Chicago death-thrash band Bloodletter are streaming their cover of The Black Dahlia Murder’s 2003 track “Elder Misanthropy.” The band aim to do it for charitable reasons, with all profits deriving from the cover going to 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Stream the song here.
The band share their thoughts:
“We love The Black Dahlia Murder; they’ve been a massive influence on our band since day one. When we lost Trevor Strnad, we decided to do a cover of the song ‘Elder Misanthropy’ and play it live at a few shows. We wanted to go a bit further with our cover, though, and we decided that for every sale of the cover, we would donate 100% of the proceeds to the NSPL group. Trevor’s passing was a huge loss for the metal community worldwide, and this is our way of helping pay tribute to a legend. RIP Trevor; long live The Black Dahlia Murder!”
