Phantom of the Black Hills
Born To Gun
Ratchet Blade Records

Hailing from the depths of Hades comes the Phantom of the Black Hills. Hillbilly, banjo pickin’ madness from your darkest nightmares. Mysterious masked men dressed like bandits stirring up timely images of train robbin’ outlaws dancing with saloon girls. One of my favorite tracks is the cacophonic frenzy called “Whorehouse” which indulges in sexy porn samples among other naughty things. Upright bass and evil lyrics hidden behind executioner style masked men. “Born To Gun” is a stunning, unique, sinister medley of Hellbilly, country and bluegrass with an unhealthy dose of industrial noise thrown in for proper measure. True Grit inspired by highwaymen and outlaws. Make rock and roll rebellious again, check it out.
