The Black Dahlia Murder in Hanover

The Black Dahlia Murder is an American melodic death metal band formed in Waterford, Michigan, in 2001. Fast, harmonized guitar lines and death-metal vocals shaped albums including Unhallowed, Nocturnal and Ritual, while “Funeral Thirst” and “What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse” became enduring parts of the band’s catalogue. After performing on Ozzfest in 2005, the band headlined The Summer Slaughter Tour in 2008. They returned to the tour in 2017 to play Nocturnal in full. Following vocalist Trevor Strnad’s death, the band played a memorial concert at Saint Andrew’s Hall in Detroit in 2022, where founding guitarist Brian Eschbach took over lead vocals.
