The Black Dahlia Murder + Naplam Death Join Forces
“The Abysmal Predator” excursion takes its name from a combination of the bands’ latest albums.
The Black Dahlia Murder released its seventh studio album, Abysmal, last September. The LP marks the last LP for lead guitarist Ryan Knight before he left the melodic death metal band in early 2016. He’s since been replaced by Brandon Ellis.
British grindcore band Naplam Death also put out a new LP last year. Apex Predator – East Meat is the band’s 15th studio album.
