Anti-Cimex

An exceptional ultra-thrash attack can be found on Anti-Cimex's second EP. The production is much better, and the band is much more cohesive this time around. These songs rank right up there with those of the ~love~ and Huvudtvätt (the Headcleaners) in the Swedish "shred" sweepstakes. A must.

-Jeff Bale (from Maximum Rocknroll #7, July/August 1983)

Anti-Cimex, named after a Swedish insecticide, are one of the most influential hardcore bands to come out of Sweden in the wake of Discharge. Their noisy, high-speed take on the UKHC sound laid the foundation for the modern "Swedish sound." The first incarnation of the band, featured on their 1981 debut EP, was Jonsson (bass), Charlie (drums), Jocke (guitar) and Nillen (vocals). Soon after, Jonsson took over singing and with various bass players they recorded the classic EPs Raped Ass and Victims of a Bomb Raid. These records were landmarks in a new wave of noisy, pissed-off thrash that would soon be pouring out of Scandinavia. Two years went by before their final recording of this period: 1986's Criminal Trap 12". Jocke then quit and the band broke up.--flex

In 1990 they decided to start the band again after Cliff had agreed to join, and they say that its thanks to him that they regrouped. They released the comeback album Absolut Country Of Sweden the same year, . In 1993 they released a raw live album Made In Sweden. The show was also shot on video but never released. They later released a new live 7" single ~censored~ In Finland and later on they released the album Scandinavian Jawbreaker. After the release of this album the band split up and the members started in other bands such as Driller Killer (Cliff), and Wolfpack (Jonsson).--wiki
