The Black Dahlia Murder 

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

Symptoms of The Black Death (a.k.a The Bubonic Plague) Were you would get headaches, chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, back pain, soreness in arms and legs, and the sunlight was to bright to look at. Also, within about 2 days of these symptoms you would get swells on your neck arms and around your crotch area. Then a few days after that your hands will start to become black and the blackness would grow and then you would die.
