Everblack is the sixth studio album by American metal band, The Black Dahlia Murder. Released through Metal Blade Records on June 11, 2013. It is the first release by the band to feature drummer Alan Cassidy and bassist Max Lavelle.

The album sold 13,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release and debuted at position #32 on the Billboard 200.[7]

Background

Everblack is the first album to feature new drummer Alan Cassidy, who replaced Shannon Lucas, and new bassist Max Lavelle, who replaced Ryan "Bart" Williams. Vocalist Trevor Strnad has stated in an interview that the album’s name and content was an artistic rebuttal to the speculation that the band had “changed direction” as a result of participating in this year’s Warped Tour.[8] The cover art was created by artist Nick Keller.

Everblack was Recorded at Audiohammer Studios (lead guitars and vocals), Rustbelt Studios (drums), and Regal Fecal (guitar and bass). Former member Ryan Williams co-mixed the album.
