Full disclosure: I've heard the new album from The Black Dahlia Murder, Abysmal, and it's yet an another excellent entry into their catalogue of songs. These guys are just so great at songwriting. They offer a sense of familiarity with their albums, similar to how you always know what you're going to get with a Slayer or a Motorhead, but there is still progression. That is apparent on the lead single off the album, the relentless ripper, "Vlad, Son of the Dragon." Take a listen:
Pretty killer right?
Abysmal is out September 18th, 2015. Pre-orders available here.
