The Black Dahlia Murder has unleashed a torrent of updates. The band has a new record out later this year, plus extensive touring throughout Europe. They will release their tenth album, Servitude, on Sept. 27 via Metal Blade Records.

The new record marks the band's continuation after the passing of vocalist/co-founder Trevor Strnad in 2022.

“Everyone that’s in the band now is someone that Trevor and I searched for,” co-founder Brian Eschbach says. “We spent so much time on the road together that everyone understands the mission statement. We don’t really need to talk about it. We just need to make great music and try to make people happy playing it.”

On Servitude, Eschbach moves from guitar to vocals, with former member Ryan Knight returning on guitar (who last played on 2015 album Abysmal).

Servitude Track Listing:

1. Evening Ephemeral

2. Panic Hysteric

3. Aftermath

4. Cursed Creator

5. An Intermission

6. Asserting Dominion

7. Servitude

8. Mammoth's Hand

9. Transcosmic Blueprint

10. Utopia Black

Humankind has always had an uneasy relationship with rats. Many people hold on to the belief that they are disease vectors, and they've been blamed for the spread of many awful maladies over the centuries, the black plague and leprosy being two the most famous and deadly.

I cannot think of another record label that could have released The Black Dahlia Murder's new full-length Nocturnal.

This is a metal album from start to finish, so it only makes sense for it to be released by the label that … Read more

I spent a good year learning the guitar arrangements, melodies, and riffs of The Black Dahlia Murder's Metal Blade Records debut, Unhallowed. It was certainly a fun, morbid, and visceral expedition into the world of melodic death metal, a la Gothenburg, Sweden. After having seen the phenomenal live show that this band put on, including the mind-bending drumming of Zach … Read more
