We also recently added shirts from Fleshgod Apocalypse, Carpathian Forest and Behemoth with more on the way so keep checking back.
The infamous folks at Breakfast At Sulimay’s have reviewed The Black Dahlia Murder song “A Shrine To Madness!” For those unfamiliar, “Breakfast” is a youtube series focusing on three elderly music reviewers who check out popular bands and give their honest, unbridled opinion. The results are often introspective and hilarious; it also give viewers a different perspective from the standard critic. This one is no exception. Fast forward to the 4:40 mark to see the group discuss BDM and how they aren’t as good as Marduk (pronounced Murdock by one of the reviewers).
Pick up some new gear at the Black Dahlia Murder merch store.
Grind mastersBrutal Truth have unleashed a new track titled “Echo Friendly Discharge” that is currently streaming at Sick Drummer Magazine. The track rules and can be played HERE.
The song is from their new album “End Time” and will be released via Relapse Records on September 27th.

Pretty righteous! Thanks to everyone who entered and here is a message from the band:
“Holy shit!! We were totally BLOWN AWAY by how many great entries we got in this contest! Thank you guys so much!! And everyone knows that this is coming, but it is SO TRUE that I have to say it – it was really really really really hard to choose winners. In fact, it was so hard, there is a chance that even if you didn’t win one of the official prizes, you may be hearing from us about using your design for one of our shirts sometime in the future! For now, though, congratulations to the winners – you guys deserve it! Try not to get a sunburn while basking in the glory of your triumph.”
