THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Announce Everblack; First Track Now Streaming
April 9, 2013, 11 years ago
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER's sixth full-length album, Everblack, will be released worldwide in June. The album art for Everblack was painted by renowned artist Nick Keller and recording was completed at Audiohammer Studios (lead guitars and vocals), Rustbelt Studios (drums), and Regal Fecal (guitar and bass). Mixing was handled by Jason Suecof and Ryan Williams, mastering was completed by Alan Douches at West Westside. Trevor Strnad's horror-inspired lyrics persist onEverblack, beginning with In Hell is Where She Waits for Me,a reference to the murder from which the band took for their moniker.
Check out the track 'Into The Everblack' below:
Vocalist Trevor Strnad elaborates on the lyrical concepts: "The opening track is the first actual song we've done about the Black Dahlia. This one is for the fans… they've been asking for this to happen for a long time. The story takes place at the Elizabeth Short's rain drenched funeral, where her killer in attendance… just one of the many macabre tales woven into the fabric ofEverblack. Subterranean flesh-farming vampires, vine rape, Jeffery Dahmer, amputation… it's all here! With this sixth slab of sickness I tried my best to honor the band's legacy and write lyrics that will keep the legions of horror fiends perspiring with fear."
Fans can grab Everblack on a triple gatefold double LP with purple/white marbled vinyl, along with "crime scene bundles." An evidence pack, which includes toe tags, deceased band member photos, spent shotgun shells, and more can be viewed now. These bundles are extremely limited and expected to sell out quickly.
Everblack will be released on June 11th in North America and on June 7th/10th in Europe. The Black Dahlia Murder will be touring in support of Everblack all summer long as part of theVan's Warped Tour.
