THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Prepares To Go Down Under

October 26, 2006

Fresh off the very successful HATEBREED tour where THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER was direct support and an incredible set at Loud Park festival in Japan where the band played in front of over 7,000 kids, BDM are now preparing to take their ferocious live set Down Under to promote their sophomore album "Miasma" to their Aussie fans. Once the band returns from Australia they will head home to continue working on their third full-length release which will be out the summer of 2007.

In other news, the band's final video for the "Miasma" album, "Statutory Ape", just made its MTV2 debut on Saturday, Oct. 21 on "Headbanger's Ball".

Here's what vocalist extraordinaire Trevor Strnad had to say about the tour with HATEBREED, the band's set in Japan, and the premier of their latest video "Statutory Ape":

"The HATEBREED tour was indeed a lot of fun and was a brutal package. All five of the bands were very cool guys and we had an absolute blast touring with them… Although Jamey Jasta almost poisoned Brian and I with his heavy-handed bar tending skills. Oh, and we love Gary Holt in a very platonic metal-man way.

"As for our stop in Japan, it was an honor to be playing at the biggest metal festival of all time in Japan. The reaction was something that we never could have expected. The energy of the crowd was unbelievable and it was great to feel so much metal in the air in one place. We can’t wait to come back to Japan and follow up this successful performance.

"Keep your eyes peeled for the 'Statutory Ape' video that we shot this summer on the Sounds of the Underground tour. You can see how much fun we had on the tour as well as our honorary mascot The Ape."
