THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Confirm Split With Drummer, Bassist

November 3, 2005

Detroit, Michigan-based melodic death metallers THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER have confirmed the departures of drummer Zach Gibson and bassist David Lock. "Both are gone cause they couldn't actually play our material," the band write in an online posting. "It was sad to have to make such a decision with Dave since he's been with us for quite some time. We wish him nothing but the best in all his future endeavors. Zach, however, was a much easier call to make. He simply didin't care that he played subpar, and we decided that we could definitely not let someone who doesn't even care about the band to continue. We're sorry to all of you who are bummed, but we promise a much better BLACK DAHLIA MURDER to come."

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER's new album, "Miasma", was released in July via Metal Blade Records. The CD was recorded with Eric Rachel (NORA, ATREYU, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, BURNT BY THE SUN, EVERY TIME I DIE, GOD FORBID) and Andreas Magnusson (formerly of SCARLET) at Trax East studios in New Jersey.
