Servitude is the upcoming tenth studio album by American melodic death metal band the Black Dahlia Murder. It is set to release on September 27, 2024, through Metal Blade Records.[3] It will be the band's first album after the death of former lead vocalist Trevor Strnad, with Brian Eschbach taking over vocals. It also features the return of the band's former guitarist Ryan Knight, and will be the band's first album since Abysmal to feature him. The album includes the singles "Aftermath" and "Mammoth's Hand".
Background
On June 13, 2024, the Black Dahlia Murder announced Servitude with the release of its lead single, "Aftermath".[4] Eschbach spoke about the soundscape of the album: "We wanted that very aggressive Black Dahlia melodic death metal feel coming right at you. Lyrically, it's about a meteor that fucks up the whole planet, but there's still people living."[5][6]
On August 6, the second single from the album, "Mammoth's Hand", was released. An animated music video for the single premiered later that day.[7][8]
