Grossly underrated album. I was always so surprised with the lukewarm reception despite doing well. Nocturnal was so massive it didn’t get out of its shadow, but now with Trevor gone and some perspective people can appreciate this record is solid. Rest in Power, Trev.
@@ejk425Thank you, dude. I’ve always been floored by this album and try to point it out to people. This is my favorite without question. Best lineup, and the way Ryan Williams writes is incredible. He literally leads the band
You’re 100% correct…I myself didn’t truly appreciate this album when it first came out. I went a loooong time without listening to this album and I regret it. This shit is fuckin dope. Trevor forever🖤
One of the biggest influences of how i write lyrics. He was incredibly cool when i met him after a show when i was 17 and when i got to speak to him again when i was 24. RIP. We will all miss you as a metal giant and an incredibly kind person.
i'm 32 now, and allmost don't listen to metal anymore, but I can not explain with words how much the music from this band used to mean to me through my teenage years and my 20's. Rest in Preace Trevor!
Damn, dude. I’ve gotta give you props; I’m currently 31 and have owned this album for at LEAST 10+ years, (mind you I believe I purchased Ritual before even getting this record but even still, consider Deflorate their best album to date) and I used to listen to this album front-to-back on a daily basis in 2012 and loved every minute of it, and it never really grew even minimally stale to me. I have since given the album (and this band) a huge rest, but always revisit both venues regularly, and in each time doing so question why I don’t do it more often because of not only the quality of the musicianship, but also my lifelong love and dedication to metal-but in conclusion, I must add that with each sprinkled-in listening (which have become unusually popular of late) this band has if anything, become INFINITELY more enjoyable to me, and with my ever-developing love/analytical skills/taste for music, tracks like this particularly (love the way they dissect their own pace in songs such as this and “Christ Deformed”) The Black Dahlia Murder has truly developed into one of the classiest, sexiest and most enjoyable acts I could possible ever imagine. That’s cool that you outgrew metal though, dude. Much respect to you for taking that next step. Amen. 🤣🙏
@fidelgonzalezlopez9342 I don't get this either, it's a form of music not a pair of shoes. But if you're not feeling it any more of course you're gonna do you.. so best wishes! I'm in my 40's now and I remember listening to Metallica Killem' all in the car with my grandmom. Definitly wasn't anything she was fimilliar with.. but when it got to whiplash she said: "Finnaly something with a beat to it!"
I remember the show in Montreal for the 10th year tour, this was either the encore or the "last" song before it, I was front row Singing the lyrics and I remember Trevor Bent down, looked at me, reach out his hand and pulled me up on stage, we sang a couple lines together and I jumped in the crowd, it was one of the absolute best day of my life. Rest in Peace you Legend, my condolences to his family, the band and every Blastfiend in the world.
Commented vocalist Trevor Strnad: "We filmed this [video] at the Garden Bowl in Detroit, Michigan early in the morning… We want to thank everyone that was involved for getting drunk at 10 a.m. Bear witness to the horror of 1,000 gutter balls! PARTY ON, WAYNE!"
When I first heard this song (without the video) I could imagine a dark setting and a post-apocalyptic earth, I finally looked at the video and I get a band member finger fucking a bowling ball XD I love these guys
One thing I miss about 2000's metal and metalcore was the very serious and incredible music but bands not taking themselves very seriously AT ALL. I loved it.
Father, I know that you've witnessed a darkness in me 'Twas spawned in shadows of the old gallow's tree I'm but a sad, depraved reflection of our inhumanity The warped exaggeration of the lost and darkest of dreams Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire Here now in mankind's bleakest hour Born of the casket, I'm the heir to a corpse I've eyes that see maggots through the thin flesh they bore I shall bloody my hands 'til the last breath be torn from me So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets Dead, the once feeling part of me O lord divine, please break this silence Destroy your race of faceless liars [Guitar solo] At the edge of existence We the clays of intention have ripened in your image Ah, the binds of tradition Your archaic deception numbs our empty beings City that sleeps on a million graves In a world full of hatred, to fear enslaved Countless; the dead slaughtered in your name Not an utter of your voice have you once repaid No above, no below, just a man letting go When all my earthly desire is disowned No screaming sirens should sound No revelations profound Simply lowered into the ground That's just what I'll be, dead in the dirt So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets Dead, the once feeling part of me Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire Here now in mankind's bleakest hour O lord divine, please break this silence Destroy your race of faceless liars Necropolis
"No above, no below, Just a man letting go, When all my earthly desire is disowned. No screaming sirens should sound, no revelations profound, Simply lowered into the ground, that's just what i'll be: Dead in the dirt." I love it so hard, if this song were a person they wouldn't be able to walk.
Im 34 now and ive looked up to trevor nearly my entire life. he got me into metal and the world is at a huge loss. Some say never meet your hero but trevor was a kind soul
First time I ever heard of these guys was in 2009. I went to Mayhem Fest, my first metal concert, alone. And it was a wrap after that. I was so hooked after that day. Seen them 4 times after that.
Better late than never my dude. These dude fucking rule. Their lives shows are nuts too. I've seen them 3 times and they are so badass. True musicians, and cool people as well.
Descansa en paz Trevor, TBDM fue una de las primeras bandas de metal "underground" que conocí y hasta la fecha me siguen pareciendo brutales, te vamos a extrañar.
RIP Man, been listening to the old Dahlia records a lot and I've been wishing you were still at the concerts. Truly an unmatched lyricist and extremely talented vocalist. Hope you're okay up there now Trev
I don't want to be disrespectful to Brian, but no one can replace Trevor. I know he's not trying to, but Black Dahlia will never be the same. Those striking highs, the crushing lows....it just can't be matched. RIP Trev. We miss you, bud.
I saw them in 2009 and this was before the release of Deflorate and when they ended their set, the crowd was still going nuts and they asked if we wanted another "one we haven't heard yet" room went nuts and they proceeded to play this banger of a song. I'll never forget watching this music video when it came out and remembering that night.
+oLexxy1996 They're AMAZING live plus they're down to earth as fuck and take the time to take pictures and talk a min with everyone who stays after.Hands down favorite band
This is actually TBDM at my favorite. They put in the work with their early albums, they hit it big (for DM) with Nocturnal, and they went more technical while expanding their song writing with this album. You can tell Trevor was having a good time, especially at 2:39. I will always love this band.
I prefer the old albums to the new ones tbh, the melodies were catchier and songs were more energetic imo, propably because the songwriting was simpler.
RIP Trevor, we all loved you and will miss you for the rest of our days. Thank you so much for all the joy you have brought us. So many dark days you have made bright 🤗🤗🤗
this intro to this song along speaks volumes. that lead riff starts, then he just destroys everything with that trademark scream. they're the definition of a well oiled machine.
I'm seriously Choked up watching this. They were a big part of my life. Shannon and Ryan hands down the best members to have been replacements to the original members.
@ande66 its an Ibanez RG550 series 20th anniversary edition...they made a limited amount of them although i think they brought em back but not in the same color...
i was never able to fully get into this album. but I Will Return is one of their best songs, and it kind of doesnt matter that the rest of the album is unmemorable trevor the 🐐
At the edge of existence We the clays of intention have ripened in your image Ah, the binds of tradition Your archaic deception numbs our empty beings City that sleeps on a million graves In a world full of hatred, to fear enslaved
@ande66 Ryans playing a road flare red Ibanez RG, Brians playing what could possibly be a ltd. flying v model (obviously) cant get a good look at the headstock. Ive been wondering also
I promise if I ever come into huge amounts of money, I'm starting a chain of bowling alleys that have bands playing over the lanes 24/7. Cheap booze too. Wish me luck.
Rest in peace to an absolute legend. Blasting TBDM all day today
To my brothers who've fallen before me, I Will walk with you again!!!!
-Warborn
RIP Trevor... Saddest day for Metal since Ronnie Dio passed...
This shot got me fucked up
Absolutely devastated... RIP
This is honestly one of those songs that make up every single reason why you should love BDM, and why he will be missed.

Haha!... What a fucking comment!
yeah Brian tends to do that
the black dahlia murder changed me
The first video I ever saw by these guys. And have been a hardcore fan ever fucking since.
agreed dude XD
One thing I miss about 2000's metal and metalcore was the very serious and incredible music but bands not taking themselves very seriously AT ALL. I loved it.
They be coming back. And old bands are releasing new yumz
Hard to believe this came out 13 years ago and still sounds so tight! REST IN FUCKING POWER TREVOR!!!
Father, I know that you've witnessed a darkness in me
'Twas spawned in shadows of the old gallow's tree
I'm but a sad, depraved reflection of our inhumanity
The warped exaggeration of the lost and darkest of dreams
Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire
Here now in mankind's bleakest hour
Born of the casket, I'm the heir to a corpse
I've eyes that see maggots through the thin flesh they bore
I shall bloody my hands 'til the last breath be torn from me
So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets
Dead, the once feeling part of me
O lord divine, please break this silence
Destroy your race of faceless liars
[Guitar solo]
At the edge of existence
We the clays of intention have ripened in your image
Ah, the binds of tradition
Your archaic deception numbs our empty beings
City that sleeps on a million graves
In a world full of hatred, to fear enslaved
Countless; the dead slaughtered in your name
Not an utter of your voice have you once repaid
No above, no below, just a man letting go
When all my earthly desire is disowned
No screaming sirens should sound
No revelations profound
Simply lowered into the ground
That's just what I'll be, dead in the dirt
So blindly we walk the winds of these plagued streets
Dead, the once feeling part of me
Bring forth a wrath of cleansing fire
Here now in mankind's bleakest hour
O lord divine, please break this silence
Destroy your race of faceless liars
Necropolis
Brutal..
Nearly perfect, but the last line is clearly "MICROPENIS." Listen again, you'll see
"No above, no below,
Just a man letting go,
When all my earthly desire
is disowned.
No screaming sirens should sound,
no revelations profound,
Simply lowered into the ground,
that's just what i'll be: Dead in the dirt."
I love it so hard, if this song were a person they wouldn't be able to walk.
The second I read this comment, those exact lyrics came around. XD
Trevor's writing is always so poetic, it's easy to forget you're basically listening to a horror movie.
This line hits home right now. RIP trevor
@@k1ll8oi62 I hadn't heard until this comment. Such a loss. Rest in power indeed
Rip
Im 34 now and ive looked up to trevor nearly my entire life. he got me into metal and the world is at a huge loss. Some say never meet your hero but trevor was a kind soul
Will be listening to their music on repeat for a while. RIP Trevor, Metal GOAT!!!!!
Nunca vas a morir para mi Trevor, tu voz y tu banda me acompaño en toda mi infancia hasta el día de hoy, todavía sigo en shock por esta noticia.
Bowling is the most metal pastime activity.
***** I do it weekly!
James Rice It's the truth. Everybody knows.
+VisionXray23 if it wasn't before this vid, it is now
+VisionXray23 As a bowler, I can confirm this. It is indeed metal.
The Acacia Strain agrees!
First time I'm seeing Trevor wear a shirt!
Yeah it doesnt stay on very long when you see em live haha
And of course it's a fucking bowling shirt lmao
1:27 The song is so good Moist Critikal teleported to play a solo for us
If you remember this music, your childhood was awesome.
Oh, I member bruh.
lol
I'm at college year when deflorate was released 😶
i remember lime wiring funeral thirst
Childhood?? You makes me feel oldy... But youve right
One of my favorite vocal tracks in death metal ever. Man goes from brutal growls up to shrieks all over the place
funniest metal band out there (and one of the best)
You should really check: Infant Annihilator - Decapitation Fornication with the video xD
The Acacia strain has some funny videos. The hills have eyes.
RIP Trevor. You guys will always be one of my all time favorite bands
Rip Trevor. Thank you for all that you've done for the world of Metal. May your soul be at peace now
I remember many many years ago....first 7sec of this song got me in and never let me go
Somehow i just found this band a month ago. Wondering how i wasted 19 perfectly good years of my life
Drumrrulezz yes lol
greatest band ever
Check the album Nocturnal.
First time I ever heard of these guys was in 2009. I went to Mayhem Fest, my first metal concert, alone. And it was a wrap after that.

Better late than never my dude. These dude fucking rule. Their lives shows are nuts too. I've seen them 3 times and they are so badass. True musicians, and cool people as well.
These guys have such great attitudes! I don't think I've ever seen them take anything too seriously, which is exactly what metal needs.
RIP Trevor! Thanks for all the great tunes sir! You will be missed dearly! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I CAN *HOLD MY BREATH* FOR A LOOOONG TIME!
Blasting BDM so loud my ears bleed but my heart will beat on for you Trevor. Thank you and the members of BDM for all the music you've shared with us.
BEST TBDM lineup right here, hands down.
2:20 - 3:00 best part of the song, Shannon kills it!
When the Seer told Rollo the gods had good things in store for him, I never imagined it would be as the lead guitarist for TBDM
cant believe how old this song is, feels like just a couple years ago it was released. Rest In Power Trevor we love you!!!!!!
I love these guys and their videos. They have fun, like every band should
Descansa en paz Trevor, TBDM fue una de las primeras bandas de metal "underground" que conocí y hasta la fecha me siguen pareciendo brutales, te vamos a extrañar.
En efecto, y Todavía es imposible de Créer su partida Hermano ( ･ั﹏･ั)
Descansa en Paz Trevor •́ ‿ ,•̀
Favorite band period sick ass song and video!!!
For me it's meshuggah and dahlia for metal. These guys are so damn fun and good and brutal
Shannon Lucas is easily my favorite BDM drummer.. RIP Trevor 🙏🏽🤘🏽✊🏽
It sucks you are gone, Trevor. Your legacy will live on in these videos & songs. Thank you for everything. RIP
Trevors music will be buried like a venomous little earworm in my brain forever. Missed by us all.
Ryan Knight is Fantastic!!
+Emiliano Franquet he's truly written some bonkers solos
Ellis is way beast, technically superior
Ryan Knight still has better riffs.
I remember when I saw this band touring on this album when I was still in high school, so good then and they're just as good now
RIP Man, been listening to the old Dahlia records a lot and I've been wishing you were still at the concerts. Truly an unmatched lyricist and extremely talented vocalist. Hope you're okay up there now Trev
I Love this song and video! ♥
RIP Trevor. This song was my ringtone for years in high school. The reactions were priceless.
Honestly they never seem to fail when I'm feeling like shit always keep bring me up once all hope is gone for me.
Clash with ChoasX same.
Alone, in this darkness of night, your word scream sound, pulse souls, sounding to the void where we shall meet, we will meet at the final punch out.
I don't want to be disrespectful to Brian, but no one can replace Trevor. I know he's not trying to, but Black Dahlia will never be the same. Those striking highs, the crushing lows....it just can't be matched. RIP Trev. We miss you, bud.

How have I been a fan of this band for so long and never knew of this video!?!?!? So metal.....
Watching this takes me back to 10 years ago a night in front of a computer before going on a college trip. Still one of the favorite.
One of the best drummers 👌
RIP Trevor, we all loved you and will miss you for the rest of our days. Thank you so much for all the joy you have brought us. So many dark days you have made bright 🤗🤗🤗
on the graph of heaviness to how much fun they are having and how chill they seem, they are at the very top.
RIP Trevor.
That last verse carries so much weight now.
guitarist is amazing. he can walk down a bowling lane without falling on his goofy ass.
ryan knight's the man
Looool
Brian have so much influence in classical music and i love it
I just saw these guys in concert for the first time @Piere's!!! Amazing concert!!!!
this intro to this song along speaks volumes. that lead riff starts, then he just destroys everything with that trademark scream.
they're the definition of a well oiled machine.
The Ryan Knight solo is one of the sexiest solos ever! TBDM made bowling so awesome and metal!!
R.I.P. Brother... The void you left can never be filled...
D.E.P Trevor, siempre serás la voz más grande del Metal Extremo.
EXTREMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time i every came across these guys was from this video on SCUZZ! Loved them ever since.
I'm seriously Choked up watching this. They were a big part of my life. Shannon and Ryan hands down the best members to have been replacements to the original members.
I love that song too muchhh, more than the others!!!!
***** you're a clone
***** maybe...
These guys have the best music videos
THIS is what they need to play while I’m eating nachos and bowling! Thank you TBDM!
Best night of my life. last thursday. Thanks TBDM.
They should be WAY more popular than they are, this song is so fucking awesome

I cried cried cried so much hearing his voice! 😭😭😭😭
Always loved this band.
Why
man this is great I love how they don't try to be hardcore in their videos they just like to have fun
