The Black Dahlia Murder "Moonlight Equilibrium" (OFFICIAL SONG)

[WhiteWalls75]

holy crap. this is amazing

[RythmicalParoxysm]

Saw 'em last night in Lille, shit was so unbelievably cash.

[Hendrik13252]

I bought the cd two days ago. AND ITS SO FUCKING TIGHT :) !

[quitschbo]

i must always lough when people say music like tbdm this is no music, but when it's played on acoustic they would like it... stupid

[IsaacInsane]

i like ryan knights style better than their old guitarist, especially solos

[UninsaneRocker]

@IsaacInsane Me too. I mean I loved their old guitarist haha and their old shit is amazing, but Ryan Knight is wayyyyyy better.

[parthbla000]

nothing of theirs will ever beat Nocturnal. BUT! this is pretty good stuff. but so was deflorate.

[darylguitar21]

@parthbla000 Agreed, I feel as if the new guitarist can shred better fo sho. BUT his writing isn't as brutal. One note can have way more meaning than ripping through a 100 in 2 seconds.

[GruesomeGertie]

this album is probably their worst, it has a lot of recycled riffs... (note: I said a lot, not "only")

[PeZuY]

Awesome band is awesome.

[RodZerg]

Suicide Silence / The Black Dahlia Murder / As Blood Runs Black / Job For A Cowboy / Parkway Drive / All Shall Perish .... are the kings!

[welluhya]

Tbdm is the only original band out of all the ones I named

TV

[EXIDEBANDENGLAND]

im sick of shitty false metal why dont all u wannabees go listen to some rainbow

LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL!!!

[teheno]

this songs blowing up black spirxxt

[unholyfleshironjesus]

Best Album yet!!!!

[LordNaught]

I want to eat a child. And then go listen to this song. And eat another one to this song.

[ShallowDepression]

@LordNaught +1

[IDUNTSKNOW]

this band is getting more and more satanic not that its bad just saying ha

[squishyfaceguy]

@IDUNTSKNOW they just said they wanted a darker theme for the album is all. every song is about a different ritual. like theyre about specific crimes and evil things like sacrifices, rape, necrophelia, murder etc.

[xBuiltToBlastx]

This artwork is horrible, It reminds me of The Emperors New Groove.

[6Mega6Man6]

@xBuiltToBlastx That movie was awesome

[xBuiltToBlastx]

@6Mega6Man6 Shut up, You jus ruined my groove.

[cadancekela]

Best song to sing on the buss, period

[UninsaneRocker]

Honestly, this is The Black Dahlia Murder's best album since Nocturnal, and I've been listening to these guys since Unhallowed. I cannot stop listening to Ritual, it's TBDM's magnum opus, their Master of Puppets, their British Steel, their Dark Side of the Moon, as far as extreme metal goes, this album is going to go down as a classic in the genre. TBDM, you've done it. You're extreme metal gods! How's it feel to be in the company of Death, Venom, Opeth, Celtic Frost, and Behemoth?!

[nounever]

@UninsaneRocker magnum opus I agree, I love that term it's a shame all the philistines do not know what it means. I think Nocturnal is better but this is more advanced. A Shrine to Madness, Blood in the Ink, Moonlight equilibrium and Conspiring with the Damned top any song on Nocturnal.

[BrutalDeathMetal1000]

This is fucking Epic from black Dahlia Murder

[lasagna32]

3:00 "were all obese" XD

[Warborn667]

RItual, possibly the best album ever...

[zerocells]

I saw them in SF a while ago. Best fucking show I've ever been to. SO energetic.

[xkruulx]

Wander when they are making a video for this album.

[oldgregg725]

@xkruulx they made a vid for this song but havnt realeased it yet. they need to soon though

[GaiaofMetal]

Lol, I love the song, and TBDM, but I have to lawl at the fact that the entire video is and advertisement xD

[Skkitzzo86]

@GaiaofMetal well at the time this video came out the album wasn't out yet. This was one of the first official songs to be sneak peaked, and therefore just listening to the song was amazing enough to sit through a 3:30 commercial.

[takidaah]

I fucking love this song.

It's the best song ever made and.. gaaaargh. it's just so fucking awesome.

marry me!

[Chriskincaid155]

best song/album/band... no one can top them there perfect

[UnseenAGT]

They have gained so much musical skill over the years its not even funny.

[JohnnyBMoney]

@ nounever

Its easy First you sign in blood on the book that came with your CD

Second: You sacrifice a smal goat,or any animal but goats are preferred

Third: Find a virgin

Fourth: Have sex with said virgin

Fifth: Pat your self on the back. Acheivement Unlocked.

[ShutUpMike1234]

I will be severely disappointed if this is the only "music video" that we get from the whole album. Metal Blade really needs to start investing in their best talent.

[lasagna32]

@ShutUpMike1234

ONE of their best,can't forget as i lay dying. :D

[Kaidal1]

When I put this song to my music player...I feel like my soul is getting ripped apart.

[RazerDrummer901]

ATTENTION DISTURBED FANS: You are lost.

That is all.

[Death66reaper6]

@RazerDrummer901 i love TBDM and Disturbed. COME AT ME BRO.

[Illerkiller88]

@RazerDrummer901

Who cares its METAL!!!!

[tenhundredkills]

@RazerDrummer901 What's that all about? TBDM and Disturbed are both awesome. Just in different ways.

[mrmasterjoe23]

@tenhundredkills Disturbed are on the Decline, TBDM are on the Best time of their lives also David can't scream because of his poor injured Throat while Trevor can Scream the living balls off satan, so NO disturbed is not awesome besides if you got balls kid than stop listening to Hard rock and Become a metal head, i did the same after distubed's Asylum album and that was one of the best decisions of my life as i have never looked back since

[nnil15]

@RazerDrummer901 I don't get it

[mouth4war90]

@nnil15 Lol. then the joke was aimed at you. i dont have anything against them but i enjoyed the joke haha.

[LetsPlaySyntaxTerror]

17 people don't feel the power of the moonlight equilibrium.

[lasagna32]

@LetsPlaySyntaxTerror ...and 1 person is too stupid to come up with new jokes. ¬¬

[MrDontSmokeKids]

I definitly feel the pull

[IWreckedYourSis]

I'm going to be honest, Deflorate sucked. But this is exactly the comeback I was hoping for.

[FtLongBlackDong1]

@IWreckedYourSis I disagree. Deflorate was actually a really good album. It just wasn't as memorable as Nocturnal. If Deflorate came out before Nocturnal, I guarntee most BDM fans would've loved it.

[Idiotforbrains]

@FtLongBlackDong1 I love Deflorate. I Will Return is my favourite song ever. Necropolis is awesome as well.

[blackdahliamurder15]

this song and album is so epic

[kalloused]

TBDM is one of the VERY VERY few bands who get better with every album and new band members. They are just as hard and dark as they ever were. Ryan is such a great addition, gives them great melody.

[illdevouryourheart]

im wearing the werewolf shirt now xD

[OTOATameem]

@illdevouryourheart

YES i have that too hahaha

[illdevouryourheart]

@OTOATameem it is pretty sweet

[darkmasterpudden19]

su portada es como el calendario azteca de mexico

[BrutalDeathMetal1000]

Fucking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[666djstarscream]

This is the BEST FUCKING song off ritual! Chorus is fucking epic!

[jacobcaraway123]

So the TBDM werewolf t-shirt is pretty much inspired from this song. Sweet.

[TheRedBeard82]

@jacobcaraway123 Shirt's waaay older than the song. It's just a print from their main merchandise designer, Dan Mumford. Google him.

[Ryu12543]

@jacobcaraway123 I guess you could say it's also inspired by The Blackest Incarnation.

[endlessstoner42]

Cant wait for the music video!

[theMFBH]

meh

[atteus437]

could that video for this song come out already please?!

[BrutalDeathMetal1000]

this is AWESOME !!

[HorseSlabsRare]

BEst song from BD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[SuperTurtlemandude1]

yeah its music u either like it or not chill the fuck out u scruffy looking nerhearder

[ninjaman598]

fucking badass song

[TheMintHippoTroupe]

OOOoooooooooohhhhhh. Its a song about werewolves. Bad fuckin ass, Black Dahlia, I love you.

[nounever]

The thing is you listen to the song once like "oh its cool" second time "the chorus is really weak or really catchy" third time "OMFG this is the best fucking song in the world +10 plays a day".

[hunglikeahorse120]

@nounever everytime i see your comment dude i give it a thumbs up because its what i first thought and now i play it all the time

[polkafrenzy666]

@nounever I felt it was extremely catchy/fucking amazing the first time I heard it.

[alessandro20081994]

@nounever Its the power of the monnligth equilibrium :D

[TheKillerJok]

@nounever that happened to me xD

[hardCOREmonkyman]

R these guys like evil satanists or is it just like a theme these guys r into just wondering

[SuperMajorPsycho]

@hardCOREmonkyman It's all for fun.

[WTF2332]

This song really is phenomenal..other than one thing >.< one of the things I really loved about TBDM was that they didn't have breakdowns in their songs, and usually used solos instead. It's still great still

[nounever]

I really want to have sex with this song but I just don't know how?

[ozztenn]

@nounever It's called the ground and POUND!

[nounever]

@ozztenn the ground is not the song.

[ozztenn]

@nounever Ok what were going to need you to do is STOP TALKING! =) thanks! ! ! ! !

[polkafrenzy666]

@nounever Put the song on repeat, bang a chick. Easy.

[Kaidal1]

@nounever Mastrubate while u listen to it?

[Ryu12543]

@nounever You gotta grab it by the haunches and hump it into submission, that's the only way.

[kadajiroth7]

@nounever 1. carve hole in screen 2. place dick inside

[MindlessCOSMIN]

@nounever well ! at least u are not the only one

[poserdisposer69]

@nounever Well, you have to buy the CD and have a VERY skinny dick.

[chrispysthename323]

@poserdisposer69 Damn, my dick is like a thin crust pizza...

[poserdisposer69]

@chrispysthename323 Chicago or New York Style?

[thebigw1004]

@nounever you put your peepee in the disc drive.

[nounever]

@thebigw1004 it's not the song. I need to be an extra dimensional being for this stuff.

[JashyJ88]

Deflorate and ritual are great albums. Not much a fan of lyrics. The instrumental aspects of the songs are genius and well written. Let's hope the next album they make is even better than this cuz this kicked ass!

[thatcolorodro]

Goddamn, Trevor is a fucking boss. \m/

[NORMASHBASH]

I fucking love this song!

[MBH1995]

it took me so long to find out wat they are saying lol

[TobyNorman777]

I will say though that these lyrics make stuff most bands write look like shit a 10 year old wrote... really well thought out lyrics

[TobyNorman777]

Does anyone else think TBDM is kind of going downhill? I mean ... Nocturnal was AMAZING , Deflorate was not as good , and Ritual is even less good than Deflorate

(This song is like the best on the album , but the rest is like not even close to this)

It seems alot less... "Riff-y" and less memorable alot of this album........... anyone agree?

[AlsavierWoW]

@TobyNorman777

Shut your face.

Loljk entitled to your opinion, I love it.

I see where your coming from, as all the albums sound different.

I think it may grow on you, I didn't like deflorate at first but I really love it now.

[TobyNorman777]

@AlsavierWoW Yeah I'm late to buying this album but after FORCING myself to listen to it over 10x its definately catching on

STILL not nearly as good as Nocturnal though

[AlsavierWoW]

@TobyNorman777

On Nocturnal each song was really breath taking.

Deathmask Divine and Everything went Black are my personal favs

[upelt]

@TobyNorman777 You must not be a fan of Melodic Death Metal

[666miyuru]

@TobyNorman777 not me....this album is amazing!!!!

[deathknowz1]

@TobyNorman777 Seriously? This album is definitely their best since Nocturnal, and in my opinion, way better. It's actually gotten better overall reviews than Nocturnal.

[Melanie10901]

That's metal!!! Yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhh

[spamguy07]

@xXmEtAlFaNxJxLx and your name makes me think you're an idiot who can't discern what the fuck the shift key really does. What's in a name, really?

[cat101ism]

sick music, i take it the lyrical themes are not literal right on this record ? is it just a cool topic or are they legit evil, im a experienced metal head but new to these guys just wondering

[OpenCasket19]

@cat101ism

go listen to "the window" with lyrics by this band, and ask this again.

[hookedoncronix91]

Fleshgod apocalypse...get serious about your metal.

[DARKMINDEDSTAR]

Insanely awesome! Never lets me down.

[xwgtsilverfox666]

@spamguy07 ay? so what if they did a song on child raping, doesnt mean they agree with it? Ive heard G.W. Bush do a whole speech on 9/11, doesnt mean he.... oh wait a minute lol

[spamguy07]

@xwgtsilverfox666 I was being sarcastic, you dumb fuck.

fuck, people are retarded.

[SuperTurtlemandude1]

why does every body come on here and bitch like lil fucking cry babys dont like get the fuck out of here. nobody wants to hear u complain like a bitch just listen and shut the fuck up

[DarkFlame666]

werewolf!

[jacobthesexybitch66]

Some parts in this song, I think the guitars need to stand out more, It kind of sounds like the vocals, and stuff, are covering it a little

[123zelot]

I hope my favorite metal band is not in with the illuminati, if they are real. Their is alot of symbolism going on in the album cover and in the last song. Fuck it, regard less these guys kick a fuck ton of ass

[xlixity]

@123zelot please, stop acting like all the nutcases and enjoy this fine piece of art. people shouldn't give a fuck about senseless things like that. does it really matter? they could be zionists for all i care, their music is ace. and that is all i'm here for.

[spamguy07]

@123zelot they did a whole song about child raping. you'd better stop liking them if you're not into child-raping.

idiot.

[ItIshMehXD]

@spamguy07

what was the song? Statutory Ape?

[adarknessinme]

@ItIshMehXD the window

[DagosZeta]

Kinda reminds me of Obscura with a different touch to it. Nice.

[xXPH4GGaTr0n5o0oXx]

great song

[KittensGoBree]

This is one sick song. 0:37-0:56 is fucken amazing. Hail Trevor.

[avenelle1]

Why the hell do some of you fucks get caught up in the genre argument. It's good ass music and if i had it my way bands would do several different genres of songs without giving a fuck...but since they rely on you buying their albums they have to comply to your fucking strict choice in music. get a fucking life. this fucking deathmetal vs deathcore is getting on my nerves....why not have a god damn solo and breakdown in the same song.

[xlixity]

@avenelle1 that's like saying suck some clit and suck some dick at the same time.

[MarkusSsZ]

now THAT's a chorus

[sufferingrules]

I must purchase all of TBDM's albums.

[Susi3631]

qeil *_____* einfach nur qeil O.o

[LETTHEREBEDEATHCORE]

With Trevors' vocal TBDM can never sound like any other album..It is waaaaaay to unique.

[emptify]

I love, how they worked out a new sound but still keeping the old TBDM "style". One of the best metalbands in those 2 decades.

[SunshineWayne]

13 people obviously dont know what the fuck is good and they need to die right now!!!

[BukkakeNation]

@MARTYRP89 A code embedded deep within! Encrpted in vaults of bone and skin! A tug, magnetic, toward the dark. The wolf, voracious! Hath witnessed it's mark. Internal pressure growing, behind your eyes is mounting still. Constant thoughts of evil are coming to a head inside you. Humanity descreasing, blood is strong upon the passing winds. To forsake would be a sin, let the night entrance you. You'll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium. there's no more spa

[mexicanbear77]

There was a 400k views version up but the fucking dildos and cunts that run youtube took it down, THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THAT YOUTUBE SHOULD JUST LET US ENJOY THE MUSIC YOU DON'T SEE THEM TAKING DOWN RIHANNA OR FUCKING DRAKE?

[majorblood]

the old bdm style left with johns guitar

[nounever]

@majorblood That is why Brian wrote all the instrumentals.

[PatrickKellyish]

they just sound like every other metal band now..

[yellofello12]

i dont quite know why but i love that ouja board pic. Ryan just looks very excited

[TheDemonicUprising]

I was one of the first to se this the day it was uploaded. Like 100th or something :D been one of my favorite songs since

[kickedphilip93]

Nocturnal and rituel both albums kick asss

[trippinxout]

13 people were sacrificed to this song

[DucaleEfston]

Thumbs up if you heard this song live AND IT BLEW YOU FUCKING MIND!

[flkhasdklfhksdf]

@ohyeahtotally08 Leave, now

@ohyeahtotally08 yes please leave

[SchutzStaffelSoldat]

More shitty deathcore like this, damn!!!!

And this suckers are daring to say that this shit is melodic death metal, for Gothenburg shake!!!!!!

[RockBirth]

@SchutzStaffelSoldat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

YOU JUST SAID THIS IS DEATHCORE!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111­1111111111

[adamxb0mb]

@RockBirth get the fuck out of there.

[deathjam420]

@SchutzStaffelSoldat complete idiot for this comment.

[xxcannibalxchristian]

@SchutzStaffelSoldat pretty sure it has all the elements as melodeath. if you hate it why troll when you know youre going to get shitted upon in the fury of a shitstorm?

[deathknowz1]

@SchutzStaffelSoldat Deathcore? Are you high? The only remotely -core aspect is the high vocals. Not a single "brootal" breakdown anywhere on any of their albums.

[iheartgrindcore1]

@deathknowz1 Haha, and really, the high vocals resemble black metal high screeches more then they sound like deathcore high screams

[One2theSun]

just bought the cd..Fuck itunes.Fuck torrents.Fuck stealing it. Go buy this cd or ill Fuck your dad.

[purplepaperhearts809]

HORRIBLE?..... ur WHOREABLE!!!

[TheBearsharktopus]

pt.5

To taste the red your only will,

There’s no salvation.

[TheBearsharktopus]

pt. 4 The moon has come out. Internal pressure growing behind your eyes, Its mounting still. Constant thoughts of evil are coming to a head inside you, Humanity decreasing. Blood is strong upon the passing winds, To forsake would be a sin, Let the night entrance you. You’ll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium, Pitch black transmission of the soul. Instincts from within rise, We’re all but beasts that hunger from inside, Cannot repress these urges to kill,

[TheBearsharktopus]

pt.3 We’re all but beasts that hunger from inside, You must subdue this yearning to feast. That very eve the devil cameth and his will did force thine idle hands. Open his heart of molten darkness, Floweth forth foul rivers of the damned. Blood of the lycan within thee, Enthroned heir to their cosmic fathers unknown, Who traileth not far from where death would increase, Seek they to murder, To rid the world, Clean a curse by the ancients of bloodline befouled. The clouds they are parting,

[TheBearsharktopus]

pt.2 Instincts from within rise, We’re all but beasts that hunger from inside, Cannot escape this longing. These symptoms don’t remit for death, Becoming sick. The long hairs, Feel them stand, The nightworld calls again. Your existence turning black, There’ll be no coming back. A desire to tear and hack, It’s growing lord, Please help us. You’ll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium, Pitch black transmission of the soul. Instincts from within rise,

[TheBearsharktopus]

Official lyrics pt.1 of 3 A code embedded deep within, Encrypted in vaults of bone and skin. A tug magnetic toward the dark, The wolf voracious hath witnessed it’s mark. Internal pressure growing behind your eyes, It’s mounting still. Constant thoughts of evil are coming to a head inside you, Humanity decreasing. Blood is strong upon the passing winds, To forsake would be a sin, Let the night entrance you. You’ll feel the pull of the moonlight equilibrium, Pitch black transmission of the soul.
