With the tragic passing of TBDM's frontman and co-founder Trevor Strnad in 2022, Eschbach, bassist Max Lavelle, drummer Alan Cassidy and producer\/guitarist Brandon Ellis were faced with a decision: Close the door on one of the most beloved death metal bands of the last 20 years, or carry on in their fallen brother's charismatic spirit?   \"Everyone that's in the band now is someone that Trevor and I searched for,\" Eschbach says. \"We spent so much time on the road together that everyone understands the mission statement. We don't really need to talk about it. We just need to make great music and try to make people happy playing it.\"   Fast forward to right about now:  Servitude, the band's tenth full-length, marks Eschbach's recorded debut as TBDM's lead vocalist and lyricist-and their first with Knight on guitar since 2015's Abysmal.  \"I just had to lean into it hard,\" Eschbach says of approaching Servitude in a completely new role. \"Honestly, writing the lyrics for this album was easier for me than writing the music for the three songs that I wrote music for.\"  You can hear the thrilling results on \"Aftermath,\" the ripping lead single, which envisions a post-apocalyptic cannibal scenario. \"We wanted that one to be heard first because it's one of the faster songs on the album, if not the fastest,\" Eschbach says. \"We wanted that very aggressive Black Dahlia melodic death metal feel coming right at you. Lyrically, it's about a meteor that fucks up the whole planet, but there's still people living. Kind of like The Walking Dead, but with no zombies-so you get right to how people deal with it. And by the end, they're eating each other.\"   Second single \"Mammoth's Hand\" is a slower, groove-driven song partly inspired by a scene from Don Coscarelli's 1982 swords n' sorcery epic, The Beastmaster. \"We usually like to give some idea of what kind of diversity is gonna be on the album with the first two tracks we release,\" Eschbach offers. \"Ryan Knight wrote the music for this, and the slow rhythm made me think of these barbaric warriors riding mammoths out in the snow or that scene from The Beastmaster when the Jun horde takes the village.\"   The album's third single, \"Panic Hysteria,\" is a very modern, classic TBDM waltz in the time-honored Swedish style. \"It's actually about rock n' roll,\" Eschbach explains. \"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.\"   The members of The Black Dahlia Murder know that some will be skeptical of an album without Trevor's inimitable presence. But many fans have already embraced the band's decision to move forward. \"More than pressures or expecta\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Purple LP","offer_id":50443812700491,"sku":"2211020","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50443808866635,"sku":"2210986","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50443815551307,"sku":"2211021","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50443809980747,"sku":"2211017","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Servitude_2c868b2f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727020955"},{"product_id":"bitter-drink-bitter-moon","title":"Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon","description":"\u003cp\u003eknown for their uniquely brooding sound and frequently desolate imagery, murder by death capture a familiar tone on bitter drink, bitter moon while exploring new territory and adding a further refined sophistication for an even richer, fullbodied sound. from the spare, spooky opener 'my hill', to the rough and rousing sing-along 'hard world' and the booming, aching waltz of 'ghost fields', bitter drink, bitter moon offers up a sinister sampler of new and interesting sounds. first single 'i came around' rumbles and rollicks with a hardcharging, barroom flair and is sure to incite fist-pumping sing-alongs amongst murder by death's diehard fans. features contributions from scott brackett of okkervil river and shearwater. produced by john congleton (explosions in the sky, st. vincent, black mountain).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50485241282891,"sku":"357458","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9d0e74b3-2c8c-4e32-8b00-c0b09b730487_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727597609"},{"product_id":"nightbringers-3","title":"Nightbringers","description":"\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Blade","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50523604975947,"sku":"2214067","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_c5903ce0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728020759"},{"product_id":"abysmal-4","title":"Abysmal","description":"\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Blade","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50523607400779,"sku":"2214066","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_316c9824_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728020833"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_50b99869_thumbnail_4096_477ecc83-f64a-4065-8b04-f213b7eae44d.jpg?v=1726396567","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/the-black-dahlia-murder.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
