Miasma is just the latest chapter in the ever-twisted saga of the Black Dahlia Murder. Like the long-unsolved murder of a young Hollywood starlet that the band took its name from, The Black Dahlia Murder"s appeal is visceral and dark, a terror-filled exploration of extreme sounds and vicious brutality. And it is a step closer to the apex for which the band is still aiming. Metal Blade. 2005.
