Quote :: "On the eve of our December tour with friends Misery Index and Soilent Green, we in The Black Dahlia Murder are faced with a heartbreaking dilemma: John K. has abruptly left the fold and refuses to accompany us on the tour. We are left with no choice but to carry on with the dates as a four piece. The remaining members of the band apologize for these unprofessional circumstances, but we feel that it is best to go through with the tour and not disappoint the other bands as well as the fans who are looking forward to these shows. Please come out and show some Black Dahlia love in our hour of need."

Quote :: The search is over for THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER. About a month ago, the band revealed that guitarist John Kempainen had abruptly left the band and the band was forced to start their tour with MISERY INDEX and SOILENT GREEN as a four piece.

During a recent interview with HARDTIMES.CA, frontman Trevor Strnad revealed that the band have found a replacement in former ARSIS guitarist Ryan Knight. Says Strnad:

He shreds, man. We've been sending him new songs from the [upcoming] album — we've got four songs so far — and he sent them back and just shredded them into pieces. So I have a boner right now. [Laughs] I'm so excited to fucking play with this kid. We've toured with them before, we've toured with ARSIS, and we know he's cool. It's hard, because we love ARSIS, but he was already leaving them. He was actually… Some people were gonna hook him up with DEICIDE, but we swept him just in time.
