More Details, Track Listing for THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER "Nocturnal"

The often imitated yet never duplicated Detroit deathsters The Black Dahlia Murder have returned to the public eye to reclaim their rightful throne as leaders of all things extreme with their third blackened opus of thrashing melodic death metal, Nocturnal. “I don't think the pretenders will be able to match this one,” proclaims vocalist Trevor Strnad of their scorching new offering, “It's fucking over the top. Brian (Eschbach; guitarist/songwriter) has really outdone himself this time. The kid eats lightning and shits chains.”

Recorded at Trax East with Eric Rachel and mixed by Jason Seucof at Audiohammer, the bands third full length Metal Blade release, Nocturnal, is chock full of flesh searing riffage, mind-bending guitar solos by fret-freak John Kempainen, and the disgustingly poetic gore soaked lyricism that legions of the band's manically adoring fans have been hungering for. From the songs, to the artwork, to the sound quality itself, we could not be more pleased with the results states vocalist Trevor Strnad. Be sure to catch the band live on the Metal Blade 25th Anniversary tour where they will be unleashing some new material off of Nocturnal.
