John Kempainen (guitar) and Ryan "Bart" Williams (bass) of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER recently spoke to Buzznet's TheReaper about life on the road and off it. And Swedish death metal, of course. Watch the three-minute clip below.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER's new album, "Nocturnal", was released on September 18, 2007 via Metal Blade Records. The follow-up to 2005's "Miasma" was recorded with Eric Rachel (who mixed "Miasma") and was mixed by Jason Suecof.
