The Black Dahlia Murder have just announced their first North American tour following the 2022 death of vocalist Trevor Strnad. The band will complete their Verminous touring cycle with these 2023 dates and will bring a reformed lineup of remaining and returning members of the band.

TBDM will bring Terror, Frozen Soul, Fuming Mouth and Phobophilic on the road with them beginning April 14 at the Decibel Metal & Beer Festival in Philadelphia. The tour will run across the U.S. and Canada until finishing up on May 26 in Minneapolis.

The Black Dahlia Murder performed a tribute show for Strnad in late 2022, with co-founding guitarist Brian Eschbach taking over lead vocal duties while guitarist Bryan Knight returned to the group.

"We spent many days thinking things like, 'Is this over?' None of us wanted it to be over. We still feel like there is a lot left to do," Eschbach told Decibel earlier this year. "I know Trevor would keep this band going if I went down a deep, dark path and weren't here. It's bigger than us."

"When we finally started talking about it, we thought, 'Let's remake it from within and see if Ryan wants to return. And I'll take a crack on the vocals and see how it goes.' I can't go out there and do Trevor's voice or try to be him. I can only execute the music of the Black Dahlia Murder with respect and try to do it the most justice I can. I've heard Trevor perform more than anyone else alive.”
