The Black Dahlia Murder

Does anyone like this band?i recently got into them.

Has anyone seen them live if you have what are they like?

Is their any other bands like TBDM you can recommend?

[Steerpike]

Uh... I appreciate your enthusiasm, but two things.

First off, I can't understand what you're typing. It looks like you're drunk. Could you please clean that up?

Second, you should probably go into a little more detail about the band if you want more people to participate in this thread.

It's possible he's from a foreign country.

[Doctor Night]

There is an exact same thread in the Punk Forum.

[Steerpike]

It's possible he's from a foreign country.

I'll concede that's possible. But if this is the case and he needs help with his English, he can just ask.

EDIT: Apparently, he's from the UK. If you live in a predominantly English-speaking country, you should be at least moderately articulate in the language. Kind of hard to avoid.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

yeah they told him to come in here instead of in the punk forum. ive listened to one song by them and i thought it was awesome but i dont of any bands like that to recommend to u

[Steerpike]

NO ONE CARES AND STOP POSTING GAY STUFF



By the way WENDy's SUPPORTS GAY BASHING :<

And yet... no one supports you. Go back to your corner and cut yourself some more, emo kid.

[The Feeding]

BDM kick ***, I missed them live when they came to Iowa City, but Between The Buried And Me, Glass Casket sound kinda like them

[I'm Charming]

I love Miasma and Unhollowed is great as well.

Very brutal stuff.

[zerosk8er1988]

I love this band. I saw them with Between The Buried And Me, Cephalic Carnage, and Into the Moat last year. They were awesome and put on an amazing show. I'm going to see them again in March with Agony Scene/Throwdown/Red Chord. I really don't like those other bands, but BDM's live show is incredible. Definitely worth seeing live.

[XtuZ]

I love Unhallowed. Probly one of my favorite albums of all time. Im not that big on Miasma. I find it didn't have as many metal elements as Unhallowed and seemed more generic sounding IMO. There demo cd "What a horrible night to have a curse" wasnt too bad either. They are a great live band. I saw them when they were opening up for Cannibal Corpse a few years ago before they were known and they played through all of Unhallowed flawlessly. They even played there whole set in the middle of the pit. It was great.

[GenuineImitation]

I only have Miasma and its really good. Much better than I expected it to be.

[UpperDecker]

I have Miamsa, i hardly listen to it but its good stuff. I think they're kinda a one dimensional band (like lamb of god) but i still like them (as i still like lamb of god).

[Katana]

I like Unhallowed more than Miasma, but they're both awesome. When they play live they sound just like on the album.

[devildriver421]

Oh man, I ****in love this band. My entire band is really into them. I like Unhallowed better, but Miasma still kicks ***.


They were sick live, I saw them with Unearth(alright) and Remembering Never(eh). and like Katana said, sounds just like the cd. If you like them, listen to Through the Eyes of the Dead and Suicide Silence.

[I'm Charming]

I'm learning a A Vulgar Picture...

Anyone know the tuning it's meant to be in? What TBDM plays in?

I'm playing it in Drop D (DADGBE)
It sounds pretty good.

[XtuZ]

Black Dahlia tuned to C#F#BEG#C# for Unhallowed. I don't know about Miasma though

[I'm Charming]

Black Dahlia tuned to C#F#BEG#C# for Unhallowed. I don't know about Miasma though


k.. Open C, I guess.

It sounds good in Drop D.

I can't really switch tunings for every song though. I have to adapt some stuff slighty....

If I did... I'd like tuning to D standard.. to play Bodom... Standard to play Opeth... E flat to play Slayer.... etc..

[Sleepy]

CGCF on bass, that's all I know.

TDBM is a good band, I suppose. They have a somewhat different sound, considering that their music could definitely be classified under Death Metal.

I prefer their more melodic material to the brutal, my favorites being Dave Goes to Hollywood and Elder Misanthropy.

I play Contagion in dropped C it sounds pretty good to me.

one complaint about 'em they gallop to much and songs are too short. Miasma seemed rushed.
Unhallowed>Miasma

[Stringbreaker]

I like them even though every song pretty much sounds the same, every song I have heard has been in the same key and the same basic motif. I still like them nontheless they are great.

[Smellysocks]

hell yeah, BDM is my favorite band. Oh and unhallowed is played in drop C, not C#.. same thing with miasma. their songs are so fun to play. i can play closed casket requiem, funeral thirst, cantagion, elder misanthropy, unhallowed, and the beggining of a vulgar picture.

i think unhallowed is better than miasma. miasma felt kinda rushed. the voice and guitar on unhallowed is way better too. they both still are good albums.
and yeah, between the buried and me, through the eyes of the dead, dying fetus, Job for a Cowboy(check them out on myspace), sound like them a little.

Wow I am suprised you have heard of Job For A Cowboy like only me and one of my friends have heard of them.

[Kwash2]

And yet... no one supports you. Go back to your corner and cut yourself some more, emo kid.
I personally have never met an emo kid who is as depressed as they are all painted out to be. Honestly. I play in a ****ing metalcore (and yes, I know what actual metalcore is, http://www.purevolume.com/theheartless) and I've met like 40 billion scene kids, and very few of them are actually depressed, they are mostly just fun-loving energetic guys/girls.

But the girls are total cunts sometimes.

[Kwash2]

Wow I am suprised you have heard of Job For A Cowboy like only me and one of my friends have heard of them.
O_O

I've been talking about this band on here for like, ****ing ever. I just got my copy of DOOM in the mail.

Btw, buy DOOM.

WHOOPS ***.

Actually, C standard.

yeah, job for a cowboy is awesome. so is The Taste of Blood. go check them out on myspace.http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=74082

[Kwash2]

Damn, the taste of blood AND job for a cowboy mentioned in one thread? I better get these ones out of my system too:

Dude, I love Job For a Cowboy. They live here, and I'm friends with the guitar player.

[devildriver421]

It sounds pretty good.

drop c works, thats what I play in, so I just use that for when I play their songs. with my guitar, if I go really any lower tuning, it buzzes.

[OnTheySlay]

I love Unhallowed. Probly one of my favorite albums of all time. Im not that big on Miasma. Their demo cd "What a horrible night to have a curse" wasnt too bad either.




123



Also, What a Horrible Night to have a Curse sounds like old Dark Tranquility/In Flames, and is really cool.

[I'm Charming]

I like Drop D and it sounds good in that.

:chug:


In the end, if it sounds good... Don't make a huge deal. You'll never play it "just like the band". I can't stand people who want to get it down to which fingers "Alexi uses".

Sounds good to you =good.

[36Dritzlfists]

Anyone gonna check out the BDM and Throwdown tour next month. The crowd and pits will be insane, unfortunetly lots of hardcore dancers will be in full effect, but I enjoy watching them as long as they dont hit me.

haha I just hit them back. Clock em, they're just fags who conditioned their hair five times.
They aren't to be scared of. ha.

If I could stand the other bands, I'd go.

I love TBDM but I hate throwdown and the opening acts.

[4yearpro?]

bdm are very cool but they only come here on weekdays which limit my chances of seeing them, their last album, miasma is completely different from all their other stuff that sounded more metalcore, i can play funeral thirst, a vulgar picture, and the solo in miasma. drummer is so insane, trevor has awesome vocals and guitarist are very cool
just an awesome band and i would like to see them,

[Smellysocks]

does anyone know what amp their guitarist uses? i already know that they use esp guitars.

[Arucard]

I believe they use Krank Kranksteins my friend.

And yes, these guys kick SO much arse. At first i was like 'oh no, an American Metal band pretending to be Death' but omg. This is brutal stuff. Hyper blasts, brilliant vocals and insane Death influenced guitar solos! I love Misama, and their myspace makes me piss.

Sounds like : 'Some emo fags trying to play Death Metal.'

[4yearpro?]

yep they use krank kranksteins according to the back of the guitar one magazine

[Smellysocks]

sweet, i was jsut thinking about getting one of those too, :)

[Smellysocks]

Sounds like : 'Some emo fags trying to play Death Metal.'

yeah, haha. that always makes me laugh. try reading some interviews with trevor(singer). funny guy.

http://www.uraniummusic.com/interviews/interview.php?id=74 heres a good interview

[xmurderoticax]

I love the black dahlia murder, actually, I'm wearing their shirt AND listening to them right now ironicly. I'm in love with Miasma, Unhollowed is pretty sweet too, it gets kind of monotonus however. The older ep's are good as well. I saw them live at last years Ozzfest, they put on a good show, very energetic. Their singer I believe is an English professor, that's why their lyrics are so well crafted. I'm going to be seeing them with Throwdown, The Agony Scene, and The Red Chord in March, a day after Shadows Fall and Still Remains. I'm going to be so sore that week.

[Smellysocks]

are you serious. trevor is an english professor? lmao


oh man, those two days are gonna be so amazing for you. lucky..

[4yearpro?]

nice interview

[devildriver421]

They use krank now, but used to use Triple Rectos

[Crysiss]

it seems most of the people that used mesa switched to krank

[Bat_Country]

I'm seeing them on thurssay :D
A really great, brutal band. I can't wait.

[vocman]

I really like the 'paint it black' cover they did, but then I noticed it was on an EP, so I'm never going to find that in the stores (Belgium sucks). The only album I found was Miasma, so I bought that one. It is pretty good, although most of the songs kinda sound the same. The first few listens the album sounded like one long song, but that doesn't matter, it was a good song :)

[blackout]

I like Drop D and it sounds good in that.

:chug:

Well it's literally impossible to hit the notes needed to play the song correctly in drop d, seeing as it was recorded in C standard and uses a lot of low notes that can't be reached in drop d. Check out www.metaltabs.com, they have the proper tab for it :thumb:

I think unhallowed was done in drop c, but I'm not sure. It makes sense to play it in that tuning, everything works, but It looks like they're playing in C standard in the videos.

TBDM are my favourite band, I should be seeing them tonight, but unfortunately I can't make it which has pissed me right off. I can't believe how many people prefer unhallowed over miasma, I really can't see any aspect of it thats better than the latest album, although i love them both. On miasma the guitars and drums are tighter, more complex and less generic, and the guitar solos are a lot better. Trevors voice has improved ten fold compared to unhallowed, and the tone is undeniably better than before.

Speaking of tone, both albums were recorded with mesa triple rectifiers, they didn't start using kranks til a couple of tours after miasma came out.

I spent saturday morning working out miscarriage, so maybe i'll get around to writing it out sooner or later. great fun to play.

[Squirrel]

Love them, seeing them live tomorrow night :)

[blackout]

You lucky bastard....

Sup lucky bastard? nm

[Squirrel]

yer nm u

[big80smullet]

I love unhallowed its probably my favourite album right now. i havent heard much of miasma though. Elder Misanthropy, Closed Casket Requiem and Apex are my favourite songs. The lyrics are absolutely awesome.

[Arucard]

Vice Campaign is so the best song they did.

[I'm Charming]

Vice Campaign is so the best song they did.

It's good but Spite Suicide is better. So is Novelty Cross.

[Smellysocks]

my favorites.


miasma: A Vulgar Picture, spite suicide, flies, im charming

Unhallowed: closed casket requiem, unhallowed/funeral thirst, apex, elder misanthropy, cantagion. and thy horror cosmic

What a horrible night to have have a curse: this aint no ****in love song(i love that name).

others: paint it black, closed casket requiem, the blackest incarnation.

[Squirrel]

Saw them last night, absolutely amazing.

I met Trevor before they played, he chatted with me, asked my name, introduced himself etc. I got a picture of me and him :)

Their set was class and spot on, afterwards i met all of them, chatted to the guitarists and Trevor again and got my pic taken with all of them.

I got a setlist which was awesome, then they all signed it too :D

Me and Trevor did some shots at the bar, then the other guys came over and I hung out a bit. John said I was wearing an awesome tshirt :cool:


They needed a floor to crash on and they asked if there was anywhere they could say, when i got the guts to offer my kitchen floor, theyd already got a place to stay.

I got Brians earplugs and i also met and chatted with the support, Deadsoil.

The singer said I look like Burton C. Bell. He was an awesome guy, good guy to talk to.


Then they all had to leave and I went home.

[Arucard]

Sounds awesome, wish i could see them.

:(

[nowitzki]

Wow, thats cool. :lol: asking for a place to crash, the luxuries of being a rock star.

[Smellysocks]

thats ****en awesome. i wish i could go to one of their concerts and chat with them.

[Squirrel]

I'll try get the pics up when I go to pick them up on Saturday morning.

[Crysiss]

I'll try get the pics up when I go to pick them up on Saturday morning.

Pick up BDM!:eek:

[Squirrel]

Erm, k.

[big80smullet]

Yes it is. What's wrong with it?

There is nothing wrong with it. ive seen them live 4 times. I love them.

Ayway i finally bought Miasma. I think unhallowed is better but miasma is still awesome. my favourite songs are A vulgar picture (awesome lyrics) and Miscarriage.

[Squirrel]

I got the pictures, they're absolutely amazing :)


My current favorites off Miasma are - Miasma, Vice Campaign/Dave Goes to Hollywood, Flies and I'm Charming.

[Arucard]

Vice Campaign is the shiz, i want to find a tab for it but cant :(

The slides are just orgasmic in the bridge bit.

[Squirrel]

The intro is o-so-cool :)

[blackout]

I like the way the riff is like 'Omg its Slaughter Of The Sou.... oh wait they changed it abit its ok' haha.

And please post that tab!

[Esp Griffyn]

They use krank now, but used to use Triple Rectos

I was with Squirrel at the gig last Tuesday, and they used a Mesa and a Peavey 5150.

[Kurrpt]

anyone have any samples i can check out :naughty:





I havent heard this band yet

[Squirrel]

Most likely borrowed off Deadsoil, BDM are big Krank endorsees atm.


I could uplaod but i cba.

[Kurrpt]

cba = can't be arsed?





its weird hearing an american say that. My boy was just talking to me like that the other day

[Squirrel]

i c.

[Kurrpt]

sweet bro, thanks

[Squirrel]

i'd have put vice campaign and miasma on there if id made the site :p

[Crysiss]

The person that made it probably doesn't know what the fans like.

[xmurderoticax]

I don't think they did a paint it black cover. You were probably fooled and were told that it was the Black Dahlia Murder but actually, it was probably the cover that the Agony Scene did.

[Squirrel]

No, they covered it - it's on their 'A Cold Blooded Epitaph' CD.

[devildriver421]

I don't think they did a paint it black cover. You were probably fooled and were told that it was the Black Dahlia Murder but actually, it was probably the cover that the Agony Scene did.

No, they did it too.

[Crysiss]

The Paint It Black cover BDM did is so horrificly awesome.

/looks at pic of agony scene

Metrosexuals huh, Real tight pants. Ive still yet to check the band out

[Black Santa]

Does anyone here live in Michigan and going to one of the two concerts they are having on the 24th or 25th

[big80smullet]

i wish
