A New Era, A New Hope: The Black Dahlia Murder - Servitude

It finally happened. We’ve waited four long, questionable years. In fact, what we have here is an album so highly anticipated, so in-demand, that the pre-orders were distributed days before it’s official release. Then again, there was so much riding on Servitude, the first new album by The Black Dahlia Murder in over four years. I don’t need to remind anyone reading this that it’s also the first…

I’M SORRY. NOW, TRUST ME.

[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire]

Martin Lavelle [P.S.]: Your Majesty, the Queen’s portrait sitting in the Throne Room should be ending shortly.

King George: Thank you, Martin. Say, did that letters patent pass in Parliament yet? I’d like to present it to Prince Vester as soon as we arrive at Sumpterson.

Martin Lavelle [P.S.]: I will contact the Prime Ministers office for a status update, Your Majesty.

(Indistinct chatter)

Brandon [Director]: Let’s get a few shots with you wearing your sash, Your Majesty.

Queen Rowena: I’ll need about five minutes to put it on.

Brandon [Director]: Perfect! We can reset. (to crew) Let’s take five, everyone!

Queen Rowena: I didn't know you were back.

King George: I got back after midnight. Martin said your shoot was ending and I wanted to say hi before you left for your next engagement. This looks like a large production. My portrait sittings only consist of me and, at max, two others.

Queen Rowena: There’s wardrobe, makeup, hair, the photographers and director and even a handler of the jewels!

King George: You look absolutely beautiful, Ro! (surprised) The Pearl Sunburst tiara!

Queen Rowena: Thank you, George.

King George: My mother loaned you her favorite tiara?

Queen Rowena: In addition to the tiara, she also loaned me pieces from previous consorts!

King George: Really? The Queen Mother? Wow! Old age is softening her heart.

Queen Rowena: I’m wearing Queen Lara-Leigh’s pearls, Queen Adaline’s Ruby Teardrop earrings and her famous fan. These patthama bracelets were commissioned by Queen Lara-Leigh and are from the same Sapphire stone used to create Queen Isabella’s engagement ring, now my ring!

King George: Ro, I know I’ve neglected you the last few weeks and I apologize. You mean more to me than searching for any stone in the world. Let’s go to Sumpterson for the weekend, just us!

Queen Rowena: (gasps) Really? George, I...

King George: Before you say no, Martin already checked and your schedule will allow for a weekend break. Plus, I’m the King! (laughs)

Queen Rowena: I’d love to!

King George: “Great, I’ll have Martin make the arrangements.”

Queen Rowena: (reluctant) I’m trusting you, George.

King George: This will be a memorable trip, Ro! Trust me. A trip of surprises!

Queen Rowena: It appears my schedule for the weekend must be cleared. Can you make that happen?

Lady Delores [P.S.]: I don't think cancelling engagements would be such a good idea, Your Majesty. We are still rebuilding your image and you have quite a few engagements to attend tomorrow.

Queen Rowena: Whatever you need to do, Delores. If I can't leave with George tomorrow, I will leave the day after.

Lady Delores [P.S.]: Yes, Your Majesty.

King George: Proceed with travel to Sumpterson. I’d like the Queen and I to leave tomorrow.

Martin Lavelle [P.S.]: Will this be for the weekend, as previously noted?

King George: Yes, Martin. We will just be gone for the weekend. I would thoroughly like to shoot some hares while I'm there. Secure a group to join me.

Martin Lavelle [P.S.]: Yes, Your Majesty.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER - Servitude

En 2022 le décès de Trevor Strnad, leader et cofondateur a laissé en suspens l'essence du groupe The Black Dahlia Murder, perpétuer l'esprit charismatique de leur frère décédé a amorcé l’impulsion d’y faire face.

Après une période de profond deuil et de profonde introspection, Brian Eschbach est passé de la guitare au chant (2001–2022, mettant de côté son identité de guitariste live pour la survie du groupe. L'ancien membre de TBDM, Ryan Knight, est revenu au bercail pour prendre la place d'Eschbach à la guitare. La nouvelle formation a fait ses débuts dans la ville natale de TBDM, Détroit, fin octobre 2022 pour un spectacle hommage à Strnad. Avec toujours Brandon Ellis – guitare solo, chœurs (depuis 2016) et Max Lavelle – basse et Alan Cassidy – batterie (depuis 2012)

Le scepticisme est balayé dès l’entame death metal mélo agressive avec des portées progressives, seul le chant en deçà de celui de Trevor. Ce dixième album est force de guérison, avec des teintes nocturnes sur ses lèvres, propageant des exaltations soniques succédant à des ulcères de l'abîme.

Eschbach a annoncé : « Honnêtement, écrire les paroles de cet album a été plus facile pour moi que d’écrire la musique des trois chansons pour lesquelles j’ai écrit la musique. Je choisissais un sujet, je faisais des recherches et je m’y plongeais. Même si ce n’est pas quelque chose que je n’avais jamais fait auparavant, cela s’est fait naturellement dès que j’ai commencé. »

Pour le titre « Aftermath » issu d’un scénario cannibale post-apocalyptique, il a déclaré : « Nous voulions que ce soit celui-là qui soit entendu en premier parce que c'est l'une des chansons les plus rapides de l'album, si ce n'est la plus rapide », explique Eschbach. « Nous voulions que ce soit cette sensation de Black Dahlia qui vous tombe dessus. Au niveau des paroles, il s'agit d'une météorite qui fout en l'air la planète entière, mais il y a encore des gens en vie. Un peu comme The Walking Dead , mais sans zombies, donc on voit bien comment les gens y font face. Et à la fin, ils se dévorent entre eux. »

Pour le titre ‘’Mammoth's Hand’’ inspiré d'une scène de The Beastmaster , l'épopée de Don Coscarelli de 1982. « Nous aimons généralement donner une idée du type de diversité qui sera présente sur l'album avec les deux premiers morceaux que nous sortons », explique Eschbach. « Ryan Knight a écrit la musique pour cet album, et le rythme lent m'a fait penser à ces guerriers barbares chevauchant des mammouths dans la neige ou à cette scène de The Beastmaster où la horde Jun prend le village. »

Eschbach explique à propos du titre « Panic Hysteria » : ‘’Je lisais des citations de Frank Sinatra, qui n’aimait vraiment pas le rock’n’roll, et qui en parlait avec beaucoup d’éloquence. Je l’ai cité plusieurs fois dans la chanson. C’était un dimanche amusant d’écrire ces paroles. Je ne vais pas mentir : il y avait de la vodka et du Shirley Temples.’’

Les guitares, la basse et le chant ont été enregistrés au home-studio d'Ellis dans le New Jersey. La batterie a été enregistrée par Mark Lewis à Nashville, où Ellis et Lewis ont également mixé l'album. L’opus a été masterisé par Ted Jensen.

« Dans la continuité de l’héritage de Trevor, « Servitude » marque bien sûr le début d’une nouvelle ère pour The Black Dahlia Murder », déclare Ellis. « Avec Brian qui reprend désormais le flambeau, sa personnalité de parolier et de chanteur inspiré brille de mille feux – il sait très bien ce dont la musique a besoin. Le retour de Ryan Knight au sein du groupe ajoute un troisième guitariste familier à l’équipe de compositeurs, tout en permettant un élément de guitare solo double que le groupe n’avait jamais eu auparavant. Tout cela ouvre de nouveaux terrains créatifs. Là où certaines portes se sont fermées, de nouvelles portes se sont ouvertes. »

The Black Dahlia Murder Live Preview: 9/3, Concord Music Hall, Chicago

Photo by David E. Jackson

BY JORDAN MAINZER

On their 9th studio album Verminous (Metal Blade), The Black Dahlia Murder continue to do what they do best, show off their versatility in performance and metal subgenre. Produced by their guitarist/backup vocalist Brandon Ellis, it was released just after COVID hit last year, and tonight, they play their first tour date since the pandemic at Concord Music Hall in Chicago. The album’s title track opens with--what else--Alan Cassidy’s blast beats as Ellis and guitarist Brian Eschbach add choppy riffs and cascading solos, Trevor Strnad’s alternating icy screams and guttural growls guiding the song along. Overall, they combine technical tempo changes with the fast-paced bombast of old school British metal. The galloping guitars and drums on “Removal of the Oaken Stake” recall Iron Maiden (on the day a new IM album comes out!), while a song like “Child of Night” sports drums and Max Lavelle’s bass so quick it’s almost pure noise. And where vocal chants follow the same pattern as the guitars, as on “Sunless Empire”, there’s still roam for soaring solos. The penultimate track is a 40-second acoustic interlude, gorgeous picking combined with sounds of dripping water and squeaking rodents before the band launches into closer “Dawn of Rats”. It’s the most different song on the record, but it exemplifies the band’s ability to seamlessly combine the beautiful with the ugly.

Minneapolis prog metal band After the Burial, San Diego County deathcore band Carnifex (who we’re fans of and are, too, releasing a great new album today, Graveside Confessions via Nuclear Blast), Pennsylvania technical death metal band Rivers of Nihil, and Rochester death metal band Undeath open. Remember to bring your vax cards (or negative COVID tests; if you could have gotten the shot but didn’t, you suck) and masks!

The Black Dahlia Murder - Mammoth's Hand

I didn’t even have to look for this new track from The Black Dahlia Murder, since one of my Instagram followers chose to send it to me early Tuesday morning. “Mammoth’s Hand” is the second single off of Servitude, the group’s first album in over four years and their first without the late Trevor Strnad. And as you can see above, it even has a fucking sick animated video to accompany it. So, let’s…

Despite how bleak the current affairs of humanity are, it is always fun to pontificate how worse those who come after us will have it. The same struggles we face now amplified by 100 combined with the worries the future can bring. One comic took a darkly humorous look at current society in a future setting and made a satirical critique that remembered to back up its unique world with great action…
