Razor To Oblivion (Southern Lord). Review by Matthew Moyer.
Too young to be fully cognizant of the more embarrassing excesses of Gothic music over the past twenty years, the young Turks of NYC’s own Blacklist are, perhaps unwittingly, the best hope of redeeming Goth-metal. Fresh from a European tour complete with horned hotel antics, Blacklist frontman and provocateur Josh Strawn told Ink 19 all about how he learned to stop worrying and love Motorhead and Scott Walker equally.
Bill Hale’s slick photo collection reminds haters and fans alike of Metallica’s glory days. Even Matthew Moyer admires the redemption.
