THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER – Nocturnal


Today I’d like to share with you a devilishly delightful death metal CD that delivers jaw dropping intensity and relentless rhythmic patterns. Rarely have I receive a CD that appealed to me so quickly like this one did. “Nocturnal” is a masterpiece of intricate song writing, sweet guitar solos, mind-blowing drumming, ruthless riffing, and dark lyrics that only THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER could create. Covering such topics as serial killers, suicide, necrophilia, and misanthropy, this CD is a blood soaked opus of horrific prose.


THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER has set the bar a little higher with their third release, "Nocturnal". Their trademark brutal yet melodic style has been fine-tuned with the addition of a new drummer and a new bassist. The band now consists of Trevor Strnad on Vocals, Brian Eschbach on Guitars, John Kempainen on Guitar, and featuring ex- ALL THAT REMAINS drummer Shannon Lucas, and Ryan "Bart" Williams on Bass.

If you're looking for some new extreme music, look no further than THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER's "Nocturnal" CD, you won't be disappointed. And look for them on tour in January and February of 2008. FANGORIA and METAL MANIACS are sponsoring a contest to help promote their tour, where you can win an ESP AX 50 silver guitar, a Coffin Case, and a corpse (prop)!
