Blacksheep Release New Single “Gunsmoke”

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 2nd, 2016 by JJ Koczan

Romanian heavy rockers Blacksheep called it quits earlier this year but have come roaring back propelled by new drummer Herman Heidel, and they present their first single as this incarnation of the band in the Western-themed “Gunsmoke.” The track can be heard now in a kind of semi-video YouTube stream plugging its release alongside images of guns, smoke, etc. to go with the samples in the song itself from old Western movies, among them Once upon a Time in the West. Blacksheep momentarily tap into their inner Morricone as well, but the bulk of “Gunsmoke” revolves around its burly delivery and catchy hook. The band calls it “death and roll,” but if you’re thinking Entombed, that might be a little more extreme than where Blacksheep end up.
