THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER will return to North America this fall to headline the IndieMerch Tour with Iron Reagan, Harm’s Way, and Maruta. The trek will start Oct 3rd and run through Oct 30th and it marks the group’s first official Canadian/US tour supporting their highly anticipated new album, Abysmal, which comes out on September 18th on Metal Blade Records. Be sure to either see below or head over to facebook.com/theblackdahliamurderofficial for all tour dates.
Trevor Strnad (vocals) states: “We are beyond excited to bring this mighty line-up to your Canadian eardrums…what a package! We’ve combined the grinding holocaust of the reunited Maruta, the sheer rage of hardcore’s hellions Harm’s Way, the thrashing maelstrom that is Iron Reagan and of course yours truly. No venue shall be left standing in our wake! We’ll be playing lots of new tastiness from Abysmal for you, as well as the classics, so bring your friends and get ready to bang your heads off. I am looking forward to drinking a Pils, eating some Poutine and raging out with my friends to the great white north. Fuckin’ eh!”
Abysmal is a vicious slab of unrelenting aggression showcases TBDM at their very finest with a meticulous, pin-point precise rhythmic assault mixed with ferocious speed and dynamic hooks. The band also re-enlisted the services of renowned producer Mark Lewis (Cannibal Corpse, Whitechapel) and former bass player Ryan Williams, who also produced Everblack, with the sole intent to get away from the overt sonic sterility affecting far too many contemporary metal albums.
The world’s first look into Abysmal is via the track, “Vlad, Son of The Dragon“, which is streaming now in its entirety at metalblade.com/tbdm.
