The Black Dahlia Murder‘s recent summer European touring provided the visuals for their newly released “Panic Hysteric” music video. Robbie Tassaro oversaw the direction of that clip, which follows this past Friday’s (September 27th) release of the group’s new album “Servitude“. That record is of course the first from the Michigan-based melodic death metal band to feature Brian Eschbach on lead vocals in place of the late Trevor Strnad.
Eschbach said of the origins of the song’s lyrics:
“Lyrically, it’s a tribute to the fear and outrage that rock ‘n’ roll ignited in mid-century America. I was reading quotes from Frank Sinatra, who really didn’t like rock ‘n’ roll, and was pretty eloquent about it. I quoted him a couple of times in the song. That was a fun Sunday writing those lyrics. I’m not gonna lie — vodkas and Shirley Temples were involved.”
