THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER

Release Year: 2013
Artist Origin: USA
Style: harmonious aggressive thrash death metal

with all the accolades for previous achievements of Dahlia still in full force, their sixth album showcases the five-piece monster at their darkest and heaviest of extreme metal specter, perfectly reflected via significantly downtuned sound and sullen artwork of the whole package, painting cinematic images that could easily end up on some modern horror flick - ok, that Goat of Departure video clearly shows they need a smarter director vision in there, but in general it has that Tales from The Crypt potential; in a way the atmosphere these guys manage to invoke sort of reminds what notorious Italians Sadist do with their recent albums, just that TBDM more often revel in pure thrashing feasts, dropping not an inch of intensity level
