Norwegian Hardcore 1980-1989



There´s a certain sound to classic norwegian hardcore. Sure, there´s a big dose of american hardcore in the mix. But there´s also a something else that makes it stand out and make that special sound that can only be derived from Norway in the eighties. The 1980´s was a hotbed for hardcore wherever you came from. Everything was new and you made it up as you went along and probably took influence from your peers or bands you played with. That is one of the things that made each country have sort of it´s own sound. Sure, there were bands influenced by Discharge even in Norway as shown by this compilations first track. But you can certainly hear when a band is from Norway just by the sound of the classic style.

Here´s thirty songs of hardcore from 1980´s Norway. There is some bands like Hærverk and Wannskrækk that might have been more on the punk rock side of things but the tracks I´ve included have a certain hardcore feel to them. You might call Hærverk Norwegian proto hardcore, but since that term makes me cringe I´ll leave it at that.

Enclosed are a file containing info of where the tracks are pulled from.

Hope you enjoy this little compilation I made and hopefully there´s something new for you to discover.
