The Black Dahlia Murder Lose Two Members

posted Nov 3, 2005 at 1:46 PM by deathbringer.  (14 Comments)

As has been rumored as of late, The Black Dahlia Murder drummer Zach Gibson and bassist David Lock are no longer with the group. Black Dahlia Murder had the following to say about the move:

"Both are gone cause they couldn't actually play our material. It was sad to have to make such a decision with Dave since he's been with us for quite some time, we wish him nothing but the best in all his future endeavors."

For his part, Gibson has issued the following statement:

"Yes, the rumors are true, I am no longer the drummer for The Black Dahlia Murder. I was asked to leave the band after our last show on the BTBAM/Cephalic Carnage/Into The Moat tour 10/28/05 in Detroit, Michigan, our home...I was quitting anyways and they knew it, they just wanted to save face and beat me to the punch."

Meanwhile, Gibson has apparently rejoined his former group, Gutrot.

I saw that show on the 21st. It seemed like he played and kept up pretty good. Goes to show you being a "rock star"doesn't have job security.

Unfortunate...they were one of the few "newer" bands that seemed to have something real to offer the metal community. Hopefully their departure won't kill the chemistry of the band.

zach is a f u c k i n great drummer....after hearing what he had to say about this i have lost a lot of respect for bdm....you guys were mediocre at best before zach joined, and then you say he "couldnt play our material". Get a f***in life and get over yourselves, you are not rock stars and if all you wanna do is make money than you should have been rap artists. Brian Eishbach is a blowjob as far as anyone should be concerned. The rest of the band carries your sorry ass. I have never bad mouthed a musician before in my life, however, you just f***ed one of my favorite new bands. Nice going...maybe when trevor quits you can start a boy band and make some real money you p u s s y.

post 3 is on the money.

Of course the bassist and drummer can play the material. I've seen/heard them myself. They were spot on....though they've played only a small number of shows total.... This just sounds like someone in the band is being self righteous to me, and they're venting their anger through outrageous claims which of course makes them a childish and stupid a$$hole.
