Blackshine was originally formed under the name Hetshead in
1988 and soon made themselves a name on the death metal scene in Stockholm.
They were however looking for new ways to express themselves through the media
of music and today they don't really sound anyway near death metal except for
some of the vocals. They released their first album on their own in 1995 but
it was with the second album "Our Pain Is Your Pleasure" in 1997 that they
became known world-wide and was given the chance to go out on tour with U.D.O.
and open up for Bruce Dickinson. After breaking up with their former label and
drummer they are now back with the third release. The new label is the German
Steamhammer and the new drummer is Håkan Erikson who has previously played for
both Godblender and Face Down. Blackshine are pretty successful in mixing
melancholic metal with straight-forward Swedish rock 'n' roll and there are
no lack of beautiful melodies on this album. However, I can't really make up
my mind whether I love or hate the vocals by Anders Strokirk. If you like
gothic music, raw dirty hard rock or stoner rock I think you will like this
release. Listen to the track "Another Twist" and you will know what
Blackshine is all about.
