THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER has unleashed their new album, Ritual, to the world. The global exclusive premiere of Ritual began on Tuesday, June 14th at music.msn.com. The full album, alongside previously released tracks Moonlight Equilibrium, Conspiring With the Damned, and Malenchanments of the Necrosphere, will be available for streaming for an entire week. The stream ends on Tuesday, June 21st, which is the day the album will be released to the masses in North America. The Black Dahlia Murder adds: “Finally, we get to reveal our labor of satanic love, Ritual! Turn out the lights, turn up the tunes, and let the night entrance you!”
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 first single off Ritual, Moonlight Equilibrium, is now live at the following location along with several pre-order options: MetalBlade.com/BDM
The Black Dahlia Murder will return to Europe on June 18th and will appear at various festivals including Hellfest, Graspop, With Full Force, Sonisphere and more. North American fans will be able to catch TBDM live when the band headlines one of the summer’s heaviest tours, the Summer Slaughter Tour, with label-mates Whitechapel and Six Feet Under in addition to Darkest Hour, Dying Fetus, and more.
