“Mammoth's Hand” is the latest single from The Black Dahlia Murder. The track is taken from the band's upcoming tenth studio album, Servitude, which is set to be released on September 27th via Metal Blade Records.

“Mammoth's Hand” is partly inspired by a scene from Don Coscarelli's 1982 sword and sorcery epic “The Beastmaster.” “We usually like to give an idea of ​​what kind of diversity will be on the album with the first two tracks we release,” explains singer Brian Eschbach.[guitarist] Ryan Knight wrote the music for it and the slow rhythm made me think of those barbaric warriors riding mammoths through the snow, or the scene in The Beastmaster when the Jun horde takes over the village.”

Eschbach continues: “'Mammoth's Hand' is a trip through a fictional frozen tundra where a clan of nomadic cannibals conquer villages on mammoths in a time before technology. The slow groove of this song is a mood not often used by the group, but immediately conjured up in my mind a vision of a slow-moving, yet gigantic and powerful beast of an antagonistic nature.”
