Background
On June 13, 2024, the Black Dahlia Murder announced Servitude with the release of its lead single, "Aftermath".[2] Eschbach spoke about the soundscape of the album: "We wanted that very aggressive Black Dahlia melodic death metal feel coming right at you. Lyrically, it's about a meteor that fucks up the whole planet, but there's still people living."[3] [4]
On August 6, the second single from the album, "Mammoth's Hand", was released. An animated music video for the single premiered later that day.[5] [6]
