4.0 excellent
The Black Dahlia Murder Nocturnal

3.5 great
The Black Dahlia Murder Deflorate
The fourth installment from The Black Dahlia Murder was nothing short of spectacular, even though they are less one John Kempainen. But the replacement Ryan Knight did not disappoint, the solos he brought to the table gave the band a more legato feel to the riff to solo transition and brought solos in from left field rather than a noticeable placement when John was in charge. one thing that goes unsung from this Album is Shannon Lucas' drumming, from the intro of "Christ Deformed" to the epic intro of "That Which Erodes the Most Tender of Things" his drumming was precise and superb and had a more comfortable feel than Nocturnal. the riffs havent changed much but that really insn't a problem because when you change to much of a band that a mass amount of people enjoy then they are most likely going to go down the tubes because they "sold out" Brian Eschbach's riffs dont get old but they sure can get stuck in your head which isnt necessarily a problem. The end track "I Will Return" goes along with the bands motif of having an ending song that just destroys the listeners to ash and ruble. Last but not least Trevors lyrics are unparalleled ever since the first record Trevor has delivered and delivered well as well as his vocals chopping from highs to lows at any given moment. His highs have gotten better since his first album but in turn his lows are getting lesser and lesser but not in a bad way he still makes it work. In conclusion this album is worth purchase or a solid listen through that will make you want to buy it.

3.0 good
