On the other hand, the bad news is that the band have announced that they've parted ways with lead guitarist Ryan Knight. Both Knight and vocalist Trevor Strnad have released statements regarding the situation, which can be read below.
Ryan comments: "After nearly seven years with The Black Dahlia Murder, I feel the time has come for me to step down and focus on other aspects of my life. The decision to leave was very difficult, yet necessary I feel for me to ultimately be happy and keep moving forward. I feel very lucky to have had the best band-mates/crew - past and present - to traverse the world, guzzle beers, and bring the rock with every night. Thank you guys! I'd like to give a huge thank you to all our fans for being so cool to me over the years, and all the hardworking people over at Metal Blade Records for their support, and general badassery. In the meantime, I'll still be teaching guitar, working on new music, and just getting pretty domestic in general. Thanks again!"
Trevor Strnad comments: "When Ryan first joined the band, he drove from the hospital where his first child had just been born to begin practicing and writing with us, on the eve of the recording of our Deflorate album. In his years with the band, he made a lot of sacrifices to be with us and uphold our insanely demanding touring and recording schedule. He always gave us one-hundred percent, and for that I thank him. He is an incredible musician and creative force. It was exciting to make new material with him, and his wealth of knowledge has left its stamp on the band's music forever. I always knew that his time in the band would be limited, and it has now come time for him to go home and be with his family. Ryan, being the stand-up dude that he is, told us of his plans to leave the band more than a year ago, and with heavy hearts we began to plan for the Black Dahlia Murder's future. We admire that Ryan went to such lengths to make his departure as easy on the band as possible, even going as far as to help us find a talented leadsman in Brandon Ellis - who has been lending us his tremendous guitar skills on the current Black Dahlia Murder tour. Knight is one of my best friends and I wish him the best in everything he does. He will always have a place here in the the Black Dahlia Murder family. I look back at our time together with nothing but gratitude."
With that said, we also wish Ryan the best in his future endeavours! Are you excited to hear Unhallowed played in full?
