The 2. 0 most essential hardcore releases in the Nordic countriesblah, blah, blah take me to the records. Weve compiled a list of what we consider the best and the most essential hardcore records before 1. Northern European countries Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. A lot of punks will no doubt criticise our list on the basis that it is against punk ethos to categorise records like this. As the Nordic proverb has it When the devil gets old he becomes religious. However this list is not an attempt to idolise bands or records, rather in doing this were paying respect to twenty early Nordic hardcore bands that we believe have acted as spearheads for the Nordic hardcore scene. We think that these bands have influenced our way of thinking by setting the musical, political and cultural footprints, and in no small part helped to ensure that the hardcore scene carried on for more than three decades. Despite the geographical proximities between Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, Nordic Hardcore was never a coherent scene. Five different countries with five different languages, there were five different and largely separate hardcore scenes.

While Nordic hardcore bands were primarily influenced by punk and hardcore from the UK and USA, local and regional influences were just as important. At a regional level, the five Nordic countries shared a broadly homogenous culture, with similar politics and value systems. The established norm was the collective and patriarchal society. Hardcore punk with its grounded, perceptive and individualistic ethos was on a collision course with Nordic society, which had failed to embrace individual thinking and had failed to address world problems.

Norway had possible the most solid and coherent hardcore scene in the world. Heres a record we all like In the ongoing canonisation of early eighties hardcore from the Nordic countries, many great Norwegian bands seem to be repeatedly overlooked. One might argue that this is also true in the case of this list. Bearing in mind the tendency to ignore Norwegian hardcore records, it is a great pleasure to realise that Bannlysts 1. EP La dem ikke lure deg is now starting to become recognised, rightfully, as a true Scandinavian classic. Bannlysts first and only vinyl EP, was the second release on Gunnar Nuven and Ote Kippersruds legendary label X port Plater. The original pressing was a thousand copies, but the record has since been bootlegged a few times. The songs from the EP also got a well deserved re release with the Bannlyst discography LP from 2. Norwegian Leather. One of the things that make La dem ikke lure deg a unique record musically, is that while its obviously heavily influenced by Discharge style hardcore, there is also notable traces of early American hardcore, and even classic rock like Jimi Hendrix, which was the now late guitarist Brre Lviks greatest musical idol. This fusion of influences contributes to giving the record a sound that is simultaneously timeless and cutting edge. In many ways, Bannlyst are perhaps more musically akin to their American contemporaries in Crucifix than the more noise oriented outputs of many of their Nordic peers. Their main ambition seems to be to produce great songs and riffs, not sound as raw or blown out as possible. The musicianship on the record is really quite impressive. While often quite melodic and sometimes outright catchy, the songs are never lacking in urgency or power. Lyrically, Bannlyst delivers simple but effective political outbursts. War, power abuse and a flawed system is described in a realistic but never cynical manner. Their perhaps most well known song, 4. Live Aid era. Somewhat dystopian sentiments are also expressed in the chaotic and crass artwork of the record sleeves, making the EP a cohesive and capturing release, both musically and aesthetically. In a historical and musical sense, La dem ikke lure deg is a particularly interesting record, because it represents the culmination of the extremely prolific Molde scene, which produced some of the best Norwegian punk and hardcore bands of the eighties. Many of them can be found on the great compilation tape Then the Molde punks come marching out, which documents the peak of local scene of the city on the west coast of Norway. Simultaneously, Bannlyst laid the foundation for what could be labelled as the Norwegian sound, together with Betong Hysteria and Svart Framtid. This distinct sonic style would dominate the Norwegian scene in the mid eighties, and solidify the status of Norwegian hardcore in the international punk sphere. Many central figures of the Molde scene, including the members of Bannlyst, switched coasts, and started seminal bands such as So Much Hate, Kafka Prosess and Stengte Drer in Oslo on the east coast of Norway. These bands, and most of the other acts associated with the Blitz squat, carried on and further developed the fusion of melodic and hard hitting elements which Bannlyst masterfully showcases on La dem ikke lure deg. It is a true classic, that has been highly influential both on Norwegian punk as a whole, and as a reference point for me personally, when attempting to make relevant hardcore in 2.
