The Black Dahlia Murder, The Leather Apron’s Scorn | Wacky Wednesday

The Black Dahlia Murder makes Wacky Wednesday truly captivating with the unsettling, serial killer inspired “The Leather Apron’s Scorn.”

Wacky Wednesday is reserved for an intriguing song or piece of music that’s out of the ordinary – definitely ear catching.  What better way to celebrate hump day, right?  Let’s get wacky on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 with “The Leather Apron’s Scorn” courtesy of metal collective The Black Dahlia Murder via their 2020 album, Verminous.

“Terrorize these foggy London streets / Lock your doors and hide / In the darkest alleyways, they’re where I’ll be.” That’s certainly not just wacky, but utterly terrifying. “The Leather Apron’s Scorn” is born directly out of the serial killer playbook – Jack the Ripper specifically.  It’s not only the lyrics about London that give this away if you’re well versed in serial killers, but also how The Black Dahlia reference the victims that Jack seeks out. “They never hear my footsteps approaching / Their whorish existences my knife is encroaching upon.” Definitely wouldn’t be the first, nor likely the last time that the band sings about a serial killer.

Honestly, what is wackier than a song titled and as unsettling as “The Leather Apron’s Scorn” on a Wacky Wednesday?
