The Black Dahlia Murder Unleashes “Mammoth’s Hand”

Mammoth’s Hand” is the latest single from The Black Dahlia Murder. The track comes by way of the band’s upcoming tenth studio album, Servitude (Metal Blade Records), set for release on September 27th, 2024.

“Mammoth’s Hand” is partly inspired by a scene from Don Coscarelli’s 1982 swords ‘n’ sorcery epic, The Beastmaster. “We usually like to give some idea of what kind of diversity is gonna be on the album with the first two tracks we release,” vocalist Brian Eschbach offers. “[Guitarist] Ryan Knight wrote the music for this, and the slow rhythm made me think of these barbaric warriors riding mammoths out in the snow or that scene from The Beastmaster when the Jun horde takes the village.”

Eschbach further elaborates, “‘Mammoth’s Hand’ is a romp through a fictitious frozen tundra in which a clan of nomadic mammoth riding cannibals conquer villages in a time devoid of technology. The slow groove of this song is a vibe not often implemented by the group but immediately inspired a vision in my mind of a slow-moving yet gigantic and powerful beast of antagonistic nature.”

The Black Dahlia Murder, who are currently in the midst of a European tour, will join Dying Fetus for a North American co-headlining tour this Fall. The Beg To Serve 2024 tour will begin on October 3rd in Cleveland, Ohio and make its way through over two dozen cities, the journey coming to a close on November 10th in Chicago, Illinois. Support will be provided by Spite, AngelMaker, and Vomit Forth.
