Limited colored vinyl version. Swedish punk began in the late '70s and by the mid-'80s, the small steel mill town of Fagerata had seven bands, immortalized on rare complition, The Vikings Are Coming, which is surprisingly diverse. Bizarr's old-school punk is influenced by the Clash and SLF; Cruel Maniacs give social criticism and Crude SS's hardcore draws on Discharge, Rescues in Future's speedcore is super melodic, influenced by Husker Di; Fear Of War's thrash is anti-religious and there's more thrash from Bedrovlerz (or "Miserablerz"), while Ugly Squaw proffer unique power-punk humour (also making an incognito faux-reggae appearance as Rasta Boys). This edition revives the original Swedish version released on Uproar REcords in 1985, giving us the fully monty of this must-have anthology.
