Macabre's 1987 "Grim Reality" E.P. is often mentioned as an early death metal release but in reality there's not enough genuine death metal included to warrant that tag. It's predominantly a thrash metal & crossover thrash release in my opinion so it should only reside in The Pit. There are certainly some death metal riffs on a track like"Mr. Albert Fish (Was Children Your Favorite Dish?)" but the "grim reality" is that the vocals & atmosphere aren't enough to satisfy most death metal fans blood thirsts.

This definitely doesn't sound like death metal to me. In fact it sounds more like a hardcore punk release. I guess it's a bit like SOD with the same immature humour. Personally I hated it!
