Starting out as the flagship band of artist Pieter Schoolwerth's Wierd Records imprint, their trademark sound is dense and dark, incorporating elements of shoegaze and heavy metal with coldwave. The members often cite influences like my bloody valentine, Motörhead and Black Sabbath as influences alongside bands like Comsat Angels, Killing Joke and The Sound while singer Joshua Strachan's politically charged lyrics split the difference between the anthemic manifestos of Manic Street Preachers and Sisters of Mercy's \"Vision Thing.\" \n\nBlacklist's debut LP, Midnight of the Century - produced by Ed Buller (Suede, Pulp) - was released in 2009. The album's main focus was a rejection of what Strachan described as a fear of looming new forms of fascism aided by the rise and fusion of various political and religious dogmas. After a long hiatus, the band returned in summer of 2020 with the \"Disorder\" single, inspired by the racial justice protests in the United States, and the B-Side \"No Secret Islands\" taking aim at the dystopian fantasies of tech billionaires. In April of 2022 The Final Resistance was announced as the lead single from an upcoming LP, \"Afterworld.\"","genre":["deathrock","darkwave","post-punk","cold wave","gothic rock","neo-psychedelic"]}]}
