Music Style Crust

Artist History Warcollapse started December 1991 under the name Earcollapse. The line-up was Jalle - vocals / drums, and Emil - guitar / bass. Earcollapse was pure grindcore, influenced by bands such as Sore-Throat, 7 Minutes Of Nausea and early Napalm Death... Then in early 1992, the name was changed to Warcollapse, and songs like "Misery And Despair", "Bleakness Over Battlefields", "Massgenocide" and "Warcollapse" were made in the early style of Scandinavian Raw-punk... In May '92, a "test-recording" was done, the result was fucking shit. Then Warcollapse went to the studio to record a demo in June, that became more satisfying. The 1st demo, "Misery And Despair" was spread around, and in the autumn of '92 Kalle joined Warcollapse as drummer. Then, during the winter of '92 / '93, also Janne joined the band as bassplayer. Warcollapse started to rehearse with the new line-up, and in February '93, the band recorded 4 tracks to appear on 2 releases; the split - 7" with Extinction Of Mankind (U.K), released by Elderberry Records, and the compilation - CD "War Compilation", released by Tribal War Asia. Then Warcollapse was offered to be included on the Swedish Compilation - CD "Distortion To Hell", and the track that was on the "War Comp.", also winded up on "Dist. To Hell" together with the left over track from the recording. Then the 13th of November, Warcollapse played live for the first time. Later that month, Warcollapse recorded the debut - EP "Indoctri-Nation". 4 brutal tracks; "Rewinding History", "Bleakness Over Battlefields", "Indoctri-Nation" and "Encaged"...It got co - released by Japanese Tribal War Asia and Swedish Elderberry Records, due to the bad pressing on the Japanese version. In April '94, Warcollapse toured the U.K, mostly with Substandard, for 8 dates. In June, tracks were recorded for a planned debut - CD, but the result wasn't good enough, so instead the tracks were split up on; a split - 7" with Disrupt (U.S.A), released on Crust Records and a MCD "Crust As Fuck Existence" released by Distortion Records. While the 7" EP's were in the crusty style, the MCD was more in the vein of Amebix / Axegrinder... Then, in November '94, Warcollapse toured Sweden together with Extinction Of Mankind and Counterblast for 7 dates. In September 1995, Warcollapse and Extinction Of Mankind did a tour in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria.In 1997, the album Divine Intoxication was recorded, released 1999 by Mind Control Records, U.S.A. An EP with tracks from 1994 was released as well, called "Wandering In Darkness" by Scream Records this year. A live-video is in the works, to be released in early 2000.
