Black Dahlia Momentum

07/29/05
. (Metal Blade) The Black Dahlia Murder's sophomore effort Miasma has entered the top 200 Billboard charts for their first week of sales at 119 selling just under 10,000 copies. They also landed the number 1 position in the Billboard Heat Seekers chart, which celebrates new artists' releases. In addition The Black Dahlia Murder secured the number 5 position on the Billboard Independent chart and the number 14 position on the Billboard Top Hard Music chart. "We feel that the new record is more intense than the last on every front. I would almost say less accessible than Unhallowed. It's awesome to see that our fans are growing right along with us, musically speaking, and are accepting the record with open arms," comments vocalist Trevor Strnad. This also marks the bands first week out on Ozzfest. So far the band has played to massive numbers in Boston, Connecticut, and Philly and has also gone over extremely well with their off-dates in Montreal, Vermont, and Syracuse. "The fans have been coming out in droves, yet at the same time, we've been reaching a lot of new people, which is very important to us. We get to speak for a genre that is highly overlooked with this opportunity, and possibly save people from Nu Metal damnation."

If you don't get a chance to catch the band on Ozzfest or on one of their off-dates with It Dies Today and The Haunted the band will be back out on the road in the fall headlining a tour. [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
