Unhallowed' is an album by the melodic
death metal/metalcore band The
Black Dahlia Murder. It was released by Metal Blade
on June 17, 2003.
The first track, Unhallowed, is an instrumental
song that ends and flows into the second song, Funeral Thirst.
Funeral Thirst is about a zombie rising from the grave to wreak
havoc and seek revenge on living humans. The song Elder Misanthropy
tells of an ancient god who feels nothing but hatred for humans as
he's watched them degenerate into horrible beasts as his existence
has progressed. Contagion tells, quite literally, of a zombie
apocalypse. When the Last Grave Has Emptied also tells the story of
a zombie apocalypse, but from the perspective of Mankind. Thy
Horror Cosmic is a tribute to H.P. Lovecraft, and Cthulhu. Some of
the lyrics are actually borrowed from Lovecraft's story "The Call
of Cthulhu". The song The Blackest Incarnation is about a Werewolf. Hymn for
the Wretched is a song written for all the creatures and objects on
the planet that have had ties to the Darkness. The song Closed
Casket Requiem has references to the Black Dahlia
murder case. The lyrics are about the killer's point of view and
include a description of its acts. The final song on the record,
Apex, is about a cannibal, making the spoken word intro and outro
to the record all the more appropriate.
The intro and outro to this record come from the
guide "Butchering the Human Carcass for Human Consumption" The
intro is a narration of the section "Gutting" and the outro is from
the section titled "Beheading".
