SUMMER SLAUGHTER CONTEST: WIN AN ESP GUITAR SIGNED BY THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER AND WHITECHAPEL

Thursday, August 4th, 2011 at 12:30pm by

ESP LTD ViperMetalSucks is once again sponsoring the Summer Slaughter tour, which is quickly approaching the halfway mark of its annual North American run (dates here). But the fun here at the MS Mansion is just getting started, not because next week’s NYC play is right around the corner but because we’ve been given two ESP guitars to give away by the tour’s organizers! Both guitars are ESP LTD Viper Series models (shown above) and are signed by all the members of this year’s co-headliners, The Black Dahlia Murder and Whitechapel. Woah; you mean to say you can win one of these bad boys for the price of free? Yes, yes you can.

TO WIN — Write a comment below telling us your answer to the following question: “Which Black Dahlia Murder or Whitechapel song is the anthem for your summer?” This is MetalSucks, not your 3rd grade homework assignment, so remember to be funny, interesting, and most of all creative with your answer. Axl and Vince will hand-select their two favorite entries when the tour ends and will notify winners by email shortly thereafter, so be sure to enter your comment with a valid email address you check frequently. Good luck!

    BDM – What A Horrible Night to Have a Curse… nothing says summer to me like the destruction of my enemies by the dark ones. It’s really that simple…

  • Matt

    Vicer Exciser…….because genital mutilation and rape is always better when its nice out. \m/

    • Christian

      I’m with this guy, who wouldn’t want to spend their summer ripping some hoe’s limbs off and mutilating the fuck out of her? And then after all that just spit in her face and ask her how it tastes and then break the news she wont ever be able to attempt to reproduce her nasty self =D

    BDM – Moonlight Equilibrium… This song is the best part of my summer, the chorus is such a perfect anthem. It makes me want to run around, yell really loud, and punch somebody in the face all at the same time.

    On Stirring Seas of Salted Blood by the Black Dahlia Murder would have to be my anthem for the summer. Honestly,On Stirring Pots of Salted Blood would likely be more fitting because of my “solution” to the overpopulation of cats in the area. I have to hand it to the kind inhabitants of China though, they really know how to make pussy taste good.

  • chris

    are you guys ever going to announce the The BTBAM AAL tour ?

    • PrEtTyLuSh05

      um, i think they already did??

  • M’Kay

    The Black Dahlia Murder’s ‘The Window’, off Ritual. First of all, because it catchy and musical in a way that they have never sounded like before. It is also the anthem to my summer because it can fit the mood if I’m working out, lounging, driving to work, sodomizing children and ejaculating in their face, getting the mail, etc…

    During a “Moonlit” night the “Elqualibriam” of the earth fell of balance when an “Ape” committed a “Statutory” act apon a helpless victim. The “Pictures” of the crime where extremely “Vulgar”. As the police had expected, the criminal was “Nocturnal”. It was one of the “Blackest Incarnations” the department of Detroit police had ever seen. They put out a warrant for the beast and said they want to put it in “To a breathless Oblivion”. “This ain’t no fucking love song anybody”, this is a tail of a beast and for this beast, It seems like “it’ll be a terrible night to have a curse” with these officers after it. When they have its head, it’ll be kept as a “Novelty” piece. “Paint it black” they say, for we are now “Warborn!”

    “A Shrine to Madness” by the Black Dahlia Murder. My girlfriend was in the car when I first played it and I saw all the happiness and joy leave her face. After seeing the Black Dahlia live in Nashville and then hearing the new album shit on my girlfriend and I, my summer will never be like this one.

  • glarry

    I Will Return by The Black Dahlia Murder. I am Captain America and I just woke up from a cryonic sleep. Upon waking up I realized that music now is much better than it was back in the 40s.

    A SHRINE TO MADNESSSssss! hands down! I’m a grown ass man, and every time that song gets to the part “CULTUS DIABOLUUSss!!! Laus ut FLAMMAAaa!!” I seriously have to turn around and make sure satan isn’t looming over my shoulder with an ice pick! My band gets to open for Dahlia this sat in milwaukee, and the first thing i will say to Trevor, is probably that phrase. ” hey Trevor, how’s it goingCULTUS DIABOLUUSsss!!!” “(sigh), sorry, involuntary reaction to awesomeness”

    Yeah, not even gonna bother here. Perhaps if you were giving away an actual ESP and not a shitty LTD, but no.

    My summer jam would have to be BDM’s “Deathmask Divine.” “Why?” you ask in a polite, yet quizzical tone. I’ll tell you why: that song gets me beyond hype. Now to an actual tale involving the song: there I was, calmly sitting on a friend’s porch at a small party, discussing various metal bands and whether they were “trve” or “kvlt” enough to acknowledge liking them. Deciding that no band was obscure or grim enough to deserve our liking, the conversation shifted to summer plans. When it was my turn to announce that I would be going to Summer Slaughter at the 930 club, a thought hit me: “I’m seeing god damn Black Dahlia Murder and god fucking dammit, they’re gonna play Deathmask Divine live.” Without saying a word to my companions, I nimbly (despite my portly build) leaped from the porch and found my landing cushioned by a small Nicaraguan child who happened to be passing at the time. The unfortunate incident left the child a pile of goo, but I kept trucking. I had bigger fish to fry. After power-walking for several blocks, I dove into the manliest, most metal car in the world, a 2005 Touring Edition PT Cruiser. Turning the ignition and hearing the speakers blare to life, I had a second realization. My car adored me so dearly, that it had Nocturnal plugged in, and “Deathmask Divine” waiting for me. With glee and lust swelling up within me, I stomped my heavy size 14 into the accelerator and darted off toward greatness. Unluckily for the previously mentioned Nicaraguan child, he had crawled into the street, where he was promptly reduced to an even gooier past by the silver monstrosity I drove. But I didn’t care, fuck that, I was listening to my favorite BDM song and I had business to attend to. That business began several miles down the road, where I ordered at the McDonald’s drive through, all while still blaring “Deathmask Divine” on repeat. My hunger sated, I opted to not return to the party, but rather to go home. Once there, I calmly turned off my car, and retired to my room for slumber. But my cat, Shotzee the bossest of all hogs, decided I could not sleep on this night. So in retaliation, I screamed the lyrics to “Deathmask Divine” until I was blue in the face. Terrified, Shotzee left me to my dreams, which were rife with the devastation I intend to cause at Summer Slaughter the second Black Dahlia Murder hit that first note on stage.

    The Black Dahlia Murder – Dave Goes To Hollywood. And that’s because when I graduated this summer, I went same morning on the local pub and drink my head full of alcohol with beer. Next morning I woke up next to toilet and my clothes smelling like the mix of beer, cigarettes, puke, pee and shit, this song was actually playing in my head. And well you know, nothing is more summer-ish thing than drinking beer. And smelling bad in the morning.

    It all began on a cool summer night last winter. The air smelled of B.O. and clove cigarettes, a wind of plague if you will. I could tell I was nearing some sort of industrial/Goth gathering or concert. I had just opened my last packet of Jack Links peppered beef jerky when “rawr!” a small man wearing vampire fangs jumped out of a shrub right near where I was walking. “Give me all your beef jerky!” He shouted “or else!” “Or else what!” I said in a very sarcastic tone and kept walking down the path. Just as soon as I had forgotten about the the lil’ Vamp man, a thick fog started forming all around me. I knew it was that lil bastard trying to get my beef jerky, so I eat as fast as I could. Not Fast enough. There, suddenly standing in front of me was the lil’ Vamp and the largest “woman” I had ever seen. All decked out in a vinyl bra and colorful rainbow tube hair extensions. “Oh Shiiii!” I muttered when she bashed me over the head knocking me out cold. I awoke in what I thought was an alien space ship, lots of smoke bad lights and…. wait glow sticks? They dragged me to the damn Industrial concert! I was bound in glow ropes and odd zipper straps they had taken off of the cool pants they were all wearing. Forced to listen and watch an entire set by Pig Face featuring Zyklon 9 while they all ate my beef jerky. Hours or what seemed like days later they all gathered around me and cast The spell of “bad grammar, punctuation and run on sentences” on me and sent me on my way. All I could think of while leaving was “Ill get my revenge” and “I WILL RETURN”. It is now a cold winter night this summer and “I WILL RETURN” by The Black Dahlia Murder comes on my walkman, I think of that horrible night and my revenge, shutter and think “That is the last place “I WILL RETURN, fuck that shit” and just jam out.

    mmmm beef jerky.

    Funeral Thirst by TBDM of course. It is an instant classic and has everything you need to fulfill an awesome summer. Also have you not seen Spongebob rock out to this song?! I mean Spongebob is the essence of fucking summer so it only makes sense!

    (inthesegraywalls@aol.com) Possession all the way, frankly because that kid at the end of their new music video makes me lol over how freaking stupid he is (seriously if youve never seen it watch it). Not mention that riff makes me want to get up and mosh like a 40-year old Cannibal Corpse Fan

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Achilles-Kirkikis/1827481700 Achilles Kirkikis

    “Fairy Fay” by Whitechapel would be my anthem. Chainsaws, Necrophilia, Sodimizing Orifices, False hope and hocking phlegm in a slut’s face with an open throat bleeding profusely. Its been a pretty bland summer.

  • Austin Nutter

    On Stirring Sea of Salted Blood by Black Dahlia. It transforms a nice day at the lake or a pool party into a voyage on a haunted ship across the endless oceans of hell. Innertubes and rafts with kids on them are replaced by the ships of the damned. Whenever I hear that main riff I just think “it’s go time. We’re gonna make this pool into a whirlpool. Let’s see a fucking circle pit, right now!”. And this circle pit of the damned forms a mighty vortex that sucks helpless vessels in, crashing to the bottom to be engulfed by the endless sea of filth that they were damned to have traversed for all eternity. And in their final moments, when they cease to struggle against their fates, they accept, nay, rejoice, in meeting their ends, for their damnation has finally come to an end, and they may finally rest in peace, having become one with the crimson tides.

  • peepeebottom

    I’m loving Den of the Picquerist. It’s great that BDM is branching out and incorporating styles other than their standard metalcore formula. As much as I love old BDM, this new album kicks so much ass because it’s still their sound but with so much experimentation, and there’s not a single dud on the album.

    With that being said, the punk roots of Den of the Picquerist really get me going. It’s the first thing I put on in the morning when I hop in my car on the way to work.

  • boazhimself

    miasma. BDM.
    “no we dont wanna work, we just wanna fuck, swallow pills and forget our curses”
    and the video sums up the alcohol intake.

    plus, whitechapel blows.

  • YevgoR

    Wild Nights, Hot Crazy Days by Judas Priest obviously. Turbo was one hell of an album.

  • R.

    BDM – Moonlight Equilibrium. All summer I’ve heard screaming directed at my house from my Russian neighbors when I play this song. Must be trying to imitate Trevor Strnad’s vocals…

  • bieberpunch!

    ‘Nocturnal’ – The Black Dahlia Murder
    Simply because It’s been soo damn hot on the east coast that being Nocturnal is the only time I can avoid the heat.
    Plus it’s the only death metal song to include the word ‘nostrils’ and still be brutal.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mike-Insunza/100000222041029 Mike Insunza

    I would say Necropolis by BDM. When it plays in my head during my slave retail work I am wisked away to a bowling alley where the Dude,Walter and that cowboy fuck full of Coors Beer are all doing shots off Trevor Strnad’s bacon flavored chocolate fondue fountain that has magically sprouted out of his belly. It is those moments of joy I get durin g this summer full of hot retail shit.

    I’m going old school and just saying the entire Unhallowed album, I bought that the day it came out many moons ago and no matter what I can listen to it front to back all the way through, if i had to choose one song off of it it’s gotta be Contagion, sick shredding solo, and the final lines of the song just beg to bring about chaos, destruction and madness. And as far as Whitechapel goes…..ehhh…I guess Prostatic Fluid Asphyxiation as it’s the only song I remotely remember. GSEbeatdown@gmail.com

  • MeesterDerp

    Moonlight Equilibrium because this entire summer, weird shit had been happening in my house. No lie. Lights going out and coming back, windows shutting and locking, and my cat locked in our fold out shutters.

  • jakequitts

    Black Valor, BDM. WILL YOUR FLESH WITHSTAND THE APOCALYPSE? Why do you think I am tanning all summer, to look good? Not even close. I’m preparing for Armageddon.

  • Sean

    It’s definitely Moonlight Equilibrium. There’s been a vicious surplus in rabbits pestering our local gardens and my werewolf-y affliction is the ultimate pesticide, conveniently enough.

  • mike

    Elder Misanthropy by TBDM from their album unhallowed. Try not dancing to that chorus riff. Bet you can’t.

  • bozium

    I will return is the song of my summer because thats the song that black dahlia played last on my stop of summer slaughter and after that show i blazed with trevor, brian, some dudes from darkest hour and some roadies in front of the venue like 100 feet away from cops right after trevor and brian “assassinated” us with the pink swords from the powerglove set. EPIC

  • Christian Strazisar

    Mine would have to be devolved by whitechapel. I live on Michigan so weather changes alot but damn it’s soo hot here so whenever it’s hot I scream “welcome to hell!” but yeah really it’s hotter than satan’s balls over here!

  • Louise

    Whitechapel – Alone in the Morgue is my song for this summer. Mainly because I got to have sex in the back of a hearse to this song! Fucking wicked experience!

  • Nick

    - A Shrine to Madness –
    I’ve listened to the Ritual album from start to finish more times this summer than anything else. Any time I hear A Shrine to Madness (even a singe riff from it), I’m drawn back to my first listen through the album. It has been on for almost every bit of mindless work I’ve had to do in the past few months, and has also distracted me from doing many more important things.

  • Wayne

    Statutory Ape. Why? Because I love blasting the song because there’s always a chance that some politically correct asshat will ask me what I’m listening and I can tell them I’m listening to a song called Statutory Ape which immediately piss them off despite the fact the song has nothing to do with underage sex unlike the shitty R Kelly they listen to.

  • Angel trujillo

    WHITECHAPLE -Posession
    Nothing like a good summer then a skng to head bang too

    I would have to say massiabolical by Whitechapel…. Something about the low heavy riffs, the kind that shatter your grandmothers hip and skin your puppy that just, idk… Puts the biggist damn smile on my face. (also, some baller pulled up next to me in a caddy playin some rap thang…. I cranked this song and blew him away with my 4 12″ subs… Metal in da getto)

    BDM – Miasma because I don’t want to work. I just want to fuck, swallow pills, and forget my curses! \m/ Or The Window because I like to sodomize the young and dying :)

  • Diego Aguilar

    Statutory ape: (BDM) i traveled to st louis zoo and fell in love with the monkey exhibit. big ol’ bright red ass with the sun gleaming off of it. my jaw dropped. dick hard as a ryan seacrests calluses from giving handjobs. balls dripping wet. i knew what had to be done. i picked up the nearest orphan because fuck em, and threw him through the glass. this startled the apes as they ran screaming. i ran through the exhibit dodging shit like they were bullets from vietnam. i looked for that bright red ass and chased it down. i leaped about thirty feet in the air and tackled the dick out of that ape. It was love at first sight. me and the monkey locked eyes and a single tear dropped down. we both started making out heavy. sweat and tears running down our faces as we locked lips to the extreme. I invited her out to a movie so we went. we saw friends with benefits. watching mila kunis on the big screen got my penis erect. i did the ol’ popcorn trick and hand my monkey reach in for a handful of popped corn. she touched my dick and flipped out. she started screaming and ran out. I chased her down, tackled her and had my way with her. to this day good ol’ chimp chimp won’t return my calls……its funny how summer works i guess

    BDM-everything went black because when I saw black dahlia murder something wierd fucking happen when they played that song there was a portal that broke through the stage and five fucking demons came out with a deflorate shirt on and started pitting and they didn’t pit with there arms they pitted with there dicks and it was fucking brutal and when they head banged they fucking created a wave of death and decay and Trevor was like ” fuck that was brutal” and then the demons were like hell yeah it is and then after he show the demons smoke five bowls with black dahlia and snorted some demon crack IT HAPPENED FUCKER \m/

  • http://www.facebook.com/handsofthedestroyer Kenneth Ashman

    “THE WINDOW” BY THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER is my anthem for the summer because, I too, love ejaculating in the mouths of children that, by my hands, are seconds from death. BLESS ALL EARTHS MOST PRECIOUS CHILDREN!!!

    The Black Dahlia Murder’s “Moonlight Equilibrium” is the song I listen to while running through the forest, slaking my bloodthirst on whatever poor unfortunate soul happens to stumble across my path, a blinding flash of fatal fur and fangs. After all, we are but beasts.

  • Daniel

    What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse by BDM , for a couple reasons. A: I just got a rom for Castlevania 2: Simons Quest and having that song playing when you hit the day to night transitions(which is a text box that states “What a Horrible night to have a curse”) is awesome. One time, the song started when the text box popped up. B: When me and my buddy were driving around town one night, that song started playing and we kept it on repeat, blasting it as loud as we could as we cruised through the night.

  • Andrew

    Prostatic Fluid Asphyxiation

    Because everyone know borderline necrophilia is where all the fun is at! A bloody death and sex in one, how could anyone beat that? Do that shit all summer long and it’ll be a summer of slaughter and bliss.

  • Joe Kraus

    The whole ritual album cause it is the shit

  • Dillon

    In my honest opinion, I’d have to say “A Shrine To Madness” off ‘Ritual.’ It starts out slow, brooding, and dark. Eventually, it picks up, unleashing the true evil from within, ready to maim and corrupt those willing to oppose the reckoning. A true song of celebration. I listen to this song all the time. It gets me at least somewhat stoked for work, despite my hate for it. My friends and I have been banging our heads to this since the album dropped. Honestly, this has not been my year up until this summer, and I can only thank Black Dahlia Murder for that. I bought every album and Majesty within the same month, and I couldn’t be happier.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Robert-Erenberg/643578572 Robert Erenberg

    I’m actually trying to win this for one of my best friends. This particular friend is one of those spaghetti-and-spousal-abuse Italian stereotypes, so when I hear my summer’s anthem, The Black Dahlia Murder’s “Everything Went Black”, all I can think of is the look on his face when his 5’4″, 43 year old mother introduced us to her brand new, 27 year old, 6’9″ tall, angry Barry White voiced, muscle-bound black boyfriend last week (apparently, “everything going black” includes his mother). That moment + Summer Slaughter coming up? As his equally stereotypical Grandfather Salvatore (I shit you not) might have said while stepping off the boat in New York, “Only in America!”

  • Miley Cyborg

    After having spent the majority of winter and spring cryogenically frozen in a futuristic prison as imagined in the early ’90s, I was released from my imprisonment at the beginning of the summer, and given one main directive: to recapture the fuck out of Wesley Snipes, after he miraculously escaped the same prison, where he was also incarcerated, but not for tax evasion (this time). Probably. Using an arsenal of explosives, a take-no-shit attitude, and a seemingly insatiable appetite for demolition and give-no-fuck-ery, I pursued Wesley Snipes for roughly 71 minutes, aided by Sandra Bullock and a backpack full of badass. During a particularly explosion-raped car-chase, I began to lose sight of my target. In a rage, I did the most logical thing possible: Inserted Miasma into my car’s newfangled compact disc-reader-player-thing, and skipped forward until I heard a song open with a throaty “I just walked in and saw my mom decapitated and crucified, and have been sent into a homicidal rage” scream. It took exactly 2 songs. The song “Flies” became the anthem to my summer at that moment, giving me that extra shot of audio-violence needed to barrel-roll my way into the fucking “Record Book of Epic Shit”. If that’s not a thing, it should be. With a new soundtrack of annihilation, various other not-so-family-friendly unorthodox methods, and a lack of giving even half a shit about collateral damage, I eventually brought Wesley Snipes to justice, and immediately proceeded to mount Sandra Bullock on the hood of a half-demolished police car, because fuck you, that’s why.

  • Aaron Gray

    I awoke upon a sea of corpses. Blood had caked upon my flesh and upon the hardened ground, etching dark rivers over the rotting landscape. I gazed upon the faces beneath me, vacant eyes staring unto the stars. Fires blazed all around me, adding light to a blackened sky. Shadows bloomed among the rubble and ashes, strewn upon the crimson mud. My head pounded and my limbs were like lead as I begin to wade through the dead, groping for the hilltop in front of me, the only place untainted. Strength degraded, I reached the hilltop and looked on the scene below me, men entangled in the sickening dance of death. Clear songs rang out from their blades, and the cries of the fallen laid upon my ears as I began the descent into the midst of them. I was immediately dragged into the fray, forced to defend against a wave of men, exhausted and desperate. Too soon did my blade become drenched in their life, rusted iron enveloped with viscous gore. The muscles in my arm burned with each defense, sinews seemingly torn from their marrowed embrace. I did not know how long I could continue, one more drooping figure in the pale light of dawn. At times, like the tides, the men would ebb and flow, short respites given to the dead and the damned, until the swell would crash against us once again. Time had stood still and I was numb with fear but still I fought on. My mind had become detached from my physical body, concerned only with key movements and not pain; parry, riposte, thrust, repeating endlessly for what seemed eternity. Abruptly, a voice penetrated my isolated psyche and I turned to its origin. A man stood, bedecked in armor of the most brilliant colors, cerulean, crimsons and shades of gold, the purples of silk encapsulating his prestige and glory. My damaged mind began to recollect earlier events, and I knew at once this man was the Warborn, our leader. This carnage had been ongoing for many days, the results of our attempt at siege. Tearing my gaze from him, I looked round about and noticed we were not under fear of attack for the first time in so long. His voice continued to radiate, lips moving, my feebleness causing me to struggle and strain to hear his
    words:

    We are the blackness of the night,
    cold wind that cuts your flesh.
    We are the enemy praying for your certain death.
    We are what was, will be forevermore
    In the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark…
    We are the sliver in your god’s feeble hand,
    during the silent hours, the shadows we command.
    We’re the undying insect, from the deepest cracks we came
    for aeons we have lurked and for aeons we shall remain!

    At this conclusion he pointed to a towering object in the distance, the source of our agony and potential glory. A wrenching sound came from behind us followed by a tumultuous roar as stones the size of cattle were tossed by the trebuchets to our rear. The sound of splintering wood and stone carried upon the wind, invigorating our bodies. The ferver of blood lust came upon us all as we began to rush the fortress with faces grim and pale, our pain forgotten. The light of dawn dispelled the shadows as we began our attack, falling upon the tattered banners and bloody flags we carried. Stones continued to thunder into the fortress walls, decaying the already weakened defense. Shouts of rage mixed with the whir of arrows, that passed between us. We threw ourselves upon the twisted metal of the porticullis, clambering atop it and entering the fortress courtyard. No man could stand against us, and those who did, either brave or too distraught to care, were cut down with force immeasurable. We spared none and rode proudly on the winds of death, the fear of our force blinding the weak. Flames licked from the ruins hit with arrows corrupted. Into these flames we marched, reborn as our foe was eradicated.

    A thick silence descended upon us as we began the task of dispatching the dying, an identical scene to the one I had awoken to in the night. Whispers began to float among us and we formed ranks, as a man in white cloth strode upon the corpses, the blood leeching onto the hem of his robe. He is the eldest, his name has not been
    spoken in the old tongue, for centuries. Not even whispered by the old ones. He stopped upon a pile of dead men, and began to speak. A whimper escaped from the man below him. The unnamed stooped and took the man’s head in his hands and twisted violently, shattering the vertebrae in his neck, sending the man to a breathless oblivion, all the while softly singing a hymn for the wretched.

    :P, so hopefully I don’t get disqualified but my three favorite TBDM songs are Hymn for the Wretched, Warborn and To a Breathless Oblivion so they had to be included in there. Plus what is more metal than an epic battle type thing? I also included some other song references, some right from lyrics, see if you can find em all :D! (hint: a few are from black/extreme metal but that’s the only hint im giving)

      and of course the main reason why I posted this and totally forgot about; the reason these songs are my summer anthem(s) is: the story is based loosely off of the siege of Chateau Gaillard, which was taken by the French during the summer of 1204 AD. Since I am a French – Canadian, not only are the songs about summer, battles and decapitations but they are also about my culture (sort of). For this reason I convince my boss every year that I need to take the day off work for cultural recognition, and it works, most of the time. The times that it doesn’t I dress up as a warrior and complete my duties around the office. This year it happened to fall on my birthday, because I chose it to, and I received a cake that had a decapitated head and “Happy Birthday Crusader!” underneath in pig’s blood. Quite memorable if you ask me. This was followed by 4 hours of constant play of the above TBDM songs. So to summarize why this is my summer anthem: cake, warrior costume, day off work, being french – canadian, TBDM. ’nuff said.

    The anthem for my summer is Festering Fiesta by Whitechapel. Nothing is better than Mexican food and death metal.

    • http://www.warninglabelcreations.com warninglabel

      Not my favorite song of theirs, but hands down the best song title ever.

  • david passmore

    My favorite summer anthem has to be tbdm’s “what a horrible night to have a curse on”

    At seventeen I’m a young metalhead, but I wouldn’t give up the music for anything. I blast tbdm and whitechapel at every football summer lifting session and make the little hip hop kids shit themselves. Every time I go for a new max lift I put a horrible night on, it pumps me up like nothing else. I’m postponing getting my license and a football camp just to come see summer slaughter in august, and I can’t fucking wait.

  • paul hidalgo

    Tbdm for me is I’m charming (miasma album) because I let my cock talk for me
    And for whitechapel .. bleeding violence (a new era of corruption) bc once a man became an beast he will make the whole summer into a slaughter

  • trevor m

    I love bdm but the soundtrack to every single summer I have is Prostatic Fluid Asphyxiation by whitechapel because I’m taking it deep from my work 84 hours a week until October. I took tomorrow off to see Summer Slaughter in Detroit, and they gave me the hassle. Last day off until October 13. Oh well time to suck the summers dick. They’re just lucky my summer song isn’t breeding violence…..

    I have a pretty good background with The Black Dahlia Murder as they were one of my introductory experiences in extreme metal, and one of the first metal songs I learned on guitar was their cover of “Paint it Black.”

    I guess you could say I went through a phase with these guys there for about 6 months where I would listen to different songs from “Miasma” and “Unhallowed,” but I soon moved on to other bands. It would not be until they released “Nocturnal,” which was seminal in solidifying their sound, that I Will Return, I thought, to a former favorite once more. I listened to this album nonstop, and I can’t really say why…aside from the fact that it just clicked with me. Not only did this mark the advent of the sound they would build on for the next few years, but it introduced me to melodic death metal in a new way. I began to truly seek out other bands that they were influenced by. At the Gates are an obvious example, and furthermore, I found myself loving them as well and learned some of their other songs on guitar as well.

    I guess you could say that they’ve been a favorite of mine ever since, not just for the music, but for the knowledge of everything those guys put into it.

    Now, for my summer song selection. It would most definitely have to be a tie between Of Darkness Spawned and Blood in the Ink. The morbid tone and imagery of the two songs have fed my creative imagination many times in shape of my personal writings and inspiration.

    I also know that I have a journey before me to give credence to passing of ages; my transition into manhood. When I do embark on my journey abound On Stirring Seas of Salted Blood, only to Conspire with the Damned, it is surely true that The Black Dahlia Murder will be my thematic soundtrack.

    Upon approaching shores of Necropolis and ascending to the Picquerist’s Den, I will remove my Deathmask Divine to Worship Only what The Black Dahlia Murder Bleed: My life transcending boundaries of of the spiritual realm, performing my Ritual; to start anew the tune of some of the best fucking metal of our time.

    Miasma all day!!! I live in jersey so as im sure u all know (thanks to the souless producers at m t v) that “its just another peace of shit” after another out here in the summer… They polute our beaches, clog up our roads, fight our locals, and harass our women on a regular basis and we’re left to clean up the mess, fucking savages… The only solace I get is blasting some dahlia and telling them what I really think about them ( plus scaring all the families with all the “evil” music. They hear it n think I’m the bad guy but it’s really them who are the pieces of shit

    Whitechapel’s “To All That Are Dead”
    I was listening to it during a Machine Head mosh so that I wanted to punch some people! They didn’t know how to mosh, so I showed ‘em how because of that song.

  • Will Matica

    My anthem is Deathmask Divine cause it just absolutely destroys. The double bass and solos in it just blow me away. Black Dahlia, you guys kick ass at the melodic soloing over the heavy as hell shit. I’ve read about how hard both Whitechapel and Black Dahlia work at being great at their instruments and it inspires me so much in my own playing. Hell yeah, see you guys at Summer Slaughter!

  • Sucia Mendez

    The Somatic Defilement- White (fucking) Chapel is the song of the fucking summer. Ahh all those summer nights going out with the love off my life Cramer and turning every body that falls into our laps into pathetic lifeless mush. Yeah I’d say The Somatic Defilement is the song of my summer because it bonds me and my fucking brootal fuck for a boyfriend. Fuck these other comments

    Id have to say Blood In The Ink by The Black Dahlia Murder is my anthem. Ive been a fan since unhallowed came out and have seen them probably 10+ in 9 years. The reason i chose blood in the ink is because last year they came to pittsburgh with obscura and augury and of course they were incredible. They were playing Black Valor and I was moshing in the pit, was tripped and stepped on turns out i had broken my ankle and my foot but i kept moshing the entire rest of the show. I also got a tattoo that says Unhallowed in tribute to the band itself and to commemorate the first album from such an incredible band which is why i chose Blood in the Ink for the lyrics:
    “You’ve broken your bones in violent ritual. Tattooed black your flesh in our name”

    They have literally changed my life, they were my first experience with death metal which is now a huge part of my life.

    I would have to say singlefile to dehumanization by whitechapel. Cause Ive been listening to it non stop ever since I got the album new era of corruption, and the the lyrics make me calm when I’m pissed and so does the instruments. The song keeps me from killing my step dad lol. And not trying to be a wimp or anything I don’t think I won anything in my life and I would love to use this guitar to piss off my step dad by turning my amp all the way up and jam. Well anyways that’s All for now.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Anderson/1583225469 Mark Anderson

    With the release of Ritual, I would choose “Carbonized in Cruciform” by to be my favorite song. Not only does it make me feel like I’m on a giant sized chess board watching a sword fight between Trevor and Mozart, but it also makes me feel like I’m on a giant sized checker board watching Ryan and Brian battle Beethoven, and they are all just writing shit battling kind of like battling the devil on guitar hero, except not gay. Actually the opposite of gay. Because the song makes you feel like your spiraling into hell and all the mole people are wearing Black Dahlia Murder shirts and banging their heads so hard their glasses fall off into the sacrificial stew which licks up the crevices of hell. But this whole time, Shannon and Bart are battling Schubert in a castle dining room, and its like notes instead of lightsabres. But all the strings involved in this extravaganza, ARE lightsabres. Not really, that wouldn’t make sense, they just look like them. They glow and shit.

    The anthem for my summer is of course “I Will Return” by The Black Dahlia Murder off of the album Deflorate. There’s nothing like showing all the people who think you’re not good enough to go to college than blasting this in their faces as a big ol’ “FUCK YOU.” Not only is The Black Dahlia Murder my favorite band and I get to see them thrash the fuck out on this year’s Summer Slaughter, but they have also created one of the songs that encourages me to get out there and fuck college right in the ass.

    ANTHEM OF SUMMER 2011-The Black Dahlia Murder- “Miasma”:

    The Summer in this year of our Lord, 2011 AD, created a stir of noxious pollutants and brutal heat that blanketed the eastern coast of our United States. This Miasma forced the sweltering masses to the confines of their quarters to escape the relentless fury of the heathen whore they name “Summer”.

    I tell you, this summer has been crazy, first off, EVERYTHING WENT BLACK literally the other night when my power went out and it was A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE as I couldn’t see shit and continously tripped over all sorts of shit. My girlfriend at the time decided she was going to tell me she was VIRALLY YOURS which spells doctor visit, if you know what I mean. Hopefully you are lucky enough to not. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love her as I worship only what you bleed, but anything that bleeds for 7 days and doesn’t die is something definitely not trust worthy. The funny thing is, she is a NOCTURNAL creature and tends to be into some kinky shit at those hours. She likes to wear something that she calls a “DEATHMASK DIVINE”. They play a little game with a safe word that you can’t really pronounce so its not really safe in my eyes. He partner (female) are something out OF DARKNESS SPAWNED and you can hear them going at it until CLIMATIC DEGRADATION. They are into that choking shit which sometimes put them into a coma, like TO A BREATHLESS OBLIVION. I am lucky enough that she hasn’t had a child because I tell you what, that child would be WARBORN.

    I awoke upon a sea of corpses, the stench reaching my nostrils in the warm summer air. Blood had caked upon my flesh and upon the hardened ground, etching dark rivers over the rotting landscape. I gazed upon the faces beneath me, vacant eyes staring unto the stars. Fires blazed all around me, adding light to a blackened sky. Shadows bloomed among the rubble and ashes, strewn upon the crimson mud. My head pounded and my limbs were like lead as I begin to wade through the dead, groping for the hilltop in front of me, the only place untainted. Strength degraded, I reached the hilltop and looked on the scene below me, men entangled in the sickening dance of death. Clear songs rang out from their blades, and the cries of the fallen laid upon my ears as I began the descent into the midst of them. I was immediately dragged into the fray, forced to defend against a wave of men, exhausted and desperate. Too soon did my blade become drenched in their life, rusted iron enveloped with viscous gore. The muscles in my arm burned with each defense, sinews seemingly torn from their marrowed embrace. I did not know how long I could continue, one more drooping figure in the pale light of dawn. At times, like the tides, the men would ebb and flow, short respites given to the dead and the damned, until the swell would crash against us once again. Time had stood still and I was numb with fear but still I fought on. My mind had become detached from my physical body, concerned only with key movements and not pain; parry, riposte, thrust, repeating endlessly for what seemed eternity. Abruptly, a voice penetrated my isolated psyche and I turned to its origin. A man stood, bedecked in armor of the most brilliant colors, cerulean, crimsons and shades of gold, the purples of silk encapsulating his prestige and glory. My damaged mind began to recollect earlier events, and I knew at once this man was the Warborn, our leader. This carnage had been ongoing for many days, the results of our attempt at siege. Tearing my gaze from him, I looked round about and noticed we were not under fear of attack for the first time in so long. His voice continued to radiate, lips moving, my feebleness causing me to struggle and strain to hear his words:
    We are the blackness of the night,
    cold wind that cuts your flesh.
    We are the enemy praying for your certain death.
    We are what was, will be forevermore
    In the stillest hours we awaken, enshrouded in the dark…
    We are the sliver in your god’s feeble hand,
    during the silent hours, the shadows we command.
    We’re the undying insect, from the deepest cracks we came
    for aeons we have lurked and for aeons we shall remain!

    At this conclusion he pointed to a towering object in the distance, the source of our agony and potential glory. A wrenching sound came from behind us followed by a tumultuous roar as stones the size of cattle were tossed by the trebuchets to our rear. The sound of splintering wood and stone carried upon the wind, invigorating our bodies. The ferver of blood lust came upon us all as we began to rush the fortress with faces grim and pale, our pain forgotten. The light of dawn dispelled the shadows as we began our attack, falling upon the tattered banners and bloody flags we carried. Stones continued to thunder into the fortress walls, decaying the already weakened defense. Shouts of rage mixed with the whir of arrows, that passed between us. We threw ourselves upon the twisted metal of the porticullis, clambering atop it and entering the fortress courtyard. No man could stand against us, and those who did, either brave or too distraught to care, were cut down with force immeasurable. We spared none and rode proudly on the winds of death, the fear of our force blinding the weak. Flames licked from the ruins hit with arrows corrupted. Into these flames we marched, reborn as our foe was eradicated.

    A thick silence descended upon us as we began the task of dispatching the dying, an identical scene to the one I had awoken to in the night. Whispers began to float among us and we formed ranks, as a man in white cloth strode upon the corpses, the blood leeching onto the hem of his robe. He is the eldest, his name has not been spoken in the old tongue, for centuries. Not even whispered by the old ones. He stopped upon a pile of dead men, and began to speak. A whimper escaped from the man below him. The unnamed stooped and took the man’s head in his hands and twisted violently, shattering the vertebrae in his neck, sending the man to a breathless oblivion, all the while softly singing a hymn for the wretched.

    This happened in the summer of the year 1034, back in the first crusade so I celebrate it by listening to three TBDM songs round the clock: To a Breathless Oblivion, Hymn for the Wretched, and Warborn. It’s a large part of my culture, so I also take the day off of work. This year it happened to fall on my birthday, so the cake that I received was a decapitated head with a “Happy Birthday Crusader!” written in blood underneath. It made me very happy :D. For this reason, these three songs are my summer (and cultural) anthem!

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love her as I worship only what you bleed, but anything that bleeds for 7 days and doesn’t die is something definitely not trust worthy. The funny thing is, she is a NOCTURNAL creature and tends to be into some kinky shit at those hours. She likes to wear something that she calls a “DEATHMASK DIVINE”. They play a little game with a safe word that you can’t really pronounce so its not really safe in my eyes. He partner (female) are something out OF DARKNESS SPAWNED and you can hear them going at it until CLIMATIC DEGRADATION. They are into that choking shit which sometimes put them into a coma, like TO A BREATHLESS OBLIVION. I am lucky enough that she hasn’t had a child because I tell you what, that child would be WARBORN.

    My theme song of this summer would have to be Devolver by Whitechapel, due to all of the fucked up shit happening right now it is the perfect song to rage at the world to. Plus it sounds bad ass. With the breathtaking lows, kick ass guitars, and ingenious lyrical content. Rock on Whitechapel and keep putting out brutal ass music!

    My summer anthem would have to be “On Stirring Seas of Salted Blood” off of the Black Dahlia Murder’s “Ritual.” I have to say that “On Stirring Pots of Salted Blood” might be more fitting due to my new East Asian derived diet and my plan of action for controlling the overpopulation of cats in my area. I have to give credit to the kind-hearted people of the Orient, you sure know how to make pussy (cats) taste good.

    Flies. I see them everywhere when im working ungodly long shifts at mcdonalds. Flies are everywhere. Even on the computer screens! “The smell of vomit hangs in the air tonight”. Man, it smells like vomit in the back of the store. It makes me want to die. A fat woman is also allowed to sit in a chair and work while i have to stand. “Slow internal suicide” Humanity is doomed.

    “Breeding Violence” by Whitechapel. With it’s winding vocal rhythms and vicious grooves, this is the ‘Chapel song that’s been getting the most attention in my car stereo this summer. But enough with this descriptive bullshit, time to go take a dump…. It’s so fucking relaxing. Oh no, not Whitechapel, i was talking about my shit. Yeah anyway, Breeding Violence makes me want to thrash shit up. And this guitar would make that thrashing turn into fucking metal. Fuck yeah.

    “On Stirring Seas of Salted Blood”
    This song is my summer anthem because of the memories to be had, blasting it in my friends Hyundai. He just graduated from UF, getting his bachelors degree in Mathematics, and we are making the 4 and a half hour trip from Tampa to Ft. Lauderdale to go and jam the fuck out with 9 bad ass bands and enjoy the rest of the road trip getting my homie laid after 4 years of hardcore book grinding. :)

    Deathmask Divine – It reminds me of a summer romance I had down by the shore. Alas, our paths led us in different directions; I was headed back north to finish my final semester, and she was slowly decomposing in room 112 of the Ocean City Budget Lodge. Still, whenever I hear a wave crashing, I remember her name, and I’m forced to gaze at the missing person photo they handed out at her pre-school.

It makes me love Amurrica even more then I did before I bent over Hydra and rutted them up their ass holes. Oh and Iron Man is a pussy.

    Im sure anyone reading this can agree with the fact that theres no better time in the world to sit outside in nature and get high as space, then the summer. hot-ass days to go do shinnanigans with your friends, and warm nights to get wasted around a bonfire. recently sence the june 21st release of ritual i find myself saying every night before i go out “ok billy, let us go on this evining for pleasure, for the night is still young”. A shring to madness is the perfect summer anthem because it sounds like the start of an epic journey (whitch is what summer days should be anyway). i have got my sex on, smoke on, drink on, trip on, and i drive with it blasting all summer. this song has made my summer the shit man, the SHIT. so i think you should all get high, go to taco bell(or kfc) and jam that shit the whole way. A Shrine To Madness.

    My anthem for the summer is “Nocturnal” because that is what I have become since I am on the computer so much listening to the new Decapitated, Hate Eternal, Fleshgod Apocalypse…and reading the latest MetalSucks articles! :)

    My anthem of 2010 was the entire Whitechapel “A New Era of Corruption” CD, the entire thing is a metal masterpeice. This summer, 2011, I would have to say that Moonlight Equilibrium has fueled my summer. I took it upon myself to learn a new song on the guitar and this is the song I chose, and the entire ritual album fucking rocks my dick off every time i give it a spin in my cd player. Moonlight Equilibrium is a work of art as far as im concerned

  • http://www.facebook.com/ed.messina1 Ed Messina

    I would have to say any Black Dahlia song is an Anthem Of The Summer for me. They are all very well written and each tells a story, some with historical backgrounds, others with a very creative and interesting story. All the music is absolutely brilliant and each song is only bested by the next. All songs and albums stay close to their roots and yet bring something more to the table with every note played form the guitars, hit of the drum, and screech from Trevor’s vocals. All BDM songs are the anthem to my summer and I will sing them proudly. Viva La Summer Slaughter and Black Dahlia Murder. m/

    Summer anthem: “Carbonized in Cruciform” by The Black Dahlia Murder

    This summer I worked at a chemical plant. It’s a lot of boring engineers, so it gets pretty dull after hours and hours of safety calculations and calibrations.

    So after getting “Ritual,” I started playing it in my iPod at work non-stop. Long story short, I took one of my sister’s Barbie dolls and re-enacted “Carbonized in Cruciform’s” lyrics in one of our 5-liter combustion vessels.

    First I broke Barbie’s shoulder joints so I could put her arms in “CRUCIFORM” position… stuck nails through her hands and feet, and put her in one of her black gown outfits.

    Then I threw her in the reactor and combusted her at 1300 degrees F. Unfortunately there’s no viewing window on the tank, but all that was left was a steaming black blob of gunk. I felt it was pretty true to the song.

    None of my coworkers are metal in the least, so I definitely made some waves with my little stunt… but it was the defining moment of my summer for sure.

    “Dave Goes to Hollywood” by The Black Dahlia Murder because free drinks shall not kill us. THEY ONLY WARM OUR FUCKING BONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Eric

    Blood In The Ink has been my summer anthem, cause it’s a lot easier to carry your parents bodies out to the dumpster cause everyone’s inside soaking up the air conditioning, and only Satan could conjure up the heat advisories we’ve been having, so he won’t have to travel far to collect my body for my eternal servitude in a realm of damnation. On a more realistic note, this song is what is making me take the 7 hour drive to Chicago for the Summer Slaughter tour. It reminds me how fucking amazing The Black Dahlia Murder is live, and how good their music is. As soon as I saw the signature line in the cd booklet, I wrote my name covered with as many 666′s as I could. HAIL SATAN.

    Ever since Ritual came out, I found myself everyday walking to work with the headphones on listening to this song on repeat. Headbanging, right hand trying hard as fack to try and follow those crazy guitar riffs. Being a guitarist myself at age 26, played for 12 yrs, the riffage in that song just soo godamn motherfuckin jesus christ on a bicycle fuckin catchy . It just really pumped me up for work, put me in a good mood and just overall have a great shift! So i guess you could say Malenchanments of the Necrophere was the fuel to, my fire, the wing’s from my Redbull, or The Anthem for my Summer :D

  • Andrew Loving

    When I play Xbox Live I listen to music and I was playing Dead Space 2 and a Suicide Silence song came on and I started doing poorly, then three Whitechaple songs came on in a row: Ear to Ear, The Father of Lies and Messiahbolical. And I noticed I started playing better as the Whitechaple songs came on and by the time Messiahbolical came on I was at the top of my game, I got like a 65 kill streak and dismembered 116 limbs and got a 6.66 k/d ratio, pretty much a sign saying that Whitechapel is the only thing to listen to while killing necros.

    The Whitechapel track ‘Unnerving’ from the album A New Era Of Corruption. It’s not even Summer yet in Australia, it’s actually Winter at present, but after firing up Unnerving it’s like Whitechapel are telling Winter to get fucked, because the sun comes out, it starts getting hot and sprinklers are going off left, right and centre. Everybody is getting really wet and it’s all because of Whitechapel.

    Besides, it’s pretty much the definition of Death Metal in the form of one song anyway. (LULZ TROLLS GONNA TROLL Y’ALL)

    A thousand faps shall be had if I get that guitar. I shall post a cover on youtube of me playing it on that guitar with Whitechapel “Rockstar moves” also of course.

  • Kimberly Harless

    The favorite song and anthem of my summer is the song titled “Eternal Refuge” by WhiteChapel. Why is it my favorite? Here’s why: Phil has a fucking amazing growl, plus, the song reflects how each of us have a demon inside waiting to get free and take over us. The stench of death circles around us every day. Until one day we realize that we’re the ones that are dead and possessed by the wrath of anger and the wrath from this planet. The world is turning to shit and we all know it. We are becoming part of the plan when all shall die, where we will be held in an eternal refuge of hate and pain. The possession of our souls will be sealed with the fate of a doomed world with no where to go anymore. We will wither in agony and death. We will roll around on dead bodies, eating their flesh off, and sucking the last bits of blood out of their veins. We will soon beg for peace of our souls and for this world to suffer no more from the doom and darkness awakening to possess this planet. The lies everybody speaks of will challenge people and what they believe in. The world is an eternal refuge of hate and sin; we forever are stuck in the eternal refuge of this hell.

    The black dahlia murder – moonlight equilibrium

    When i heard black dahlia was writing a new record i got fuckin pumped. so i slapped on my black dahlia t-shirt and grabbed the long-board and went searching for all my buddys to spread the word. I told my one buddy when he was hittin a bing and he choked hard, he couldnt believe it eather lol. Then after a while moonlight equilibrium came on serious – liquid metal and we all creamed our cocks, what a mess i tell ya, but hearing that song changed me from WANTING this album to NEEDING it. It was like a taste of crack and i need more, so i went and bought Ritual that day and bin cleaning up cum ever since. Moonlight Equilibrium is my summer anthem because it made me find some money and take the mouth away from the bong to go out and pick up Ritual. \m/ METAL \m/

    Death Panorama – TBDM

    I had a rough experience last year. Made a big mistake.
    My friends helped me through my troubles.
    I learned a lot, and realized that “the man that I once was; I have left him behind”
    The old me died over a year ago, and I played that song so much last summer.
    Here I am a year later, still learning, enjoying life more, loving metal music more, and
    still playing this song.

    What a great concept to write about, with these words able to be interpreted so many different ways.

    All hail TBDM.

    THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER – CLIMATIC DEGRADATION

    This IS my summer anthem! WHY? It causes my fists to clench and my teeth to grind. It gets my young, black running blood boiling to a point of animosity and violence. And pshh; why wouldn’t it be my summer anthem? It includes the top three activities I partake in summer; suffocating, ripping, and raping.

    This is what metal is all about.

  • d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n.

    My anthem for the summer is “Death Becomes Him” by Whitechapel. “Death Becomes Him” is an instrumental tune and I picked this song because Whitechapel usually has some killer songs that are ruined by the vocals, but “Death Becomes Him” is a sweet summertime tune that is unhindered by subpar vocals.

    In fact, I think the other members of Whitechapel should start a new band and call themselves White Castle. That way, I can spend my summers listening to some tasty instrumental tunes while chowing down on some tasty burgers.

    Dear Metalsucks,

    My name is Kevin. I’m 13.

    “Everything Went Black” is my metal anthem for the summer. Me and my friends even made up a game for it!!! Here’s what we do!

    We wait until my parents go to Olive Garden. Then we tell my sister to leave. She’s 17. So she can drive to her boyfriend’s.

    Then, we run down to the basement. We drink a bunch of energy drinks like Red Bull. Or like a Rockstar in those giant cans. Then, we put “Everything Went Black” on the stereo. And we turn out the lights because that’s the name of the song!

    Me and my friends slam all around and jump off the couch. We crush stuff and make shake our fists around and once Kyle even broke the ceiling fan a little bit! But Mom didn’t even notice!!!!

    When the song is over we turn on the lights again and everything is trashed. There’s like books on the floor. And maybe like our shirts got a little ripped and stuff. It’s METAL!!

    I sure need that guitar. I promise I won’t break it when we play our game.

    Yours,
    Kevin

    I have had such a Boner for whitechapel this entire summer. The weird thing about this song is whenever my friends put it on My whitechapel boner violently bursts all over friends basement and we end up starting a circle pit in his basement.(Mind you we are all stoned out of our minds at this point). In fact at one point i gave my friend a black eye when i informed him “I’d Slit his Thoat” like the song demands haha oops. \m/

    I may be “Built For Sin”, but “I’m Charming”. From burning a church down while getting away in a school bus full of jello wresting girls, to getting me and a pal into our local red lobster for free with simply a smile, i think these songs together represent my summer. Built for sin is the buildup to whatever charm i need to apply.At the beginning of my summer, i wouldn’t jump off a bridge 15 feet above water, but after listening to I’m charming, this fuckhead will kick an old ladies ass out of a her own wheelchair,onlyt to jump it from 50 feet up and bury myself deep in the sea of corruption. “I’ve become another victim
    Of this self-serving device
    My cock does all the talking
    My mouth now just for lie”. I didn’t become a little whore with some real balls until this summer when i really got into you guys and figured out how to let my cock pave the way, after that it has been smooth sailing in sinful acts that need charm to be able to slam box, fucking nummy! This summer I have many put hours of my time into playing your songs on my trusty axe, and many hours just listening to your work while enjoying it. My summer has been all about being naughty, but yet looking nice and innocent. Fuckin a, thankfully, the average Dipshit judges by looks, or i’d be fucked this summer. I have had to charm so many cops at 3 in the morning, while being drunk, and underage, on top recently pulling the valve stem out of my neighbors car tire haha. When i think back to the summer of 2011, i will hear built for sin, and i’m charming, because that has stuck with me like a fly on shit, and has definitely been the most applicable. You guys are METAL as fuck!!!! Enjoy the rest of your tour

  • Dustin Goes To Hollywood

    I’m gonna keep this short because I could go on for hours about this, but quite simply, the anthem of my summer, nay, my life is I Will Return by TBDM.

    Why? It divides the lines between completely metal-as-fuck riffs and lyrics with a somewhat silly idea of cryogenics. The chorus is fucking heavy as hell, and nothing gets me more pumped than the line “Heresy: some say it’s blasphemy. Assuring I’ll be in Hell when God is through with me”. So much, I just got back from the tattoo parlor this weekend with this:

    http://i53.tinypic.com/21l0ih0.jpg

    My family was not too happy with me.

    Anyway, this sing is so appropriately epic, and I’m glad they chose to end Deflorate with it. It certainly makes me wanna listen to the whole CD again once it fades out. I saw TBDM back in Feb ’09 in ATL, and they closed with this song. It was very, very rewarding.

    So here’s hoping they’ll play it again when I go see them next week for SS’11 \m/

    This summer’s anthem is “Devirgination Studies”. Why? Because my “playing shows” cherry has been popped. Yup the Scarlet Demise (my band) is now officially gigging. Oh and our recording cherry has been popped too…..unfortunately the devirgination that matters is still a work in progress…as such I need a sexy guitar to make the zombie chicks dig me so I can exhume them into “vile acts”. Yeah man….have a very brutal suckish summer

    My summer anthem is Statutory Ape by The Black Dahlia Murder. Why? simple. There is nothing like going ape during the summer. Plus its a fun and challenging slaughter of a tune to jam out to on a guitar. I could see myself shredding it out on that ESP. As for Summer Slaughter fans… See you fuckers in the pit.

  • Chuck Boris

    TBDM’s “Contagion”. Exactly 8 years ago, when UNHALLOWED came out, I started listening to this band. I remember when I saw their picture in a metal magazine. I laughed so hard, because you just couldn’t imagine that guys that looked so hilarous could play so fucking great. Their music came somewhere in between Decapitated and At The Gates, and it was just what I wanted to hear at that time. Needless to say that UNHALLOWED was spinning in my player the whole summer. And to this day, UNHALLOWED remains my favorite TBDM album, and one of my all time favorites. When I hear “Contagion”, I want to bash somebody and jump of something. It really “murders”!

    I think my anthem for the summer is I Will Return by The Black Dahlia Murder because every Summer Slaughter a mosh monster appears, raises hell & rages in the pit. When the tour ends it says “I Will Return next year for SUMMER SLAUGHTER!!!”

    I had a way better reason that this was my summer anthem when you guys switched back from this format, same story just a better reason. Hopefully you guys can still see that one, but regardless, I hope it’s creative enough!

    My… Favorite Summer Anthem! -…. i love both bands they are incredile live, i have went to 10 concerts of whitechapel and they are awesome , so i think that i like more whitechalpel than TBDM , my favorite song is: To All That Are Dead – This is exile
    that song was so catchy!!… i use to listen to it 2 or 3 times a day now, but when I discovered the band i used to listen to The Somatic Defilement and This is exile in one day. I love that song because the lyrics are original,, they talk about a assasin that stalkes you (MAYBE JACK THE RIPPER) and that he is one with the dead and he is the nightmares etc,.  i hope i win cuz,,, i love whitechapel!… and also love TBM
