Longtime Black Dahlia Murder guitarist Brandon Ellis has announced his departure from the band this morning. Ellis played for The Black Dahlia Murder from 2016 to 2025 and performed on three of the band’s albums – Nightbringers in 2017, Verminous in 2020, and Servitude in 2024. Ellis didn’t say much about his reasons for leaving the band, only noting that “the time has come that I must close this chapter and begin the next.”
The Black Dahlia Murder has not commented on Ellis‘ departure or announced a replacement. Though it is worth noting they rescheduled their Mexican and South American dates to this December.
“I have recently parted ways with The Black Dahlia Murder. I’m grateful for my 9 years spent with this iconic band, and to have had the rare honor of making music with the legendary Trevor Strnad. I’m proud of my contributions to the band’s legacy and of all that we’ve accomplished together.
“Unfortunately, the time has come that I must close this chapter and begin the next. I’d like to thank the fans for the mountains of support they’ve afforded us all over the years, and I wish the band the best in all future endeavors.”
