Adding to the onslaught of Unearth comes The Black Dahlia Murder. Still riding high on their rabidly-received fourth studio album ‘Deflorate’, following their pitch-black cacophony of 2007’s ‘Nocturnal, The Black Dahlia Murder have cemented their place as one of metal’s most outstanding underground outfits at the peak of its unmitigated musical brutality. Since forming in 2000, the Black Dahlia death machine has been perfecting their live show with relentless touring around the world.


Whether a fan of either of these powerhouses, an enthusiast of Metal and heavy music, or just in the market for a phenomenal show, this is one tour to mark on your calendars.
