Black Dahlia Murder - Servitude

With the tragic passing of TBDM frontman and co-founder Trevor Strnad in 2022, after a period of profound grief and soul-searching, band co-founder Brian Eschbach moved from guitar to vocals. Former TBDM member Ryan Knight returned to take Eschbach’s place on guitar. The new lineup made their debut in TBDM’s hometown of Detroit in October 2022 for a tribute show for Strnad. 

 “Everyone that’s in the band now is someone that Trevor and I searched for,” Eschbach says. “We spent so much time on the road together that everyone understands the mission statement. We don’t really need to talk about it. We just need to make great music and try to make people happy playing it.” 

Fans embraced the band’s decision to move forward. “The global outcry following Trevor's passing has shown us how important the band's music has been to so many people, and how important it is that we continue in his honor,” says lead guitarist Brandon Ellis. “You can never please everybody, but I know this music will be a healing and positive force for those who embrace it.”
