In 2022, the passing of Trevor Strnad, singer of generational death metal band The Black Dahlia Murder, hit the metal community like a ton of bricks. Their return to the stage in October that year – with founding guitarist Brian Eschbach taking on the role of frontman, and former guitarist Ryan Knight rejoining to fill his spot – met with an outpouring of support and emotion.
Poised to release Servitude, their first album in the wake of their loss, Brian tells Hammer how they’re honouring Trevor.
