The Black Dahlia Murder Drop New Track ‘Vlad, Son of the Dragon’

The hour has arrived! Today, we get our first morsel of The Black Dahlia Murder's next great album, Abysmal, and I'm pleased as peach to tell you that not a damn thing has changed if "Vlad, Son of the Dragon" is any indication. According to a press release, the album is every bit as brutal as we've come to expect from the band. Here's what vocalist Trevor Strnad had to say about the set:

Once the record started to come together we knew it was going to be something special. It's more urgent, it has more dynamics, it's a more emotive record, and it has a more raw, angry sound to it. It's still million mile-per-hour death metal, but when you invest so much thought and emotion into what you're creating you end up with a record that does stand out, and we can hold our heads up high and say yeah, this is our best work.

Abysmal is lined up for a September 18 release on Metal Blade Records.
