The Black Dahlia Murder release albums so regularly you can practically set your clock by ’em. The group’s last effort, Abysmal, came out in 2015, so according to the band’s ironclad two-year cycle, we’re just about due.

And lo! What’s this? Drummer Alan Cassidy has shared some footage from the studio? So we are getting a new BDM album this year. Like I said, you can set your watch by these dudes.

Check out the footage below. The new shit sounds awesome, but given BDM’s track record, that’s about as surprising as the fact that the sun came up this morning. (P.S. You’ll note that the post is a coupla weeks old but no one seems to have picked up on it before and I personally didn’t see it ’til vocalist Trevor Strnad tweeted about it. So just ignore the date and appreciate the new jams, k?)
