Blacklisted: Peace On Earth, War On Stage

Philly's Blacklisted need no introduction to the hardcore scene. Heavy hitting Blacklisted return with "Peace on Earth, War on Stage" proving once again the band is here to stay with four songs that will crush you. In April or May it was thought to believe that Blacklisted was calling it quits. Turns out they decided to stick it out, and this is the best news any Blacklisted fan will want to hear.
 
Blacklisted once again show why they are on top of the game. Their debut LP "...The Beat Goes On" provides a great blend of old school hardcore while this 7'' is a whole lot faster, similar to their first recording titled "Were Unstoppable." The smashing first song "Ivory Tower" takes no bullshit and is followed by my favorite song on the record "Memory Lane." "Memory Lane" is a punishing song that leaves you wanting to break everything in site. "Canonized" takes more off a heavy mid-tempo beat somewhat similar to the sweet band Damnation A.D. The last song called "Settling Sun" reverts back to the fast paced sound more like the first two songs of the record.
 
George vocal style on this record sound more pissed off than ever. Recorded by the great Kurt Ballou, this record leaves no disappointment.
 
Blacklisted does it again with this stellar release. You need it in your collection now, go buy it.
