The Black Dahlia Murder have unleashed their video for "Panic Hysteric". The fiery new tune comes off the band's tenth studio album, Servitude, out now on Metal Blade Records.
"Panic Hysteric" is a modern, classic TBDM waltz in the time-honored Swedish style. "Lyrically, it's a tribute to the fear and outrage that rock and roll ignited in mid-century America," elaborates vocalist Brian Eschbach. "I was reading quotes from Frank Sinatra, who really didn't like rock 'n' roll, and was pretty eloquent about it. I quoted him a couple of times in the song. That was a fun Sunday writing those lyrics. I'm not gonna lie - vodkas and Shirley Temples were involved."
The guitars, bass and vocals for Servitude were recorded at guitarist Brandon Ellis' home studio in New Jersey. The drums were recorded by Mark Lewis in Nashville, Tennessee where the album was also mixed. Servitude was mastered by Ted Jensen.
Servitude is available on digipak CD, cassette, and digital formats, as well as vinyl in various color variants and special editions. Order here.
