The life (and modern communication technologies) have their own ways sometimes… So it happened that Voltage have the pleasure to release the first ever official re-issue of the one and only EP by Norwegian SVART FRAMTID that has since its first release 27 years ago become an impossible-to-get collector item. SVART FRAMTID (“Black Future”) have until now remained an icon of Norwegian hardcore/punk of the 80’s. Six explosive tracks of angry mid-paced punk with witty ideas, raw & wild vocals (so typical of the Scandinavian bands of that time!) yet still full of unobtrusively catchy and raging melodies that partially also constituted a trademark of the style of the SF members’ later bands: KAFKA PROCESS, SO MUCH HATE etc. Not even the lyrics let you rest: the vocalist spits fire in his native tongue and the topics create a rough picture of the space-time of their origin: cold war and daily threat of nuclear conflict, billions wasted on armament, omnipresent influence of religion, shitty factory jobs and the future remains black. EP comes in its original layout with elaborate poster-sleeve full of cut’n’paste graphics and apocalyptic drawings that only strengthen the feeling of desperation. This record represents the 1980’s in all their filth yet it is still incredibly up to date! Maybe even way too much…
