THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER to release "Nocturnal"

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER to release "Nocturnal"
The often imitated yet never duplicated Detroit deathsters THE BLACK DAHILA MURDER have returned to the public eye to reclaim their rightful throne as leaders of all things extreme with their third blackened opus of thrashing melodic death metal, “Nocturnal”. "I don't think the pretenders will be able to match this one," proclaims vocalist Trevor Strnad of their scorching new offering, "It's fucking over the top. Brian (Eschbach; guitarist/songwriter) has really outdone himself this time. The kid eats lightning and shits chains."
Recorded at Trax East with Eric Rachel and mixed by Jason Seucof at Audiohammer, the band’s third full length Metal Blade release, Nocturnal, is chock full of flesh searing riffage, mind-bending guitar solos by fret-freak John Kempainen, and the disgustingly poetic gore soaked lyricism that legions of the band's manically adoring fans have been hungering for. “From the songs, to the artwork, to the sound quality itself, we could not be more pleased with the results” states vocalist Trevor Strnad. The artwork was done by Necrolord aka Kristian Wahlin.
Be sure to catch the band live on their Summer tour starting next week where they
will be unleashing some new material off “Nocturnal”.

Nocturnal track listing:
1. Everything Went Black
2. What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse
3. Virally Yours
4. I Worship Only What You Bleed
5. Nocturnal
6. Deathmask Divine
7. Of Darkness Spawned
8. Climactic Degradation
9. To a Breathless Oblivion
10. Warborn
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER is:
Brian Eschbach – Guitars/back up vocals
Trevor Strnad – Vocals
John Kempainen – Lead Guitars

IMPIOUS – new homepage up and running!
Yo muddafukkaz! New site is up and running… F I N A L L Y ! ! ! Don’t worry, the asshole who handled the whole thing is now dead and eaten. We got the hang of it now, so expect this site to be updated regularly.
So what’s up at the IMPIOUS camp you ask? First up are http://www.stonehengefestival.nl in Holland and http://www.summer-breeze.de in Germany. We also hope to tour Europe in the fall, but nothing is booked yet.
We would also like to thank everybody who came out and banged their head at our first show in the US, at the Metal Blade 25th Year Anniversary http://www.metalandhardcorefestival.com. We had a blast!!
Oh, and by the way, go pick up “Holy Murder Masquerade” if you haven’t already. That’s an order!
