Black Dahlia Murder

A blog posted over at Invisible Oranges this week has us asking this question: Is it possible to love a band but hate their fans? Cosmo Lee wonders in the column if there's some sense of self-loathing involved in hating fans of a band you dig...

The Black Dahlia Murder's Trevor Strnad admits it. He's a dork when it comes to old school Nintendo games and old school death metal. During a recent chat with Noisecreep, just days before the band were to embark on this year's RockStar Energy Mayhem Festival with Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Job for a Cowboy, and more, Strnad was packing his bags, and told us one essential tour item for him is his

On September 15, The Black Dahlia Murder will return with 'Deflorate,' the Michigan death metallers' fourth studio LP and its first with new guitarist Ryan Knight, who replaced John Kempainen. Recorded at producer Jason Suecof's Audio Hammer Studios, frontman Trevor Strnad says the album marks a return to the sound of the band's 2003 debut, 'Unhallowed...

Frontman Trevor Strnad says his band, The Black Dahlia Murder, have stuff planned through 2010, some of which he can't freely discuss. But, after spending the summer on the RockStar Energy Mayhem Tour ("I'm pumped to see Slayer every day," he exclaims), the Black Dahlia Murder will head out with Children of Bodom and Skeletonwitch, for a tour that gets underway September 18 in Providence

Can you believe its already July? It doesn't feel like July at all. Perhaps that's because we've only had three summer-esque days here in New York since late March. And today, of course, we kick off the month with more clouds. We're hoping the sun breaks through at some point, even though we'll be stuck indoors all day, bringing you all the latest metal news...

Yesterday afternoon, the Noisecreep office was graced by the presence of Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott, who is a bona fide riot. He's also crazy tall, which we never knew before. Def Lep's tour with Cheap Trick and Poison kicked off this week, and tomorrow in Hamburg, New York, the band will be honored by city officials...

Some days, White Noise is something of a hodgepodge of metal news, covering acts from the 1980s through the 1990s and into this current decade. Other days, its sort of like an Ozzfest lineup; rife with big names everyone knows and/or heavy metal newcomers with really long, really confusing names...

Another week is in the books, people, and the summer's just getting started (although it feels like Seattle in December here in New York City lately; what gives, Ma Nature?) This month, some of the summer's biggest tours will be kicking off, and we're psyched about that...

Jason Suecof has been the "It" producer for a handful of years, having manned the boards for Trivium, All That Remains and God Forbid, to name a precious few. Suecof, whose base of operations is in Florida, gave Noisecreep the rundown on what's he's doing, how he chooses bands and life from a sitting down perspective, since he's been wheelchair-bound (and has an excellent sense of humor
