(Metal Blade) Metal Blade Records is very proud to announce that death metal act The Black Dahlia Murder have cracked the top 50 in Billboard's Top 200 chart coming in at #43 with the release of Deflorate. The album dropped on September 15th in North American and sold over 12,000 units in just its first week of release making it the band's strongest first week to date.

In addition to hitting the #43 position in Billboard's Top 200 charts, The Black Dahlia MURDER came in at #5 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart, #4 on Billboard's Top Hard Music Albums chart, and #50 on HITS Top 50 Albums chart. The carnage doesn't stop here though as The Black Dahlia Murder's Deflorate also landed on Canada's Billboard Charts coming in at #52 in the Top 200 chart, #3 in the Top Independent Albums chart, and #6 in the Top Hard Music Albums chart.

"I'd like to say we are stoked that so many actually bought our new CD in a day and age when thievery is law. Thanks a lot everyone!!! We'll be on the road in North America for the next 7 weeks." comments Brian Eschbach, guitarist and founding member of The Black Dahlia Murder.

Here's what vocalist and founding member Trevor Strnad had to say; "We want to thank everyone for coming together and supporting us. We put a lot of elbow grease into making this whole package the best we possibly could; it's meant as a gift to our fans. It's an exciting time for us in the band and we're going to bust our asses to see all of you on the road and deliver the goods. Stay metal and keep supporting the scene. THANKS!"
