Poison Idea - Blank Blackout Vacant

When it came to the follow-up of their 1990 magnum opus Feel The Darkness, failure was not an option for POISON IDEA.

Seeking a way to expand their musical horizons while still retaining their cranked-up style, UK-cum-Chicagoian producer Iain Burgess (BIG BLACK, the EFFIGIES, NAKED RAYGUN) was brought in to assist in this audacious feat. The results – 1992’s Blank Blackout Vacant – successfully showcased a meshing of POISON IDEA's classically surging sound and a new found refinement: demonstrated by the brass section on tracks like the driving opener “Say Goodbye” or the chugging, MOTORHEAD-esque “Forever and Always”.
