History & Biography Blacklyst initially featured two former Amulance members in guitarist Bob Luman and drummer Eric Wedow. The band was formed in Aurora, Illinois, USA in 1990. The band played locally for four years before relocating to Miami, Florida. The act was booked for the Classic Metal Festival 4 in 2004. This stay lasted for four years and the band returned to its home state in 1998. Luman, however, left before the band got to the recording of the album.
The band signed to Germany's Iron Glory Records and recorded an album called Liars, Killers, & Master Thieves. Iron Glory lost its distribution and the band was being threatened by an ex-member so Warped Records stepped in. Wedow left following the recording citing inability to tour.
Gravel would later turn into Venus Pigtrap. Hessil was also the guitarist for Shadowcaster. The band disappeared and Lost Realm Records rereleased the album in 2019.
The band reformed in 2025. Schwenk was also on vocals. Lost Realm Records of Portugal released a compilation called Living On the Edge - The Demos In 2026.
