{"product_id":"various-the-vikings-are-coming-new-vinyl","title":"Various - The Vikings Are Coming (New Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissue 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Markdown (Forced Exposure)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42285906362599,"sku":"RRS 144LP","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0094\/8718\/8015\/products\/Various-The-Vikings-Are-Coming-New-Vinyl.jpg?v=1745567200","url":"https:\/\/www.sonicboommusic.com\/products\/various-the-vikings-are-coming-new-vinyl","provider":"Sonic Boom Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
