The Black Dahlia Murder release new song

Michigan death metal enthusiasts The Black Dahlia Murder have unveiled a new song off their forthcoming album.

Michigan death metal enthusiasts The Black Dahlia Murder have unveiled a new song off their forthcoming album.

Currently on the tail-end of their Australian tour, the band released new song, 'Vlad, Son of the Dragon' overnight. The track is lifted from the group's upcoming studio album, 'Abysmal'.

"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. People can expect a more raw and natural sounding TBDM record. It's the most real and live sounding thing we've done since our debut. It has a real energy and urgency to it. We made a conscious effort of having a more lively and dynamic sound and I feel the result is truly excellent. What I hear is my band playing as they do live when I step off the stage at soundcheck. Therefore, this is the real TBDM incarnate."

"Expect a relentless world ravaging touring cycle from us for the next couple of years. You'd better start exercising your necks now," frontman Trevor Strnad comments.

'Abysmal' is due out September 18 via Metal Blade.
