The Black Dahlia Murder Premiere New Music Video For “Panic Hysteric”

The Black Dahlia Murder’s recent summer European tour served as the backdrop for their newly released "Panic Hysteric" music video, directed by Robbie Tassaro. The video comes shortly after the release of the band's new album, Servitude, which dropped this past Friday (September 27th). This album marks the Michigan-based melodic death metal group’s first release with Brian Eschbach stepping into the role of lead vocalist, following the passing of Trevor Strnad.

Eschbach shared insight into the inspiration behind the song’s lyrics, explaining:

“Lyrically, it’s a tribute to the fear and outrage that rock ‘n’ roll ignited in mid-century America. I was reading quotes from Frank Sinatra, who really didn’t like rock ‘n’ roll, and was pretty eloquent about it. I quoted him a couple of times in the song. That was a fun Sunday writing those lyrics. I’m not gonna lie — vodkas and Shirley Temples were involved.”
