Leeds’ finest purveyors of scabrous, haemorrhage-inducing noise presage the release of their debut long-player with a rerecording of the live favourite, ‘Trickfuck’. It’s an obvious choice, being a stand-out track in every sense, and in the space of two minutes and fifty-eight seconds encapsulates precisely what Blacklisters are all about. It’s also an obvious choice because the original version appeared on their first release, a split EP with Skul Hazzards, has been sold out and unavailable for some time now.
It’s a raging behemoth of a song, angular, abrasive and brutal, that snarls and bucks ferociously. The new recording benefits from a fuller production, too, and while it may lack some of the rawness and poke of the original, it more than makes up for it in sheer power and sonic density, blasting full-throttle from beginning to end.

It’s probably a safe bet that the album’s going to be a blinder.
