Macabre Omen is a Hellenic atmospheric black metal band formed in 1994 in the vein of classic Greek black metal bands (e.g. early Rotting Christ) and the legacy of Bathory. Epic, grandiose soundscapes and ancient Greek lyrical thematics make Macabre Omen an equivilient of the fellow Hellenic act Nocternity. Macabre Omen is likely to return with a follow up to 2005’s ‘The Ancient Returns’ in 2012.
Fans of Macabre Omen will be interested to hear the founding member’s other project, The One; in particular the 2008 release ‘I, Master’. Nevertheless, The One is entirely different - evoking a very negative, self-destructive atmosphere, much more aggressive in style, and almost irrelevant to Macabre Omen. |
