THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Frontman On New Album: 'This Third One's Going To Be A Beast'

January 12, 2007

Trevor Strnad, frontman for Detroit death-metallers THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, recently spoke to MTV.com about the group's material for their third LP.

"I think this third one's going to be a beast," he said.

"Writing and looking for a drummer simultaneously has been a pain in the ass," he said of the group's search for a new man behind the skins following the split with Zach Gibson early last year. "We're trying to keep things on schedule. We have the album written, largely. We just need to get the drummer in and work everything out with him."

Strnad said BLACK DAHLIA have auditioned several hopefuls, like Nick Pierce of technical-metal outfit THE FACELESS, and that he wants the band to make a decision before the end of the month. But finding a new drummer has been tough "because we have a bad reputation now. When we lost Zach, he slandered us pretty bad" on his MySpace page, according to Strnad. Gibson wrote that the band was "nothing without me," "were nothing until I joined" and that some bandmembers didn't care "about anything accept making money."
