Any band that has earned an army of devout followers through dropping eight killer full-lengths - and touring their collective ass off for eighteen years - could perhaps be forgiven for thinking they could take it easy as they wade into their ninth release. But that's just not The Black Dahlia Murder's style - the Michigan quintet continue to push themselves to new heights, creating searing melodic death metal that is aggressive, emotionally diverse that unquestionably provides a riveting listening experience.
