The Black Dahlia Murder are set to hit the road this fall with After The Burial, Carnifex, and Rivers of Nihil by their side. This return to the fray comes in with both guns blazing, given the lineup of bands on the bill. The announcement was one of the first that I saw this year, and was met with a great deal of skepticism from everyone. The resonating words in my head were:
“Is this real?
“How long before this tour gets cancelled?”
“I’m sure someone will come out and say that this was just speculation or a dream lineup.”
Then as time went on further, the announcement stuck and there seemed to be a growing buzz around it. Almost immediately, I stopped and said to myself:
“Are we finally seeing the light at the end of a VERY dark tunnel?”
Well, sure as shit, the tour name, dates, and lineup have stuck. This looks like it could be the end of the dead live scene. I, for one, welcome the rebirth of the live music! The Black Dahlia Murder are a standout act, amongst a long list of run-of-the-mill bands that really sound like a death metal band that was run through a copy machine.
