"Regular, everyday, peace-loving Israeli women were asked if they knew the number of children killed in Gaza." (x twitter)

What about children? "Children grow up to be Arabs"

The exact same mentality as the Nazis.

REMOVAL FROM MY BREAST, THE KILLING OAKEN STAKE. WHEN THIS CURSE IS BROKEN AND THESE YELLOWED BONES REGENERATE AGAIN

Poured my shriveled, desiccated heart into this piece inspired by one of the greatest albums about vampires ever written

On their 9th studio album Verminous (Metal Blade), The Black Dahlia Murder continue to do what they do best, show off their versatility in performance and metal subgenre. Produced by their guitarist/backup vocalist Brandon Ellis, it was released just after COVID hit last year, and tonight, they play their first tour date since the pandemic at Concord Music Hall in Chicago. The album’s title track opens with--what else--Alan Cassidy’s blast beats as Ellis and guitarist Brian Eschbach add choppy riffs and cascading solos, Trevor Strnad’s alternating icy screams and guttural growls guiding the song along. Overall, they combine technical tempo changes with the fast-paced bombast of old school British metal. The galloping guitars and drums on “Removal of the Oaken Stake” recall Iron Maiden (on the day a new IM album comes out!), while a song like “Child of Night” sports drums and Max Lavelle’s bass so quick it’s almost pure noise. And where vocal chants follow the same pattern as the guitars, as on “Sunless Empire”, there’s still roam for soaring solos. The penultimate track is a 40-second acoustic interlude, gorgeous picking combined with sounds of dripping water and squeaking rodents before the band launches into closer “Dawn of Rats”. It’s the most different song on the record, but it exemplifies the band’s ability to seamlessly combine the beautiful with the ugly.

Minneapolis prog metal band After the Burial, San Diego County deathcore band Carnifex (who we’re fans of and are, too, releasing a great new album today, Graveside Confessions via Nuclear Blast), Pennsylvania technical death metal band Rivers of Nihil, and Rochester death metal band Undeath open. Remember to bring your vax cards (or negative COVID tests; if you could have gotten the shot but didn’t, you suck) and masks!
