The Black Dahlia Murder in Euro tour

The Black Dahlia Murder have announced a European tour for January and February next year.

The run, which kicks off with nine British Isles dates, is in support of seventh album Abysmal, launched today (September 18).

Frontman Trevor Strnad recently said of the follow-up to 2013’s Everblack: “It sees the band in a darker, faster and more melancholic place than anything we’ve done to date.”

Support will come from Benighted, with others to be confirmed.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
