notes
Breakin' Bread With The Devil was produced by Chris Johnson (Evanescence, Goldfinger, Josh Todd) and Anthony Valli (former Crazy Town guitarist). The album was recorded at Ivy Lane Music and Trouble Valli Studios both located in Hollywood during January and February 2008. Johnson also produced the band’s debut, a tribute to Bianca Halstead of Betty Blowtorch, titled After The Mourning. “Tony West is a real as it gets,” Johnson explains. “His lyrics reflect the beauty and tragedy of life in Hollywood with all of its overdoses, love affairs, births, deaths and scam artists. In the studio I challenged the band to be raw, stripped down and brutally honest with their music. They are primal, with nods to early Jane's Addiction and Seattle's Mother Love Bone. Guitarist Carmine D’Amico has encyclopedic knowledge of punk, metal and hard rock and brings a rebellious angsty attitude to the music.” Johnson concludes ”Blacklist Union is pure passion, pure aggression and dark sexuality.”
Top rock critics and metal magazines internationally praise the band. England’s Metal Hammer Magazine declares that they’re “arrogant swagger with a hard on.” Metal Edge’s review of their debut album enthuses "Embodying hard rock from first note to last, the captivating album displays the quintet's trademark riffs, commanding melodies and emotional lyricism." Music Connection recently covered the band live and writes “…[Blacklist Union] delivers a dependable, driving sound and a good time.” While Hollywood rag, All Access Magazine, explains "Blacklist Union regularly plays and headlines the A-List Hollywood Clubs because of their talent, enthusiasm, and ability to draw fans."

Solid Hard Rock
author: Jeremy S.It's good stuff. All it took after the last album (mourning), was an E-mail that let me know they had a new one. I ordered the same day. You won't be disappointed with this CD. Easily worth $10.
ALL KILLER NO FILLER
