Everblack is the sixth studio album by American death 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] Everblack was recorded at various studios: drums at Rustbelt Studios, guitar and bass parts at Regal Fecal as well as lead guitar and vocal parts at Audiohammer Studios. Former bassist Ryan Williams is served as co-producer and engineer for the album. The cover art was created by artist Nick Keller.
