THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER will kick off their US co-headlining trek with grind icons Napalm Death tonight in Farmington, New Mexico. Set to run through November 21st, the Abysmal Predator tour features Metal Blade labelmates ABNORMALITY as well as Pig Destroyer, Misery Index, and Power Trip as support on select dates.
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER comments: “It is our great pleasure to once again reunite with our long-time pals in Napalm Death; we really hit it off with them when we were just little tykes on our first-ever European tour so many years ago. To this day, Napalm remains a vital force in music and are some of our absolute heroes. It feels great to finally be able to announce this amazing lineup we’ve been brewing… Keeping a secret this good was killing us inside! All of the bands are absolutely killer and we couldn’t be more proud to be considered a part of this elite package. We’ll see you this Fall; bring your helmet!”

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER will be touring in support of Abysmal. Commended by Sputnik Music for adding, “another gem to their already consistent discography,” THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER’s Abysmal was named one the best albums of 2015 by Metal Sucks, Metal Injection, and Metal Insider, among many others.
ABNORMALITY released their sophomore full-length, Mechanisms Of Omniscience, earlier this year. Crowned their most “polished-sounding and dynamic release to date and stands head and shoulders with everything else they’ve released so far,” by No Clean Singing, the record marries the ceaseless brutality coming out of New York and New England to the hyper-blasting intensity endemic to Quebecois death metal. Mechanisms Of Omniscience is as unrelenting as it is passionate, tackling real world issues with intelligence and raw emotion.
