The Black Dahlia was a terrible unsolved crime. It was the murder of a young woman named Elizabeth Short. She fell in love with a soldier, who died. To get over her loss, she went drinking and also started seeing other men. She becamse known as "easy". One day she was found severly dismembered. Her mouth was cut up to her ears to keep a "smile" on her face. She was cut up all over her body and sliced in half from the waist. Grass was shoved up her vagina. She was posed with her legs spread open and her arms above her shoulders.

This has become one of the greatest murder mysteries of all time.

Named for the infamous 1947 slaying of 22-year-old Elizabeth Short, aka the Black Dahlia, sounds like they should live in Scandinavia, whence originates much of the frenetic brand of death and black metal that inspires them. Formed in January 2001, the group followed their six-song What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse demo with the four-track A Cold-Blooded Epitaph EP, which was released on their own Lovelost Records. With a number of acclaimed concerts appearances like the Milwaukee Metal Fest already under their belts, the group then signed with Metal Blade in 2003 and were soon recording their debut album, Unhallowed. 2005's Miasma and 2007's Nocturnal kept death metal as the group's foundation, though the band began exhibiting an increasingly melodic streak that came to fruition on 2009's brutal, but majestic Deflorate.
The Black Dahlia Murder is such a well-balanced brutal band. I saw them live and went nuts when this bad-ass gorilla started running around the stage during Statutory Ape
