Blackmail was a hard rock/progressive heavy metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden that formed in 1992. "Back in the day, Sweden's Blackmail were all over the internet. If there was a website that wrote about music, nine times out of ten, Blackmail was featured on it. Same goes with printed publications. It didn't matter if it was a small xeroxed fanzine or a fully professional magazine, Blackmail was reviewed in all of 'em...and 99% of the reviews were positive. After all that press coverage, the band seemed to just up and disappear."
