Electric is always good, as is evil, so you just know any band that’s gonna claim to be BOTH has got to really tear it up, right? Yup. The first track on “EUE”, “Blacklisted Forever”, sounds like Overkill’s “Raise the Dead” as played by the Dwarves, which, as you might have guessed, ROCKS like there’s no tomorrow.* This is pretty exciting, not only for it’s ragged supersonic Satan-isms, but also because Blacklist are Aussies, and really have no good reason to sound like a bunch of insane assholes from Chicago ripping into one of the worst songs ever from a superdumb Noo Yawk metal band from the ‘80’s. Oh, but the fuckers pull off this cunning stunt with such n’ burn ferocity that I am nearly singed at the whiskers. And that’s just the beginning, really. The REAL fun kicks in during “Triple Axe”, an orgy of handclaps and flashy glam-riffs and rock n’ roll fury. This song- all 2 minutes of it- is the kind of infectious, wreck-the-joint punk n’ roll madness that redneck devil bands like Zeke, the Hookers, and Nashville Pussy specialize in, ‘cept it’s got that slippery Aussie edge – let’s call it the Angus Crunch – that propels  it straight into a full-blown riot of speed-fueled teenage rampage.  Further tracks borrow liberally from Motorhead, Kiss, and Venom, and spit ‘em all back out in acidic wads of high-velocity rock n’ roll mayhem. Blacklist freak freely in that strange and dangerous combat zone between old skull black metal and ripped-to-the-tits motorpunk, and this brief but lethal collection of terror-tracks is utterly bitchin’ and completely exhausting. Thank Christ the songs are so short, because if this record was any longer, I’d pass out in a sweaty heap before it was over. If yr a fan of Zeke and all the bands that wish they were Zeke, man, are you in for a fuckin’ treat. Go get ‘em.
