FROM THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER:
"Abysmal" out September 18, 2015 worldwide on Metal Blade Records.
Trevor Strnad (vocals) states: The new album, "Abysmal," is true to The
Black Dahlia Murder formula, but further down the evolutionary path we
began with our Ritual release. It has bigger, more dynamic and developed
songs. It sees the band in a darker, faster and more melancholic place
than anything we've done to date. It is an album
wrought emotion on a scale that we haven't reached with our previous
attempts. It's dripping with urgency, and an undeniable sincere life and
death purpose. It has moments of triumph and moments of utter abandon
and defeat. It runs the gamut. If you can't sense the message of despair
in a song like 'Receipt' or the title track 'Abysmal,' than you are an
unfeeling statue of a person. You speed freaks can also thank the
ungodly contribution of our young skinsman Alan Cassidy, as the new
album sees us approaching maniacal speeds unseen before in the TBDM
catalog.
"I get a lot of inspiration from our continuing
success as a band. There is a tremendous pressure to deliver for our
fans. I want to wow them every time we come back and for our new
material to keep them excited about us. I have had a long, intimate love
affair with death metal and I enjoy sharing my continued excitement for
it through this outlet. I am still obsessed with the macabre and the
darker side of life, and I revel in creating dark lyrical content that
makes the listener react in some way. I enjoy straddling the line
between fantastic elements and real life horror, as there is constant
atrocity all around us in the human experience. You don't have to look
far to find something that is happening in the modern world that can
fill ones sails with disgust.
"The impending Australian tour is
just around the corner and I couldn't be more excited to get back into
the world of touring. We've had a long bout of time at home while
writing the album, the longest break we've had since releasing
Unhallowed, and then leaving on tour. I feel recharged and read to kick
some Aussie ass. It's gonna be a pleasure to be back with Psycroptic, as
their new album is an incredible release and they are the coolest guys
possible. The combo of us, them, and young bucks Colossvs ensures that
beer is soon to be added to the endangered species list. Be sure to grab
your six packs and hold tight!"
