Detroit, United States (2000 – present)
The Black Dahlia Murder formed on 2000 and some time later established themselves at the forefront of the then-burgeoning U.S. metal scene when they released their full-length Metal Blade debut Unhallowed in June 2003. The release of that critically lauded album, however, was only the beginning of an epic journey that would find this Detroit, Michigan, quintet dealing with personnel issues (founding member drummer Cory Grady was replaced by Zach Gibson) and a nonstop touring itinerary that kept them on the road for nearly two years playing with bands as diverse as The Red Chord, Arch Enemy, Napalm Death and Terror. But those experiences ultimately had a profound effect on their Metal Blade release, Miasma. “The road has been what really made Miasma what it is,” vocalist Trevor Strnad confesses. “Much of the content here is a direct result of our experience in the band.”
It is no surprise, then, that Miasma reflects the insanity of life on the road for five guys, barely over the legal drinking age, who were playing an endless string of shows across North America and Europe. “It’s quite a bit more personal lyrically, ranging from anthems of cheap sex and drug use to more classic Black Dahlia Murder horror style,” says Strnad. “I’ve tried to reinvent BDM lyrically here. It’s still dark. It’s still really evil shit.”
Strnad’s growth as a lyricist is just one of the ways the band expanded its sound on Miasma. Guitarist Brian Eschbach contributed more to the writing process while his counterpart John Kempainen wrote and played solos for every track. As a result, The Black Dahlia Murder—rounded out by bassist Dave Lock—have created an album that reflects the bonds cemented by the band’s two-year odyssey.

Deathcore is Death Metal mixed with Metalcore, not pure Hardcore, so the Hardcore influences in Deathcore bands is quite small.

Alliban: TBDM tours with a lot of metalcore and deathcore bands, so most of their fans are scene faggots who think it's metalcore. It's a shame, really. Their earlier stuff did have influences of some metalcore though.

Unhallowed is second best behind Deflorate. Everything about Deflorate made it better. The songs were much more memorable and the band still kept their brutal melodeath sound. They drifted away from the more deathcore/metalcore influenced Unhallowed, but it's still a close second.
