The Black Dahlia Murder are almost done crisscrossing North America amidst a monster North American tour aptly titled \u201cSpring Fling.\u201d Promoting their recent album, 2024\u2019s Servitude, while also honoring the band\u2019s 25th anniversary, the fellas in The Black Dahlia Murder have crafted one of the most mouth-watering setlists ever conjured. Playing new gems like \u201cMammoth\u2019s Hand\u201d and \u201cAftermath\u201d while going deep into their archives and unleashing a solid chunk of classics from 2005\u2019s Miasma and 2007\u2019s Nocturnal.<\/p>\n
The metalcore titans in The Acacia Strain were decimating The House of Blues as we arrived. Members of the Los Angeles and Orange County hardcore scenes came out in droves to show their support and kept the energy level inside the venue ludicrously high for the evening\u2019s headliners. Once the night-bringers themselves, The Black Dahlia Murder, hit the stage, all bets were off. The crowd, a healthy mix of young metal fanatics on the floor and seasoned veterans packed in like sardines across the cavernous House of Blues walkways, all began a long and entertaining night of ritualistic fist pumping, muscle flexing, and joyfully screaming aloud.<\/p>\n
The Black Dahlia Murder are easily one of the tightest live bands in all of extreme metal. They sound so much like their albums in concert that one might forgive a newbie for thinking they might employ backing tracks for guitars and drums. No, the band are just that good and incredibly locked in, folks. Vocalist\/ringleader Brian Eschbach has grown ever more comfortable in his position as frontman over the last few tours. After spending two decades on the side of the stage playing rhythm guitar, Eschbach now roams freely while screaming into his mic and interacting with fans.<\/p>\n
This audience inside The House of Blues was one of the most excited batches of Black Dahlia Murder fans we\u2019ve seen in some time. A killer tour package with your favorite band playing your favorite rare classics [\u201cWarborn\u201d followed by \u201cNocturnal\u201d straight into \u201cMiasma\u201d is jaw-dropping stuff!] might have been a factor in their fans\u2019 ravenous behavior. We\u2019ll just have to wait for the next Black Dahlia Murder show here in Southern California and see if the frenzied streak continues.<\/p>\n
