit de la mart (5376), Je lis de Macabre la danse, and he takes this accented form to be the true one, and traces it in the name of the first painter of the subject.

	macabre. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		The word macabre is an excellent example of a word formed with reference to a specific context that has long since disappeared for everyone but scholars.
		Macabre is first recorded in the phrase Macabrees daunce in a work written around 1430 by John Lydgate.
		The macabre element may be an alteration of Macabe, “a Maccabee.” The Maccabees were Jewish martyrs who were honored by a feast throughout the Western Church, and reverence for them was linked to reverence for the dead.

	Danse Macabre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		La Danse Macabre, also called Dance of death, La Danza Macabra, or Totentanz, is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death united all.
		La Danse Macabre consists of the personified death leading a row of dancing figures from all walks of life to the grave—typically with an emperor, king, pope, monk, youngster, beautiful girl, all in skeleton-state.
		Musical examples include the Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns (1874) and the Totentanz by Franz Liszt (1849), a set of variations based on the plainchant melody Dies Irae.

	Danse Macabre
		Macabre is a French word that makes its first known appearance in the fourteenth century, in a fragmented poem by Jean Le Fevre; Je fis de Macabre la danse.
		Macabre was a word created to describe the interaction of the dead, or death, with the living, and with this uncanny shudder retains this use to this day.
		Death and the danse macabre are superb examples of the Church or whatever authority, adopting and formalising a strong local image for their purpose, which of course is what happened in Wallachia.

	Macabre
		Originally released on video in the U.S. as "Frozen Terror," "Macabre" isn't one of Lamberto Bava's best movies, then it also isn't one of his worst.
		"Macabre" is pretty talky up until its climax, when we learn what Stegers has been freezing for so long.
		All in all, "Macabre" is a movie strictly for Bava fans and lovers of cheesy early 1980s Italian horror, and doesn't come close the greatest of the "Demons" films or even "A Blade in the Dark." General viewers won't find much to cheer here.

		Macabre blends elements of true crime, math rock, nursery rhymes, punk, thrash, folk melodies, death metal, jazz fusion, fl metal and more into an energetic, catchy and unmistakable amalgam.
		Macabre's rabid fans, including members of bands ranging from Carcass to Slipknot, relish the band's tight and increasingly sophisticated music; they exult in their musical chops as much as in the band's sense of humor, their killer music, and its deadly subjects.
		Macabre can also be heard as their alter-ego Macabre Minstrels (Macabre unplugged, featuring folk tales and children’s songs with an evil twist.

	Danse Macabre
		Fifty minutes of shocking drama and exquisite music by La Brigata, Sue Tyson and Kristine Szulik sing, act and play the music and the horror of the Black Death, that swept through Europe between 1348 and 1450.
		It was based on the popular belief, fostered by the plagues and wars of the 14th and 15th centuries, that the dead, as skeletons, rose from their graves and tempted the living, of all ages and ranks, to join them in a dance that brought them finally to death
		The dance of death, or danse macabre, or Totentanz, was first embodied in murals and a poem (1424–25) in the Church of the Holy Innocents in Paris.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - MACABRE - Murder Metal
		With MACABRE the oldest formation in terms of "Murder Metal" is coming back, quite furiously, if I may add.
		When they set out back in 1987 with their mini LP "Grim Reality" and set the foundation for their bloody journey, they were belittled often.
		Ever since there have been no barriers for MACABRE and the spectrum that the band covers here is almost insatiable.

	Danse Macabre iconography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		Although the origins of the danse macabre, or Dance of Death, are still obscure, probably the most famous version was the (now lost) mural of 1424-25 with accompanying verses in the churchyard of the Franciscan convent Aux SS.
		The popularity of the danse macabre can also be observed in tomb iconography from the later fifteenth century on.
		The skeleton on the incised slab at Wijk may represent the deceased, yet it could equally be Death himself with his dart, wearing a biretta in mockery of the dead clergyman.

	Macabre - Unabomber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		For those of you that don’t know Macabre’s special brand of murder metal (a mix of eighties death, eighties crossover/hardcore and good ol’ hardrock riffs played at an insanely fast speed) it must be said that this shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
		Macabre has existed since the late eighties and with "Murder Metal" they have made it their "thing" to have all the lyrics deal with serialkillers and creeps alike.
		First track of this mCD is about Ted Kazinsky (The Unabomber) and is a bit different in style than we know it from Macabre.

		Inside each booklet is the Danse macabre scene as well as the text of the dialogues.

	The Faint: Danse Macabre: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		Indie rock (with the exception of the obscure supergroup The Hattifatteners) has never expressed much of an interest in a "ring of corpses holding hands," but if the kids really want to fight the culture industry through song, they should embrace this, as death does not care for social standing or wealth.
		Fear of falling victim to the plague's wrath became a part of everyday life for the people of the time, inspiring a lot of art, poetry, music, and most importantly, woodcuts, about death.
		Danse Macabre is also a symphony by Camille Saint-Saens, a progressive-metal band from Birmingham, and an 18+ night on Thursdays.

	Macabre - Dahmer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		MACABRE perform a twisted original death metal with elements from traditional music, punk rock and hardcore beats mingled in an original way to make the craziest music ever heard!
		Moreover, the lyrics dealing with the life and death of Jeffrey Dahmer, Milwaukee butcher, just make this release a must for all the death metal maniacs around the world.
		The sound is perfect (a bit too clean, maybe), and the lyrics absolutely psychotic, with a peculiar sense of humour that MACABRE uses to express.

	Eric Brown - Short Stories - Venus Macabre
		I wrote "Venus Macabre" in February '92, and it's one of the very few stories I cannot for the life of me recall writing, or even plotting or thinking about.
		Devereaux chose Venus as the venue for his last performance for two main reasons: the stars cannot be seen from the surface of the planet, and Venus is where he first died.
		Devereaux hits the lava, and the casing of the Spider melts in the molten stream, and then he feels nothing.
