Info
Trying to pick a legendary crust band, one of them that will
immediatelly come to your mind is WARCOLLAPSE from Sweden. Harsh, medium tempo
crust / d-beat with a little bit of roughness in the vein of Discharge, dark
atmosphere and a big influence of Scandinavian raw punk / metal scene of the
80`s.
The band is not hyperactive at all but once they decide to
come out of their den it is worth it (looking back at their gigs in CZ). More
than 20 years of existence and heaps of experiences have predestined them to be
Obscene Extreme headliners of the upcoming volume! Ladies and gentleman -
WARCOLLAPSE!!!
Bio
In the beginning there was…
Warcollapse started out in December ´91 under the name
Earcollapse. Under the influence of grindcore Jalle - vocals/drums and Emil -
bass/guitar terrorized the scene and recorded the first demo "Misery And
Despair". In the beginning of `92 Kalle joined the duo and in the end of
the same year Janne took over the bass.
In February ´93 Warcollapse entered the studio for the first
time and recorded some songs for the split-ep with Extinction of Mankind
(Elderberry Rec.) and the compilations "War Compilations" (Tribal
War) and "Distortion to Hell" (Distortion Rec.)
On the 13th of November Warcollapse played live for the
first time at "Bokcafet" in Kalmar and later that month they recorded
their debut-ep, "Indoctri-Nation", released by the Japanese label Tribal
war and later, due to shity pressing, by the Swedish label Elderberry.
In April of 1994 the band toured U.K. with Substandard and
in June tracks where recorded for the planed debut-album but because of
unsatisfied studio results and lack of energy the tracks appeared on different
7" and split records.
In November ´94 Warcollapse toured together with Extinction
of Mankind and Counterblast. The legendary "Moonshine and Hellfire"
tour was a totally "success" so in September ´95 the band and
Extinction made the roads unsafe again in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and
Austria.
Boredom, substitutes and mistrust lay as a wet blanket over
the band till 1997 when the members got their shit together again and recorded
their first album "Divine Intoxication" (Mind Control Rec.). In
November ´99 they where forced on stage and the gig was shoot and released on
video by Pas-83 Productions.
As usual sporadic gigs was made and in August ´03 Jalle left
the band and was replaced by Henke from 3 Way Cum. In june ´04 Warcollapse
entered the studio again to record the eagerly awaited second album.
After personal fuck ups Jalle grabbed the microphone again,
May ´06, and the band got new energy and toured Czech, Poland and Germany. In
the beginning ´07 Warcollapse finnished the second LP, "Defy!", and
enterd the stages in Gothenburg, Malmö and Copenhagen where they was the last
band to play at Ungdomshuset before the danish state, city council and the
christian sect "Fadershuset" closed the place down.
Next state Warcollapse visited and made the roads unsafe in
was Italy. In october `07 five gigs from south to north was made. Since then
the band have made festivals and sporadic gigs in Slovenia, Czech, US, Sweden
and other countries.
