Extreme metal group Black Dahlia Murder have announced that ex All That Remains drummer Shannon Lucas will be joining the band. The band are currently writing new material for an album due out later this year.

Vocalist Trevor Strnad adds:
"There's going to be a lot more soloing than we've done previously. This record's a bit more European-sounding, I think. More so than we already were, if you can imagine that. The solo stuff has a black metal ish flavor to it. We messed around with that a little bit previously, but some of the songs have a major DISSECTION kind of feel to them"
