The Black Dahlia Murder parted ways with guitarist Brandon Ellis earlier this year and has since recruited guitarist Wes Hauch (Alluvial, etc.) for the foreseeable future. The Black Dahlia Murder hasn’t said anything about Hauch being a permanent member of the band, but vocalist Brian Eschbach did recently say the band is “stoked to be playing with him, and you can expect to see him with us for the foreseeable future.”
You can check out The Black Dahlia Murder‘s first show with Hauch at Sonic Temple 2025 both above and below. The shows were also one a few with Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord filling in for Eschbach live. On his absence and Hauch joining the band live, Eschbach recently said: “Hey all! With Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville coming up right around the corner, we have a little bit of Black Dahlia Murder current info to share with you guys.
“First, Sonic Temple will be our first performance with someone that many of you already know — an amazing guitar player, the one and only Mr. Wes Hauch. We’re stoked to be playing with him, and you can expect to see him with us for the foreseeable future.
“In other news, I, myself, unfortunately — due to personal circumstances — will not be able to perform with the band at these two festivals. And rather than cancel on this opportunity to play with a bunch of great bands, we decided to ask for a little bit of help. So we’re happy to announce that long-time colleague and friend Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord will be filling in on vocals.
“We hope those in attendance enjoy these once-in-a-lifetime, mash-up events. But don’t worry — I will be back with the band this summer, there to melt you guys’ faces. And that’s about it. So everyone have a wonderful weekend and we’ll see you around the bend.”
