Search - Blacklist :: Total Blacklist

The place: melbourne, australia. The story: formed in late 2001 by ex-members of the spoilers and the sex bombs, the blacklist went into the studio in january 2002 to record their debut ep 'attacks' without having played a single show together. Throughout the next 12 months the band refined and defined their sound. They moved away from the original punk rock leanings they began with and gravitated towards the blazing trail already forged by past and present greats such as venom, motorhead, the hookers and zeke. After a year or so of solid gigging around melbourne, the blacklist went back into the studio to work on their debut album, "electric and evil", released on spooky records. Recorded in september 2003 the album did not see the light of day until late 2004. Late in 2004 todd of thunder happily accepted the blacklist's offer of a one-way ticket on the triple axe attack suicide machine!!! Slotting effortlessly into the line-up, the blacklist debuted the triple axe attack with uk punk legends the anti-nowhere league. The band undertook an extensive european tour in april/may 2005 that saw them cover the netherlands, belgium, france, germany and slovenia, playing 20 shows in 22 days. The blacklist have completed work on the follow up to 2004's "electric and evil" and with the release their second album "total blacklist" . Part animal, part machine: all hail the kings of brutal rock'n'roll and prepare to ride that motherfuckin' snake to valhalla!!!!!!!
