Now a record which I posted in my former Blog many years ago and I must unpacked the slab today because this fucking Monday forced me, to let my vibes out. Angor Wat started in 1981 and went for first six months under the name Dimensjon S. The line-up was Erik (vocals), Asbjørn (guitars), Håvard (bass) and Jens-Petter (drums). Tiller was the only one with previous band experience as bassist in Wannskrækk. The band then also did their debut concert together with Wannskrækk, who at the time were Trondheim's famous combo. In 1983 Viggo also joined on guitar and the following year they released a split cassette with Molde Hardcore's Bannlyst which was then licensed and released in several countries. In 1985 Erik left and Håv took over the vocals while Asbjørn went back to bass. This line-up released their only album General Strike at the English Children Of The Revolution Records and toured Denmark and England in addition to Norway. After this, Tiller & Houen left the band to start their own Transsiberian Hijackers. Jens-Peter and Viggo made some recordings on their own, including for the Compilations Party Terror Vol.1 and Tsjernobilly Boogie. Since then, Guttorm (guitar), Olav (bass) and Baard (vocals) were engaged as new members. This crew made some recordings in 1987 which can be found on the Rest In Pieces cassette. A title that also suggested that the end was near. Angor Wat disbanded in 1988, but resurrected as Israelvis later that year. - Thirteen fast and rough treats are on this album to brighten up a long hard day's work!
