We're just a few weeks away from the release of The Black Dahlia Murder's new album, Everblack and with anticipation gaining, the band released another sliver of music today, the track “Raped in Hatred by Vines of Thorn.”
The track pays tribute to one of frontman Trevor Strnad's favorite horror movies, Evil Dead. Strnad recently commented on the movie's effect on him as a kid to Bloody-Disgusting saying:
“I remember the first time I saw Evil Dead… It was at my friend’s birthday party in 7th grade. It was recommended by the same older sister that had gotten us all into punk and heavy metal music…so we knew we were in for the real deal. The movie scared the unholy 13-year-old shit out of us… We were terrified. I remember the possessions really affecting me…the way the people would contort and writhe was disturbing. The possessed had that awful way that they sounded when they spoke and howled…pretty insane as well. The vine rape scene was intense… I love the idea of the forest coming alive…so much so that I wrote a song about it many years later.”
Here is the track as premiered by Revolver Magazine who also have the lyrics to the track:
You hear the band's previous single release, "Into The Everblack" right here. Everblack comes out June 11th. Pre-order it on Amazon.com.
