from the hype sticker:
"Swedish punk began in the late '70s and by the mid-'80s, the small steel mill town of Fagersta had seven bands, immortalised on rare compilation The Vikings Are Coming, which surprisingly diverse. Bizarr's old-school punk is influenced by the Clash and SLF; Cruel Maniax give social criticism and Crude SS's hardcore draws on Discharge; Rescues In Future's speedcore is super melodic, influenced by Husker Du; 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 marking an incognito faux-reggae appearance as Rasta Boys). This edition revives the original Swedish version released on Uproar records in 1985, giving us the full monty of this must-have anthology. - Double sided lyric insert included"
