| | The Black Dahlia Murder: Miasma - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | Consequently, hearing the BDM's high-energy, slightly more traditional metal antics can be especially refreshing, after dozens of young bands who awkwardly chunk away at their guitars while hollering cliched nonsense in hoarse-voiced fits of suburban white boy rage. |
 | | The line between metals death and fl has been blurring more and more as of late, most recently by Poland's Behemoth, whose ingenious Demigod masterfully swipes characteristics from both sides to create a stunning hybrid, and The Black Dahlia Murder seem bent on pulling a similar stunt on their new album, Miasma. |
 | | Considering how metalcore bands tend to use vocalists who rely on the same old hardcore barking, The Black Dahlia Murder add a refreshing twist to the proceedings, and the fact that both vocal styles are provided by one person, in the form of the insanely versatile Trevor Strnad, makes it all the more impressive. |
