Album Review: The Black Dahlia Murder - Abysmal

Contemporary death-metal titans The Black Dahlia Murder open their seventh studio album in style with Receipt.

The punishing drums, finger-crawling guitar riffs and haunting twangs of dissonance pave the way for one of many effortless guitar solos. The short song structure means the ten-track effort will smack you to and fro between a diverse range of punishing metal ideas. A fast-paced ride that proves The Black Dahlia Murder have no plans to slow down or to sacrifice their strengths, Abysmal boasts as many mind-bending moments as catchy hooks. Just wait until you hear these live.
