Trevor Strnad's horror-inspired lyrics persist on 'Everblack', beginning with 'In Hell Is Where She Waits for Me', a reference to the murder from which the band took for their moniker. Vocalist Trevor Strnad elaborates on the lyrical concepts: "The opening track is the first actual song we've done about the Black Dahlia. This one is for the fans... they've been asking for this to happen for a long time. The story takes place at the Elizabeth Short's rain drenched funeral, where her killer in attendance… just one of the many macabre tales woven into the fabric of 'Everblack'. Subterranean flesh-farming vampires, vine rape, Jeffery Dahmer, amputation… it's all here! With this sixth slab of sickness I tried my best to honor the band's legacy and write lyrics that will keep the legions of horror fiends perspiring with fear."
The debut single, 'Into the Everblack', is streaming now on metalblade.com/bdm and there you can also find the pre-order for the album.
'Everblack' will be released on June 7th/10th in Europe via Metal Blade Records.
