Gloom is the debut full-length album by American band Macabre, released in 1989. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and original releases in the death/grind scene.

The standard version of "Gloom" lasts only 25 minutes and is characterised by extraordinary intensity, a raw sound and very fast tempos. It features aggressive thrash metal riffs and "dirty", punk-influenced vocals (the band was heavily inspired by the early hardcore scene).

The lyrics often describe real-life crimes and serial killers with a dark sense of humour, a trademark of Macabre's work over the years.
