THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER delay Blackmarket Records release of "A Cold Blooded Epitaph"

By Erin Fox

Trevor of The Black Dahlia Murder has announced that the re-release of the band's "A Cold Blooded Epitaph" EP has been shelved for the time being. The repackaged release is to feature artwork courtesy of underground art legend Mark Riddick, who contributed artwork to fanzines such as Shock Chronicles early in his career. Here is the official statement from Trevor as published on the horror metal band's website, www.theblackdahliamurder.com

"We aren't exactly sure when this will be seeing the light of day, but you can expect that it will be with the next while. Guy at Blackmarket has his hands full at the second with The Red Chord's new full length (which I would rather have, personally), and we are deciding on a few last minute tweakings to the ep, to assure that that beautiful Blackmarket quality is shining through in every respect. Guy and I will be conspiring as soon as TRC has finished recording; so expect an ACTUAL release date (!) soon. Thank you guys for being so patient with this thing, and please try to refrain buying any $90 versions of the old ugly one from E-Bay."
