| The Black Dahlia Murder Discography Ranking
I rarely make lists. But today, i feel like making one. TBDM is probably my favorite modern Death Metal Band (Melodic DM for you genre sticklers) This band is one of the most consistent bands in metal. I would like everyone who is interested to make their own rankings in the comments. I want to see which album is going to get the most votes as their best album. I have a feeling its going to be Ritual or Nocturnal. Let the games begin! | 7 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Miasma
This is by far my least favorite album. The only song I really like is A vulgar picture. I dont think they really found their signature sound until their next album.... Nocturnal. | 6 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Deflorate
A quality album, but again, nothing that really stands out to me other than the closer, I will return, which is arguably one of their greatest songs. Def a top 5 song. | 5 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Unhallowed
Unhallowed is a very good album considering it is their debut full length. Very melodic with a lot of catchy songs and riffs. Trevors vocals weren't very good on here though. He definitely improved a lot of over the years. Standout tracks: Apex and Funeral Thirst | 4 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Abysmal
Considering how much I enjoyed their two previous albums, and how much I was anticipating this album, it was somewhat of a dissappointment and a letdown for me. Dont get me wrong, its very solid, but theres just something about it that doesnt give me that TBDM kick. Asylum and Threat level number 3 are def standouts. | 3 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Everblack
This album had a lot to live up to After the band had just Previously released a classic album in ritual. It wasnt going to be easy either as they just lost their drummer Shannon Lucas (one of my fav drummers in metal) and their basist Bart williams. Even considering, they really surprised me with this album and came close to achieving the same quality of material on ritual, albeit just slightly less. Standout tracks: every rope a noose, on hell is where she waits for me, phantom limb masturbation. | 2 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Nocturnal
I love everything about this album. This is classic TBDM. Even the album cover is classic. (Necrolord m/) The atmosphere of the album really matches the theme they were going for here. The album cover actually describes the music through illustration. For the last 5 years I have been flip flopping between this and Ritual as which one is my favorite Dahlia album. They are both 5's but I have finally decided Ritual takes it by a hair simply going by how many great songs it has. Ritual has more.
Standout Tracks: I worship only what you bleed, what a horrible night to have a curse, deathmask divine, to a breathless oblivion, climactice degredation. | 1 | | The Black Dahlia Murder Ritual
And here it is.... Their Magum Opus. I feel like this album really has the classic, trademark TBDM sound. Everything is great about this album. Vocals, drums, riffs, solos, bass, intros.... This album has the perfect mixture of brutality and melody. I can listen to this album start to finish anythime. Stand out tracks: A shrine to madness, moonlight equilibrium, on stirring seas of salted blood, conspiring with the damned, carbonized im cruciform, the window, the den of picquerist, a grave robbers work, malenchantments of the necrosphere, blood in the ink. | |

Ritual
Miasma
Everblack
Unhallowed
Abysmal
Deflorate
hope their new lead guitarist breathes new life into the album because that last one felt a little stale | ToMMyMiL16
09.05.16 | I agree brainmelter. Especially when it was following in the footsteps of everblack and ritual. And their new lead guitarist is another former lead guitarist of arsis. | Futures
09.05.16 | 1 is 1 | betray
09.05.16 | deflorate too underrated imo | ToMMyMiL16
09.05.16 | I got it rated 3.5. Its just not as good as their more recent material. Their whole dicography is great tho. | betray
09.05.16 | top three tbdm tbh | Hawks
09.06.16 | It's really good, but def their "worst" for me. | NewBallistics
09.06.16 | Nocturnal
Unhallowed
Miasma
Deflorate
Everblack
Ritual
Abysmal, but definitely all above a 3/3.5 for me | G0atC0re
09.06.16 | Not a bad list. I rank Miasma much higher though. Don't know why some people rank it so low. It's not a bad album. | betray
09.06.16 | none of their albums are bad dude | ToMMyMiL16
09.06.16 | I made it clear that their whole discography is solid and none of their albums are even average to below average. Even tho i have Miasma ranked last, i still have it as a 3. But new ballistics, wow, our lists are like opposite aside from nocturnal. Your bottom 3 are 3 of my top 4. Its obv your more of a fan of their older material. That must mean you like their old lead guitarist better. | DungeonBoy
09.06.16 | Band is tough to rank. But yeah Ritual, that's a fun one for sure. | Hawks
09.06.16 | Yeah they all rule, none under a 3.5 for me. | G0atC0re
09.07.16 | I will return is probably their best song. |
