BAD BOOTLEG FOOTAGE OF THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER PERFORMING MY FAVORITE SONG FROM DEFLORATE

Friday, October 2nd, 2009 at 9:30am by Axl Rosenberg

It’s the guitar solo on “Christ Deformed” that really gets me (go to 1:52ish). And not just the solo part of the solo – although Ryan Knight is playing a killer solo – but also what the rest of the band is doing during the solo. That whole start-stop thing makes me wanna stab someone in the neck with a screwdriver or pen every time I hear it, and I mean that as a compliment.

And listen to that crowd, man! The chanting! Few things are more metal than a good chant. It’s part of the fundamental dichotomy of being a headbanger: we’re supposed to be sullen, serious people, but we love  a good opportunity to all cheer in unison like some date raping fratboy at a kegger.

Deflorate is out now on Metal Blade. There are a lotta other good songs on it, too. If you have a favorite that isn’t “Christ Deformed,” why don’t you share with the group?

    Great way to start my morning. Thanks MS!

    Oh, and Christ Deformed is my favorite song on the new album, but Eyes of Thousand is just as good.

  2. FUCK YES! I LOVE THIS SONG.

  3. smear says:

    I like BDM and all, but does anyone else find Trevor’s little pointing thing along with every word to be really annoying?

    That said, I have and will still pay money to see them live, especially with Skeletonwitch.

    • Kyle Brahe says:

      Yeah. The dude from BTBAM isn’t quite sure to do with his non-mic hand either. It’s slightly irritating.

      • You Suck says:

        I sing an handful of songs in my band and I just grab my junk like an MC. It keeps my hand from hitting me in the face and it feels great! It’s a win win.

        • jason says:

          You can always put your hand in your pocket a la Dax Riggs and strain like you’re jerkin’ it.

          • You Suck says:

            Dax is the fucking shit. I loved acid bath, agents of oblivion and his new shit.

          • jason says:

            No disagreement here brother. A lot of people don’t care for his last solo record, but I think it’s fucking tits. Somehow that shit is still heavy as fuck.

  4. Nigel McCloud says:

    That and Death Panorama, which comes in and kicks your ass then leaves

  5. NOVEMBER 1st IN WILMINGTON, NC!!!

  6. Danexmurder says:

    Going to see them in Baltimore with Skeletonwitch. Can’t wait. Still, I think Necropolis gets me going more than anything else on Deflorate with, I will Return being a close second.

  7. stew says:

    i love the lyrics of a selection unnatural.

    his stage antics are hilarious. ive never had so much fun pumping my fists like a fucking retard for 30 minutes.

  8. Tom Campagna says:

    they really suck live. skeletonwitch was superb on that tour but the lead singer is a fucktard and a half

  9. Ben says:

    All of the songs are pretty good, but I think if I had to choose one, It’d be Throne Of Lunacy.

  10. Mark Gavin says:

    This is the only BDM album I have, but That Which Erodes blahblahblah is the best, in my opinion. Great solo.

  11. Alex Lockwood says:

    I’ve seen them twice, and was enamored every second. Crazy amazing live.
    Gotta say I Will Return and Necropolis are my favorites off Deflorate, but as with all of their albums, I love every single song.
    By far my lifelong favorite band.

  12. cink says:

    ‘Necropolis’ and ‘A Selection Unnatural’ are pretty awesome too.

  13. Bobby Tims says:

    I will return is like nothing else they have ever written, but the whole album makes me want to put my dick in the little hole in the middle of the disc. in a good way.

  14. Nate says:

    Hmmmm… I don’t think there’s a song i DONT like on there, but Necropolis is definitely my favorite, the solo has a lot of fucking feel, and the video is them BOWLING, one of my favorite passtimes. Deflorate is just overall win, though.

  15. Mr. Z says:

    this album doesnt have one bad song on it

  16. g says:

    necropolis, selection unnatural, and christ deformed are my favs

  17. djabthrash says:

    I agree that song is awesome, and so is the lead part.
    Anybody notice the Immolation vibe on the verses ?

    Though the rest of the album didn’t do much for me, whereas Nocturnal kicked my ass.

  18. linh says:

    i like necropolis and i will return. also, a selection unnatural.
    but all of the songs are pretty gosh darn good in my opinion.
    i’m seeing them in seattle on october 6th! stokeddd.

  19. meatparade says:

    Black Valor is the best song, IMO, on Deflorate. Shit is fast as fuck and the solo is epic.

  20. Kevin says:

    I love the whole album!

  21. I'm not racist, but I hate Oceano says:

    Track 5 and 10 are the best songs on the album, even though they really don’t sound like BDM songs.

  22. Davidian says:

    Christ Deformed is one of the standouts on a very, very strong album, but I Will Return has to be my favourite track.

  23. Prophet says:

    No doubt Throne of Lunacy is my favorite. Lyrically and musically it’s their best song to date..IMO.

  24. Tuhdeh says:

    Deflorate kicks lots of asses and brutaly stabs them after the kicking. Death Panorama, Necropolis and Black Valor are sick and make me wanna fuck somebody up. Just bought the album for $36 (that is how much they charge over here in the Netherlands), but its worth every fucking penny.

  25. Fong Chung says:

    I really enjoy I will Return alot.

  26. Terry says:

    I Will Return is one of favorite songs right now. I can never get the lines at the end of the song “Heresy, some say it’s blasphemy. Assuring I’ll be in Hell when God is through with me.” Of Christ Deformed, Death Panaorama, and Throne of Lunacy are great. Fuck it, the whole cd!!!
