Official Hong Kong edition with OBI-strip

Since releasing their 2003 debut long player Unhallowed, The Black Dahlia Murder have earned a sterling reputation for consistency. With deft melodic hooks, anthemic choruses, brutal blastbeats and filthy, speed-driven, guitars, they are among extreme metal’s most enduring acts. Their innovative brand of melodic technical death metal has endeared them to hundreds of thousands of fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Verminous is the band’s first outing since 2017’s wildly successful Nightbringers, their first album with lead guitarist Brandon Ellis. The set peaked at 35 on the Top 200 in the U.S. as well as in the top 50 in Germany and Switzerland. Verminous is the band’s ninth long player. While it is instantly recognizable as The Black Dahlia Murder, it adds some progressive elements and employs some old school metal tropes in the mix that come off sounding refreshed and innovative. The Black Dahlia Murder’s superlative musicianship balances technicality, harmony, brutality, and mature sophistication on Verminous. While their style evolves somewhat here, it’s a progression so smooth and in character, it’s almost guaranteed to excite fans.
