I've already been listening several times to Blackshine's Lifeblood, and I still don't know what I should think of this album. They are a really bizarre band as they have for instance only released three albums in eighteen years of band history.

The music is a mixture of melodic thrash metal, some gothic parts and a bit of Ozzy Osbourne hard rock. Somehow these styles don't really fit together. The album isn't boring or annoying and I have already heard a lot of worse bands. But I could name here probably the same amount of better bands I know. The album doesn't contain any smashers or hits and just leaves a somehow average impression. Some better tracks are the slower Unbroken which sounds like Megadeth's A tout le monde and the two old school thrash tracks (Second Rate Blasphemer, Denial Of Pain ) at the end of the album. The production really isn't too bad, but that's not enough to save this mediocre album.
