Alex Rudinger - The Black Dahlia Murder - "What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse"

[@ShannonLucasDrums]

Beautifully done my friend. 🖤🖤🖤

Legend himself!

Thank you for what you've done as well!!!

[@QQ-nd1gn]

[@firealrl]

Legend !

[@flickmybiscuit]

Damn. The man, himself just showed up. Good stuff.

[@markbond08]

Yes dude. Black Dahlia drum parts are burned into my brain forever. Trevor’s vocals are sick on this song too.

[@DruNature]

This is how I drum in my dreams! Alex's kit on this sounds fucking spectacular, that kick is heavy af!

[@lorenmeans4463]

❤️

[@Trohawkk]

I got to agree, Shannon is a monster

[@musikteer]

I'm a Shannon hybrid because of listening to Shannon, can't help it by now lol

[@domakent]

Hate to break it to you guys but I don't think Shannon was on this album. I do agree that he's the bees' knees though. Top three metal drummers for sure.

[@mikey_dk]

The ambidextrous nature of your playing is mesmerizing to watch. What a great tribute, RIP Trevor

[@Arcnaught]

The song that solidified my love for death metal. I was never into horror anything, but Trevor's lyrics and dynamics on the first few albums fascinated me. Great performance of this classic.

[@DruNature]

seriously though, that line "what holy inversion of hope twisting the faith of the meek into hate" It's just pure poetry and it's so epic!! RIP to the legend, so tragic.

[@wylde678]

@@DruNature I thought it was "unholy inversion of hope".

[@ExtremeMetalLIVE]

TBDM arent death metal, bruh. deathcore at most

[@nathanhyde2079]

Melodic death metal

[@Everythingwentblack69]

This album was a pinnacle of my teenage years

[@GangsterPizza]

I always knew Shannon's parts were crazy but seeing them in full display here is just insane. Big ups for covering this classic

[@DruNature]

Seriously, this was so intense!

[@cgrind3000]

Dude for real

[@AliceJ.]

Definitely prefer Shannon Lucas, gotta love the power/style he had, full leg motion double kicks, all sticks no tricks.

[@samhammer1134]

This dudes blasts are weak compared to Shannon... Still badass tho

[@iDrunkRS]

@@samhammer1134 this "dude" is one of the most respected and decorated metal drummers ever. Have some respect.

[@JRom_19]

This is the first time I've listened to black dahlia after the news came out. It's hard to hear his voice now with out being overcome with emotion. Their music got me through so many dark times in my life and still have continued to. I am so grateful for being able to have met Trevor and the others guys from black dahlia on multiple occasions and to have such great memories of them. Truly amazing people.

[@DruNature]

wow, yours and so many others stories are filling me with hope, it is such a fucking tragedy that he is gone but we have all come together in celebration of his life and impact on all of ours. So many people were inspired and moved by this band and it's something non metal fans just cannot fathom! Rock on and stay safe!

[@JRom_19]

@@tylerjackson2906 Its not corny at all. I totally get where you're coming from. At least you're able to listen to the albums now. I still haven't made it to that point. I can agree though. It definitely felt like a difficult wound to heal.

[@todewalzer]

RIP Trevor, awesome tribute in the beginning!

[@Snootypriss]

Unholy inversion of hope, twisting the faith of the meek into HATE!! Such a sick vocal performance. Truly a huge loss for metal.

[@DruNature]

YES! I am heartbroken, there have been a lot of great musicians passing but Trevor is basically in my age demo and this hits really close to home, our precious time on this planet, don't waste it!

[@ramayomama]

The “child’s broken neck” line too 😆🤘🏻dude was fucking gnarly lol

[@surfsavage2860]

Dude Shannon Lucas was a monster!!! His sound at concerts was so immense it felt like being at world War apocalypse

[@igor.meh.design]

True, he's a monster

[@SpartanCarver]

The song that got me into TBDM RIP Trevor, and amazing playing as always Rudi

[@kevinsiegel]

Never been a huge fan of TBDM, but hearing of Trevor's passing hit me unexpectedly hard; most likely as a lot of my metalhead friends had amazing stories of how purely good of a dude Trevor was. I've honestly never heard a single negative thing about him. A big loss for the metal world. Rest In Honor, Trevor. Thanks for doing this video.

[@The_JustJoshing]

Same man

[@krasgothral]

My favorite composition of TBDM. Beautiful tribute to Trevor. Sick as always.

[@Rukazor]

Rudi has always leaned in pretty hard during double bass parts, but boy man, you are REALLY leaning in a LOT during this take. Your near perfect technique is slowly developing into a back problem, if you're not careful. From one drummer to another, be cognizant and aware of this. Absolutely love your playing, and thanks for this video. After Trevor's passing, this means a lot.

[@DamonOfHouseFL]

This is a badass homage to a badass band. Keep up the great work man! RIP Trevor Strnad.

[@christophsanchito3461]

“Into the tower, never go the horrors multiply…!!!” Great cover man, this made my day!

[@Randinator]

First blast beat I ever heard. RIP Trevor

[@pattol666]

I didnt end up going to the last black dahlia murder concert here in Toronto before covid hit due to myself being sick and i said to myzelf ill cztch them 100% next time... Been following them since 2003ish. I used to and still to this day browse metalblades artist list and end up buying cds from bands i havent heard yet its a nice surprise when i find a gem. Unhallowed was one of those gems. Then miasma came out and it was all it took for my everlasting love for them. Seeing trevor live was a blessing everysingle time i went to the show. One we all im sure looked up to for inspiration in metal. One love to my family of metalheads. Be good to each other🤘🤘🤘🤘 sick cover my friend. Heartburn forever!!

[@QuincyKane]

Incredible playing! My heart goes out to the band and anyone affected by this loss; suicide is such a heart breaking thing, and people need to know that they're lives have purpose and meaning, and to not let go of hope. Always love one another; you never know what someone's going through.

[@justinpoeta8656]

Not only one of the first TBDM songs to truly sink it’s claws in and cement me as a fan, I just so happen to pull out an old Nocturnal shirt to wear, the day Trevor passed. Such heartbreaking news. Never had the pleasure of seeing them live…

[@ninop.r489]

same here man.

[@caseyl5001]

I was listening to this album on my way home that day. Walked into my room and saw on KZbin that he had died. I never got to see them live either. Just absolutely depressing tbh. I used to listen to them in high school over and over. And they’re really the only band I still consistently enjoy and love listening to from that period of my life.

[@flickmybiscuit]

It was the first time I ever saw Unearth live in a little hole-in-the-wall joint called Ground Zero. Spartanburg, SC in 2008. TBDM headlined that tour. My friend and I also went to see his buddy's band Decaying Face Down. Great name, yeah, but I don't think they ever amounted to anything. Shame... they had the talent. Anyways, we left the venue right as Black Dahlia was setting stage because "we wanted to beat the traffic". This was before I became a fan of them and was genuinely unfamiliar of them, and I cannot even begin to explain how many times I've kicked myself in the dick after all these years. Regret. Regrettable dick-kicking. We never should have left so soon. I'm still upset at you Dusty, I hope you read this

[@legalbreadspread7857]

you did Trevor and the band justice, big man.

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

I never clicked so fast in my life. We need some drum playthroughs of TBDM but a sick ass cover by one of the best drummers around is the next best thing! It hit me worse than I would've expected but they're one of my fave bands and I've seen them live twice. Been jamming their entire discography on repeat since I heard about Trevor and I even had a dream that I saw them live again and met Trevor - I woke up just as I was taking a selfie with him ☹ RIP Trevor 💔

[@brachlandmusic]

I am so glad you guys managed to keep the vocals. As always - just rad drumming!

[@TFS-696]

What a beast! You have been growing exponentially throughout your career, inspiring. Cheers from México

[@davidg179]

Dude.. you have one of the crispiest sounding drum sets I’ve ever heard… such amazing sound quality and resonance…

[@elrevelde04]

What a perfect homage, sir. Trevor was a huge influence in my formation as a singer, and his writing skills were so powerful that thousands of images come to my mind when listening to his songs. I know your words are full with feelings and this loss was an immense impact on every metal fan out there. His legacy must live on, not only with the music, but also with the love-spreading attitude, supporting every new band, and taking care of each other.

[@XDarkStrikerX]

Fantastic job and tribute! One of my all time favorite song, i probably wouldn't play drums nowadays if it wasn't for it. Shannon Lucas drumming is something else, incredibly well written.

[@DruNature]

Damn that's sick, I really wish I could achieve this level one day, but I am proud of my skills. Can you pull this type of stuff off?

[@XDarkStrikerX]

@@DruNature I do, it took many years before being able to pull this off as I'm not a professional, it's only a hobby for me, but I've been playing drums for 14 years now and can play almost anything that I like now except for some crazy bands like Animal As Leader and Origins which is a level that I will for sure never achieve.

[@manicdogfood]

Yes bro. Just yes! Shannon played one of the meanest drum parts ever recorded on this album and you absolutely smashed it. R.I.P Trevor. You will always be one of the greats to us.

[@thefourthkind7824]

Well stated and well done Sir! R. I. P. Trevor

[@markhillan4038]

This track was the first I ever heard of TBDM - it came as part of a Metal Hammer magazine compilation CDs (yeah remember when we bought magazines to check out new tracks !) Blew my mind then. Still blows my mind now. Everytime it's on I can't help but just throw myself around screaming the lyrics (badly) at the top of my lungs....its honestly like Trevors vocals just reach into that part of your soul that gets emotional during LOTR battle scenes and makes you wanna cry, shout and rip a building out it's foundations all at the same time. Fucking incredible. You will be sadly missed Trevor. Thank you for everything you unknowlingly did for Me and millions of metalheads worldwide.

[@mpk33]

Same here dude! 07/08 from memory. It was the best song on the compilation.

[@DruNature]

AHHH Man this news pains me so much, TBDM one of the few bands Ive actually had on my rotation for the past few years. MANNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the song that got me into them and cemented Strnad as one of my all time favorite vocalists! Thanks Alex for making this, the timing is truly something. Man your kit sounds incredible, Shannon Lucas is such a shredder and this is really fucking exciting! \m/ rock on! PS. Cover the TBDM song Nocturnal next!!!

[@DavidMihaelovich]

I was like 14 years old when I joined a band with a bunch of 20-year-olds as a vocalist and was asked to learn this song. It was then that I really learned to love newer styles of death metal. We performed this song and it was awesome. Rest in peace Trevor.

[@mammontustado9680]

Your statement left a lump in my throat, man. For someone who has been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for 30 years, and as a lifelong metalhead, I appreciate this. Thank you. Lots of love to you, Rudi and to TBDM.

[@ununseptium7961]

You brought the hot sauce on this one. Thank you!

[@Doubledacious]

Alex Rudinger is so unbelievably good at the drums! It's actually depressing how good he is as a drummer, but whilst saying that, he deserves every single bit of credit he gets. As he's been on his drumming pilgrimage, I've watched and I've listened...sometimes in disbelief! His technique and insistence on playing natty is a true inspiration that I hope continues to grab hold of the metal drumming community. It's also a massive bonus that he's an absolute hero of a human on a personal level. The man holds himself to such high standards, both from a musical perspective and also personally as well. We should all aspire to be just a fraction of who this man is....a legend. Keep doing what you're doing Alex. I personally consider you an anomaly in the system and wish I could do just a fraction of the things that you do on the kit. I've only a few of my own aces, but you have the royal flush on every occasion. LEGEND.

[@hugemetalfan6664]

one of my saddest days when i heard the vocalist died. ive been listening to this band about 8 years!!!!!!! but amazing drum cover of this song..

[@dba00]

Wow, what an incredible drum cover! Nocturnal is such an amazing album, one of my favorites of all time

[@spencerj]

This was my favorite metal track in high school. I used to be one of those "metal is just screaming, why are they so angry?" Kindof people, but this song helped me realize metal musicians aren't angry, they're celebrating high intensity and putting on a show (just like roller coasters or horror movies) Thank you for playing this song, Rudi. It really brings me back

[@josephcalleiro8328]

Love it man! Thank you for doing this 😭👏🏼🤘🏼🖤✨

[@rise4097]

One of the few times I shed a tear over a musician death. Great job Alex!

[@Ordacleaphobia]

I tried to do the same thing (with much less talent) when I heard. Nobody has time for me to list out why and how Trevor had such a huge impact on my life, but suffice to say...it was big. I wouldn't be a musician without him. Thank you so much for this. There's a lot of solace in seeing how universally well loved and respected he was in the community. Such a tragic loss.

[@DruNature]

Yes this really hurts, such a tragedy indeed. Glad to hear how he inspired you, if only the impact Trevor had on all our lives was enough to cleanse him of whatever plagued him inside. Rock on dude, stay safe and happy1

[@jerrydilger]

I remember being introduced to BDM whilst playing Saints Row back in the day and probably still my fav BDM track

[@johnstanton7118]

Nice job as always man, Trevor would fucking love this! Sucks that we will never hear any else from the legend

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

Hearing about Trevor's death a few months ago from a metalhead buddy of mine caused me to look into their discography. I remember hearing about them the better part of 20 years ago, but never heard anything until I looked this song up because of the title. I recognized it from CastleVania II: Simon's Quest on the NES, and when I read the lyrics, I realized that Trevor modeled the song's subject matter after a stylized, more graphic envisioning of the events of that game. Love this more melodic deathcore stuff, and this song is fantastic! Great rendition, Alex! Loved the limb independence, and your wrist technique for the blast beats was immaculate! Great tribute, RIP Trevor

[@marcxdestroyer]

One of my favorite drummers covering one of my favorite bands. Thank you for this good sir 🤘🏽🙏🏽💪🏽

[@mrmikey127]

My dude - you never cease to amaze me. You continue to inspire me with your talent behind the kit. Hope you're holding up ok....Love you man.

[@robertshollar7993]

Too many people leave us far too soon. Thank you for this. We will always love and miss you Trevor!

[@MattJFilms]

Ever since hearing and playing this song on Rock Band 2 I was hooked. TBDM is the band that pushed me to practice 200+ bpm relentlessly, so that I could jam their songs properly. Trevor’s passing absolutely broke my heart. I never got the chance to meet him, but every video with him showed a funny, compassionate, and genuine guy who just wanted to have fun with the ones he loved. To a Breathless Oblivion really hits you in the feels extra hard now given the circumstances. You absolutely crushed this cover Alex. What a fantastic tribute to legend. Rest In Peace Trevor. Hopefully you’ve found your answers beyond those cursed stars 🤘🏽

[@pjkillaastudlovin]

I needed this today. As always you killed it sir!!!!!

[@jjc5431]

Crazy! Switch skanks!?!? Ur the man. Also so wild how the universe works. The community is devastated but let’s find the positive and honor Trevor and all other metal heads we’ve lost by making music and push the envelope even further!! I lost a band mate to suicide last year and I thought I was coming to terms with it till I read about Trevor…it was like a punch in the face. Stay positive out there y’all. Positive thought positive affirmations positive actions. 🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥🔥

[@JustLacksZazz350]

Amazing cover and thanks for the touching tribute to Trevor at the start. That's an insanely hard looking song to play; Shannon Lucas is a beast.

Dudde. This was like 2007. TBDM ddrummers have just been absolutely unbelievable forever. Alien shit. Rudinger this is epic man. Seeing this played verbatim and imagining how the hell someone could come up with the TBDDM stuff blows my damn mind for ddecades now.

[@rapturexiii844]

I love the chorus to this song. Sich a tragedy loosing Trevor. TBDM has been my favorite band since high school among many many other bands. Hesring this album in its entirety back then inspired me to reall go hard with drumming and learn to play this style of music

[@zxJoe7r]

Got excited when I saw the title of this cover. Sick job. I liked your take on this.

[@chrisfranklin4061]

Alex, appreciate the kind words. Stellar performance per the usual lol! TBDM was my introduction to American metal with a "Black" influence. They're still one of my favorites and I listen to them regularly. Ironically, TBDM made me want to explore the many types of metal we have today, which eventually brought me to finding you on KZbin around 2010. And here we are now!

[@brandonmoser4247]

Never heard this song, or really much from The Black Dahlia Murder in general. Seen this in my recommended, glad I clicked. Awesome cover, awesome song, awful news :(

Black Dahlia are a band that I grew up listening to, and as such will always have a special place in my heart RIP Trevor

[@freddyleal1756]

Awesome cover Alex and great choice of song to pay a tribute!! Beautiful!!

[@JeebusFeetus]

Rip trevor.. glade to have seen you live a few times and he was a very very kind and funny dude.. absolutely gutted. Sick video !

[@MrHDfreak]

I always love to read your descriptions. There is so much info in it, what lead you to cover these and that. Awesome tribute. That album (this song is from) had an HUGE impact on my taste of music. I've always been interested in new stuff of this band. What hit me like a brick was the song "Asylum", which some reaction KZbinr have reacted to. His lyrics man.... so hard, so so deep!

[@bndncn]

So sick, dude...obviously. Tragic too. Depression sucks, man, and not everybody who gets there gets out. RIP to Trevor. Glad the vocals were in.

[@graxy_tv]

To my knowledge, this is my first time listening to TBDM. Sad to hear the loss of Trevor. Your playing gave me a look at his playing; what a technical, endurance powerhouse of a drummer man. As Corey Taylor once said, "God, stop taking the best of us." RIP Trevor.

[@mikelarranaga4951]

Incredible, man. Insane form!! Killing it as always

[@metalheadmnw]

I like the fact you didn't play all the parts exactly spot on and added a little bit of personal touch to some of the fills and stuff. It was nice to expect to hear one thing, and you play something slightly different that still fits well. I love hearing people cover people and spicing things up as they do it.

[@bensimwise]

That was a beautiful , heartfelt message Alex. The cover was spot on.🖤

[@ericmccarty9526]

(RIP) my sincere condolences goes out to the family, loved one's, childhood friends, band members, later life friends & of course last but not least all of the outstanding fans around the world. it's a really brutally tuff, challenging & unforgiving world that has gotten turned upside down & in turn has ruthlessly effected us all in both many similar ways alongside individual personal ways in the last two plus years, every single one of us needs to take emotional/physical care of ourselves along with everyone looking out for each other in these uncertain times. everybody stay safe out there. 🙂🤘
