Verminous is The Black Dahlia Murder's most dynamic, exciting and emotional release to date, and it achieves this without sacrificing even a bit of power. "I think this is the biggest evolutionary leap we've ever made from one album to the next. We stoked the creative fires with 2017's 'Nightbringers,' and it goes much further now in 'Verminous,'" says vocalist Trevor Strnad. "It's a very colorful, moody and charismatic album that experiments with new sounds and ideas without losing the killer Black Dahlia side. There are many details to discover on this new album. Numerous delightful little "easter eggs" woven into the DNA of each song.
"Virtually every band claims that their new record is heavier, more melodic and more dynamic than the last. For once, 'Verminous' fulfills that promise. This is a deeper and smarter realization of the Michigan crew's tried and tested formula, and one blessed with several of the finest songs they have ever written...File next to 'Nocturnal' and 'Ritual' as an unquestionable career peak." - Blabbermouth (USA)
"...['Verminous' is] not JUST another great Black Dahlia Murder album. It's yet more evidence that The Black Dahlia Murder are truly in a league of their own. Do NOT take a gift like this for granted." - Metal Sucks (USA)
"...'Verminous' is one of the sharpest, smartest, and most consistent collections of songs which The Black Dahlia Murder have produced to date." - No Clean Singing (USA)
