{"product_id":"various-artists-the-vikings-are-coming-12","title":"Various Artists: The Vikings Are Coming... 12\"","description":"Reissue of The Vikings Are Coming..., originally released in 1985. Swedish punk began in the late '70s and by the mid-80s, the small steel mill town of Fagersta had seven bands, immortalized on rare compilation The Vikings Are Coming..., which is surprisingly diverse: Bizarr's old-school punk is influenced by the Clash and SLF; Cruel Maniax give social criticism and Crude S.S.'s hardcore draws on Discharge; Rescues In Future's speedcore is super melodic, influenced by Hüsker Dü; Fear Of War's thrash is anti-religious and there's more thrash from Bedrövlerz (or \"Miserablerz\"), while Ugly Squaw proffer unique power-punk humor (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 full monty of this must-have anthology.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","brand":"Radiation Reissues","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43502909882622,"sku":"220922506","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/7539\/products\/vikingsarecoming.jpg?v=1664483809","url":"https:\/\/www.sorrystaterecords.com\/products\/various-artists-the-vikings-are-coming-12","provider":"Sorry State Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
