"On the behalf of my mates in The Black Dahlia Murder, we are fucking pumped to hit the road with Skeletonwitch, Toxic Holocaust, and Trap Them.

And no european tour dates. Then again it probably isnt financially a good idea to cross the pond to play for just about 20people. Shame

The band is ok, but personally i think they need to hit the basement for a while, kinda sick of seeing them on every tour or tour i end up going to see...i know its about the bucks, but my opinion is a band needs to hibernate for a while after touring the same areas over and over......live life, and come up with some creative writting for future material...isnt hard to do any writting when your constantly touring?...im sure you can, but time off and enduring life and its experiences makes for great material

BDM is not deathcore. they are a death metal band that takes heavy influence from metalcore and melodic death metal.

You can say the band sucks if you want, I dont mind, I personally have grown to like them, even with a massive distrust of anything that has "-core" anywhere in the description. However, false accusations make noone happy except for the ignorant.
