Knight will shred your ears off on nearly every track with solos that are elaborate, beautiful, and often neo-classical.Wombat Astronaut (Beyond The Burrow) Double Bass – Gary HolgateWritten By – Luke Martin It seemed like ex-Arsis guitarist Ryan Knight was still trying to find his place in the band on the past two albums, but he definitely shines here.

Undoubtedly the most pleasant surprise about this album is the soloing. Strnad certainly has a poetic way of writing lyrics and on “Everblack” they are as eloquently dark as ever. Beloved bassist Bart Williams also has departed from the band, but Max Lavelle holds his own on the album and lays down the thick, grimy tone Williams had provided for nearly a decade.īasically everything you’ve come to expect from a Black Dahlia Murder album is here: it’s crushing, melodic, fast paced, and unrelenting. While they each have different styles, Cassidy seems like a good fit. I wasn’t sure what to expect with Lucas gone (let’s face it, Lucas’ drumwork on his three albums with BDM was frightening), but Alan Cassidy steps in to take the sticks and he does not disappoint. Throughout the album, guitarists Brian Eschbach and Ryan Knight team up for a masterpiece as they fly through lightening speed riffs, brutal verse breakdown sections, and the ridiculous solos that we’ve come to expect from BDM.Īs most fans know, the band has recently lost their drummer Shannon Lucas who was a mammoth behind the kit and idolized all over the metal world for being a top-rank drummer.

The album starts out with a slow, very nontraditional intro for BDM that eventually explodes with Trevor Strnads’s unmistakeable vocals and you know you’re listening to The Black Dahlia Murder.
