CANNIBAL CORPSE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and SUICIDE SILENCE to tour Latin America in December
The mighty Cannibal Corpse will once again be returning to Latin America! This time, they'll be bringing along label mates The Black Dahlia Murder as well as fellow underground heavyweights Suicide Silence to Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador and Venezuela in December. The tour will begin on December 3rd in Sao Paulo, Brazil and will wrap up on December 13th in Mexico City, Mexico.
South American fans are notoriously some of the most diehard metal heads in the world and the bands are excited for this tour to get started. Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher comments on the tour: "In every interview, I am asked where the sickest and best death metal fans are and it is hands down South America. I've seen kids in the front row bleeding and losing their minds, they are all crazy in the best way possible. It's hands down my favorite place to play and I can't wait to come back!" The Black Dahlia Murder vocalist Trevor Strnad adds, "We are very excited to be a part of this monstrous South American tour. It is always a pleasure to play alongside the almighty Cannibal Corpse... but in South America?! The shows are going to be absolutely insane, without a doubt. To the South American fans: prepare for an unearthly ritual!" Guitarist Brian Eschbach comments further, "We are extremely excited for another chance to support the almighty Cannibal Corpse!!! It has always been great touring with them. We especially look forward to seeing them DESTROY South America and Mexico City. iViva la Smash!"
Cannibal Corpse's latest release, the Global Evisceration DVD is available now, and includes hours of behind the scenes footage of the band as they tour Europe and contains two full live shows from the US. The Black Dahlia Murder are preparing for the June 21st release of their fifth full length album, Ritual. Clips and audio from each release can be seen and heard on http://www.metalblade.com/cannibalcorpse and http://www.metalblade.com/bdm.

The Black Dahlia Murder: Lambgoat.com premiere new single off the upcoming album "Ritual"
'Conspiring with the Damned' now live on Lambgoat. Video containing footage from the studio now live
The face-melting Detroit quintet, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER (TBDM), has just released the second single from RITUAL, the band's fifth full-length album hitting streets June 21st in North America and June 17/20 in Europe. Hosting the exclusive worldwide premiere of the track Conspiring with the Damned is none other than Lambgoat.com. Check out the track HERE and be sure to leave a comment and spread the word.
Vocalist Trevor Strnad comments; "It brings us great pleasure to reveal another track from our latest endeavor, Ritual! Conspiring with the Damned is a quick melodic track about bringing a curse into your life by messing with an Ouija board. The lyrics were informed by a series of stories told to me by a friend who claims to have been tormented and robbed of his innocence at a very young age by a demonic force he had been in contact with. This is one of my favorite tracks from the album, and I think it embodies the horrific vibe of Ritual perfectly. Bang your heads!"
Ritual is a collection of 12 tracks that see the band staying true to their sound and style while progressing in both writing and musicianship. Guitarist Ryan Knight has delivered truly searing leads that will without a doubt daze and lay waste the ears of both loyal Black Dahlia diehards and burgeoning fans alike. Music for Ritual was recorded in early 2011 in Detroit, MI with Mark Lewis (Deicide, Unearth) and the band producing with vocals and mixing taking place at Orlando, Florida based studio, Audio Hammer with Jason Suecof (BDM, Beneath the Massacre, Job for a Cowboy, All That Remains).

The Black Dahlia Murder: Artwork and Single for New Full-Length Album "Ritual" Released
Premiere of first single "Moonlight Equilibrium" & pre-order packages now live
Detroit deathsters The Black Dahlia Murder (TBDM) are pleased to unleash details of the group’s 5th full-length album, Ritual (out June 21st 2011), a collection of 12 tracks that see the band staying true to their sound and style while progressing in both writing and musicianship. Guitarist Ryan Knight has delivered truly searing leads that will without a doubt daze and lay waste the ears of both loyal Black Dahlia diehards and burgeoning fans alike. Music for Ritual was recorded in early 2011 in Detroit, MI with Mark Lewis (Deicide, Unearth) and the band producing with vocals and mixing taking place at Orlando, Florida based studio, Audio Hammer with Jason Suecof (BDM, Beneath the Massacre, Job for a Cowboy, All That Remains). The first single off Ritual, Moonlight Equilibrium, is now live at the following location along with several pre-order options: MetalBlade.com/BDM
Guitarist and founding member Brian Eschbach comments on the first single Moonlight Equilibrium: "We've been working on this album for a good while and we are very excited to finally share a preview with our fans! Moonlight Equilibrium is full of maximum overdrive melody and crushing beats that'll hopefully leave you maniacs thirsting for more. We'll be jamming this and other tasty treats for the next several months on the road. See you soon!"
Vocalist Trevor Strnad comments on the extraordinary artwork; "The visual aspects of Ritual have been brilliantly brought to life by the amazingly talented Valnoir Mortsonge (Watain/Morbid Angel/Ulver) for Metastazis in Paris, France. Valnoir was the perfect man for the job; he exceeded our expectations on all fronts and delivered a beautiful package that enriches the macabre ceremonial vibe of our musical creations. The goal was to make the artwork look like a Necronomicon or an evil spell book. The imagery on the front depicts the dualistic nature of the satanic ritual… the two halves that make it possible. On the bottom, inverted, are the senders of the ritual here on earth, in prayer. On top is Satan and his council, receiving the communicative ritual."
In terms of the direction of Ritual vocalist Trevor Strnad notes; "This is the first time we have fully realized a concept for an album. We wanted to choose something that would exemplify the very essence of the band… something that would be ‘more TBDM’ than anything we have released to this point. All of the lyrics to Ritual are bound by a common thread of black magick and the occult, the worship of darkness, and the preservation of inner strength and will."
"When we play a show, it’s like a ritual… a group catharsis. We are unified with our fans through the platform of live performance. There is a real magic there. Like the album cover represents, there are two halves required; us and you. Yes, we are an evil band. Yes we sing about Satan. But really, how I see it, our evil is for your own good! The character Satan in our music represents the freedom to think for yourself… the strength to see through the facades of the norm that is presented to us at birth, and the courage to live your own way, free of the burden of guilt and shame. That’s how it’s always been for us and this record is no different."
Strnad continues; "I think Ritual is us fully realizing our responsibility to our fans to be the best (and most horrific) The Black Dahlia Murder we can while we’re here. In a way, you could say we have come to terms, more now so than ever, with how religious the fans are about this band… hence the album’s name. This is absolutely our best record and the new benchmark that we are soon to be measured by... I have no problem saying that. There has been no prouder moment for me in this band than the Ritual we offer before you. We worked harder on this and for longer than we ever have on any release until this point. Our blood is in the ink of this album, our souls in every note. That being said, if you were to steal this record, it would literally break my fat fucking heart. I know that times are tough, hell, it’s legitimately getting harder and harder to physically get these albums into your hands. I fully realize that. Every metal band (and fan) has fallen victim to these hard times. We are here to help get the music to you, no matter where you are or how scarce extreme metal may be there. It’s time to stand up and circumvent the obstacles that threaten to befall metal… just because these assholes have made it harder to find doesn’t mean we should just pull the plug, puss out and stop supporting it. Just because we can’t walk down the street to SuperMegastore anymore and buy a Cannibal Corpse CD we’ve turned to stealing it all from the internet. Weak! One of the awesome powers of the internet is that it can allow these kick ass preorder packages to be available to the fans. That’s why we went to such extreme lengths to bring such a lush packaging to the masses… one last attempt at trying to lure you to go against the grain and actually invest your hard earned money in the CD. If you really want to have an impact on the fate of this band, that is the truest and clearest way that I can tell you how to do so. We need your support. It’s not for our pocketbooks, it’s so we can exist in this cut-throat music business. I’m not encouraging you to just buy this album, either. This is bigger than that. I am encouraging you to support all metal bands that you like and buy their albums… we need you now more than ever."
Ritual will be hitting streets in North American on June 21 with the band headlining one of the summer’s heaviest tours, the Summer Slaughter Tour, with label-matesWhitechapel and Six Feet Under in addition to Darkest Hour, Dying Fetus, and more.

About the band:
The often imitated yet never duplicated Detroit deathsters The Black Dahlia Murder (TBDM)are back with their 5th full-length album, the death metal opus Ritual, out June 21st 2011. TBDM’s previous releaseDeflorate saw the band enter the Billboard Top 200 charts at the #43 position while also hitting #5 on the Top Independent Albums chart, #4 on the Hard Music Albumschart, and #50 on the HITS Top 50 Albums chart. Deflorate also hit charts in Canada coming in at #52 on the Top 200 chart, #3 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and#6 on the Top Hard Music Albums chart. Deflorate boasted Black Dahlia’s brand of seamlessly-mixed Swedish influenced blackened thrash and pounding American death metal muscle, and saw one of metal’s most outstanding underground outfits at the forefront of unmitigated musical brutality.
In May of 2009, The Black Dahlia Murder released their firstDVD Majesty; a two-disc collection featuring the band’s assembled music videos, reams engrossing live footage, and a two-hour documentary on the band. Majesty debuted on the Billboard Top Music Video Charts at #2 in the US and #5 in Canada, and remained on the charts for its first six weeks on the shelf—a triumph for any metal band, much less one as uncompromising as TBDM.
Since the release of the group’s debut full-length Unhallowed, the Black Dahlia death machine has continued to ascend through the ranks of the extreme music scene, perfecting its craft and dominating the world over with relentless touring. In 2009,TBDM was one of the featured bands on the Hot Topic stage at The Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival alongside label-mates Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Job for a Cowboy, and Whitechapel marking one of the fests heaviest runs yet.The band headlined the 2008 Summer Slaughter tour alongside death metal heavyweights including Vader, Cryptopsy, Aborted, Kataklysm, and Psycroptic; soon after, they toured the US with Children of Bodom and Between the Buried and Me. TBDM has also toured as a part of Ozzfest, Sounds of the Underground, in addition to countless headline and support runs taking the band across the US, Canada, Europe, South America, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand touring with everyone from Cannibal Corpse to As I Lay Dying, Terror to Hate Eternal, and Unearth to Decrepit Birth. One thing TBDM has shown the world is that their brand of unrelenting melodic death metal transcends all of the different metal scenes. Bringing fans of everything from death metal to hardcore together to have a good time and throw their fists in the air all in the name of heavy and uncompromising music.
Metal Blade's The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, and Six Feet Under set to decimate crowds on the Summer Slaughter Tour!
Fans have the opportunity to vote for tour opener!
Metal Blade Records heavyweights THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, and SIX FEET UNDER are all confirmed to head out on the 5th annual Summer Slaughter Tour, presented by ESP Guitars and Indie Merch Store, which runs from July 21st through August 21st.

"After months in secrecy, it brings us great pleasure to finally reveal our headlining status for this year's Summer Slaughter festivities. It is a great honor to be asked to play with so many talented bands… we had a killer time last round and this year will be no exception. Beers bongs will be had, horns will fly, and legions of metal fans will be left devastated! Bring your daughter to the slaughter… or something." Trevor Strnad of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER
"We are excited to be a part of this year's Summer Slaughter tour. The past two years we have done big outside festival summer tours so it will be awesome to make it more intimate this summer and do a tour like Summer Slaughter. In 2008 we opened Summer Slaughter and now just 3 years later we will be back playing alongside some great bands and friends. I couldn't think of a more perfect way to return to the Summer Slaughter tour!" Alex Wade of WHITECHAPEL
"We're honored to have the opportunity to share the stage this summer with the best of the best in metal today…all that attend the 5th annual Summer Slaughter Tour will be left six feet under!" Chris Barnes of SIX FEET UNDER
Joining vocalist Chris Barnes, guitarist Steve Swanson, guitarist Rob Arnold, and drummer Kevin Talley on the Summer Slaughter Tour will be a special guest on second guitar. More information on that soon!

UNEARTH and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER To Tour Australia and Japan!
UNEARTH confirms European Tour with 36 Crazyfists!
After wrapping up their headlining run with the hugely successful Atticus Metal Tour II, UNEARTH are taking their show overseas. First, they'll conquer Japan, Australia and New Zealand with label mates, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. Once that run is over, the guys are taking what will be one of the longest flights ever to the United Kingdom for a European tour with 36 Crazyfists.
UNEARTH vocalist Trevor Phipps comments: "What better way to spend our May and June than touring Japan, Australia and New Zealand with our buds in The Black Dahlia Murder and also hitting up much of Europe and the summer festivals with our boys in 36 Crazy Fists? I don't really see a point in trying to answer that question because there isn't a better answer. If you live in any of the places I mentioned, come on out, bang your heads, hit the pit, drink some beer and do some stupid shit. This is our last go around the World until 2011, so let's make this a rager for the ages. See you soon, World!"
UNEARTH's most recent album, The March, is available everywhere now: iTunes, Amazon.com, MetalBladeStore.com. Recent MetalBlade.tv footage is available of Trevor Phips killing some time on tour playing Trials HD on Xbox Live Arcade - watch him conquer one of the levels now on MetalBlade.tv!

The Black Dahlia Murder cracks the top 50 in Billboard’s Top 200 Chart with “Deflorate”
Metal Blade Records is very proud to announce that death metal act THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER have cracked the top 50 in Billboard’s Top 200 chart coming in at #43 with the release of Deflorate. The album dropped on September 15th in North American and sold over 12,000 units in just its first week of release making it the band’s strongest first week to date.
In addition to hitting the #43 position in Billboard’s Top 200 charts, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER came in at #5 on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart, #4 on Billboard’s Top Hard Music Albums chart, and #50 on HITS Top 50 Albums chart. The carnage doesn’t stop here though as THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER’s Deflorate also landed on Canada’s Billboard Charts coming in at #52 in the Top 200 chart, #3 in the Top Independent Albums chart, and #6 in the Top Hard Music Albums chart.
“I'd like to say we are stoked that so many actually bought our new CD in a day and age when thievery is law. Thanks a lot everyone!!! We'll be on the road in North America for the next 7 weeks. Check out http://www.myspace.com/blackdahliamurder for dates” comments Brian Eschbach, guitarist and founding member of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.
Here’s what vocalist and founding member Trevor Strnad had to say; “We want to thank everyone for coming together and supporting us. We put a lot of elbow grease into making this whole package the best we possibly could; it's meant as a gift to our fans. It's an exciting time for us in the band and we're going to bust our asses to see all of you on the road and deliver the goods. Stay metal and keep supporting the scene. THANKS!”
Still riding high on waves of acclaim for their rabidly-received DVD spectacle Majesty, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER triumphantly brings you their fourth thrashing opus Deflorate. An epic expansion of the stunning pitch-black cacophony that was 2007’s Nocturnal, Deflorate boasts Black Dahlia’s brand of seamlessly-mixed Swedish influenced blackened thrash and pounding American death metal muscle, and sees one of metal’s most outstanding underground outfits at the peak of its unmitigated musical brutality.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER’s first video from the forthcoming album ‘Deflorate’ now available exclusively through Revolver Magazine!
Los Angeles, CA – September 4, 2009 – Head over to Revolver Magazine to check out the exclusive premier of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER’s first video from Deflorate for the track Necropolis, which was filmed by Robbie Tassaro (director of the band’s DVD Majesty). Deflorate, the follow up to the band’s 2007 release Nocturnal, will be released on September 15th 2009 (pre-orders still available HERE).
Vocalist Trevor Strnad comments; “We are excited to bring you the debut of our new video Necropolis by way of the kind folks at Revolver magazine. We filmed this one at the Garden Bowl in Detroit Michigan early in the morning…we want to thank everyone that was involved for getting drunk at 10am. Bear witness to the horror of 1,000 gutter balls! PARTY ON, WAYNE!”
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER are gearing up to get back out on the road and will be heading out on a direct support slot with Children of Bodom (9/18 – 10/12). Once THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER finishes up their run of dates with Bodom they will hit the road for their first headline run in concurrence with the release of Deflorate. Support on BDM’s headline run will come from Skeletonwitch, Toxic Holocaust, and Trap Them on a month long trek across the US.
Deflorate was produced by The Black Dahlia Murder, Mark Lewis (Deicide) and Jason Suecof (Beneath The Massacre, Job For A Cowboy) with mixing duties handled by Suecof. Deflorate is multifaceted death trip: beautiful, evil, and morbidly addicting. The Black Dahlia Murder’s fourth thrashing epic sees no punch pulled, no gravestone unturned, no soul uncorrupted. Guard your precious innocence all you like, it will do you no good—Deflorate is here.
If you haven’t picked up your copy of Majesty yet, the DVD is available at the Metal Blade Records online store HERE and don’t forget to catch the band live as they tour on the Rockstar Mayhem Festival this summer.

This time, we’ve taken this beast to the next level.”

The boys at Audiohammer Jason Suecof and Mark Lewis have done it again…the result is one beastly sounding album. Last but certainly not least, prepare yourselves to behold the hair raising shred of Georgia's own Ryan Durell Knight! Special thanks to Tony Koehl for the kickass job on the cover art…feast your eyes and ears on this most unholy of spectacles! The time of Defloration is upon us!
As foretold at the end of our "Majesty" DVD, the new album will come packaged with an exclusive DVD featurette, lovingly titled "Going Places". Ride along with your favorite jerks on Knight's first tour with the band, a drunken romp through our first ever shows in Sweden, Norway and Russia. Sickness!”

I won't lie and say that I had no expectations of the release; throughout its creation I had an inkling that we may be onto something. Having the second highest charting music DVD in the states and the fifth highest in Canada is more than enough proof that I was right! Thank you to the fans…this DVD is dedicated to you and you alone. You are the reason this band stays strong and keeps on going. Our most sincere thanks to our friend and director Robbie Tassaro for his undying devotion to the project. Without him, Majesty never would have happened. Stay tuned to the BDM…big things are on the horizon!”

Vocalist Trevor Strnad comments, “The Black Dahlia Murder DVD entitled Majesty is finally finished and ready to be unleashed on the world. Diehard fans will recognize that the title has been plucked from the chorus of Nocturnal. It was filmed and edited by our good friend/drinking partner Robbie Tassaro, whom we have worked with in the past for the filming of our ‘What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse’ video. Robbie is a hilarious man in himself, and probably the only person we could trust to really capture the essence of the band. Doing a DVD was something we were very apprehensive about... doing video stuff is always a risk when you can't afford the luxuries that the MTV darlings can... I mean look at the majority of death metal videos on you tube... the comments are all people laughing how cheesy they are. For Christ’s sake, look at our video for Funeral Thirst! That’s ghetto metal fabulous. All of our videos, good and bad, will be featured on the second disc of the dvd, along with a shows worth of intense live footage, captured from various locations throughout our Summer Slaughter tour and our romp in support of Children Of Bodom. The live footage is unbelievable looking... it absolutely blew me away the first time I watched. I think he really nailed the energetic atmosphere of our concerts... it makes me want to stage dive myself. The main disc is chock full with over two hours of backstage footage and will give our fans a deserved look into the BDM machine. See your favorite thrashers drink 'til they puke, eat til they puke, smoke weed 'til they puke, etc. The Pantera DVD was our model to strive for, as it’s the only metal DVD out there that warrants repeated viewings. Now that I have seen it a few times, I have had the semi painful realization that I am an alcoholic. I'll keep you posted on that as it develops.
Calling all thrashers! Behold the Majesty!”

Vocalist Trevor Strnad comments, “The Black Dahlia Murder DVD entitled Majesty is finally finished and ready to be unleashed on the world. Diehard fans will recognize that the title has been plucked from the chorus of Nocturnal. It was filmed and edited by our good friend/drinking partner Robbie Tassaro, whom we have worked with in the past for the filming of our ‘What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse’ video. Robbie is a hilarious man in himself, and probably the only person we could trust to really capture the essence of the band. Doing a DVD was something we were very apprehensive about... doing video stuff is always a risk when you can't afford the luxuries that the MTV darlings can... I mean look at the majority of death metal videos on you tube... the comments are all people laughing how cheesy they are. For Christ’s sake, look at our video for Funeral Thirst! That’s ghetto metal fabulous. All of our videos, good and bad, will be featured on the second disc of the dvd, along with a shows worth of intense live footage, captured from various locations throughout our Summer Slaughter tour and our romp in support of Children Of Bodom. The live footage is unbelievable looking... it absolutely blew me away the first time I watched. I think he really nailed the energetic atmosphere of our concerts... it makes me want to stage dive myself. The main disc is chock full with over two hours of backstage footage and will give our fans a deserved look into the BDM machine. See your favorite thrashers drink 'til they puke, eat til they puke, smoke weed 'til they puke, etc. The Pantera DVD was our model to strive for, as it’s the only metal DVD out there that warrants repeated viewings. Now that I have seen it a few times, I have had the semi painful realization that I am an alcoholic. I'll keep you posted on that as it develops.
Calling all thrashers! Behold the Majesty!”
