ServitudeThe Black Dahlia Murder12 AlbumGenre: MetalLabel: Metal BladeDescription: 'Before the tragedy no one ever thought this band was going to exist without Trevor'. That's The Black Dahlia Murder's co-founder Brian Eschbach telling it like it is. 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? '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. I'd pick a subject research it and just kinda dive in. Even though it's not something I'd really ever done before there was a natural flow to it once I started'.
