***BACK IN PRINT!!! Rampaging D-beat hardcore punk, Stockholm’s TOTALITÄR are one of the longest running and most renowned classic Swedish hardcore bands from the 1980’s, with almost twenty releases since their beginnings in 1985. Respected for their challenging political lyrics, Integrity and continual inventive spins on a brutal and straightforward formula of rock-driven, blasting hardcore. After a series of Farewell shows in Sweden and in the U.S. in 2003, TOTALITÄR decided to do one final recording and album- Vi Ar Eliten (We are the Elite) which features seventeen rock-hard tracks. A combustive steamroller of their trademark desperate angry vocals, pounding rhythm section and searing guitar leads, their third full length album is one of their finest. Mastered at Fantasy Studios. This repress is true to the original pressing, 1500 Pressed at RTI on Red, Orange or white vinyl from the original Plates mastered in 2007 by George Horn. Packaged in heavy weight Stoughton gatefold tip-on Sleeves.

***A remastered reissue of the second blazing album from eighteen-year blasting Swedish hardcore favorites TOTALITAR. Classic Second LP, NiMåste Bort! translates loosely to "You've gotta go!", Totalitar mark racist, sexist and capitalist modes of thought, dysfunctional politicians and useless media, cynicism and the dull mechanical wearing on people's lives on the "To go" list! A frenzied wall of guitar driven thrash with gutteral shouts and pulverizing drums, Totalitar's sound was cut from the influence of classic D-beat and Swedish hardcore, but with time has become one of the genre's cornerstones. Ni Måste Bort! was originally released on Sweden's FINN records label in the mid 1990s, and reissued originally by Prank in the early 2000s. Repressed for the first time in almost two decades, from the original mother plates brightened with new metal plating and pressing at RTI. The re-imagined cover art by John Yates of Stealworks (Allied Records, Punchline magazine) has been augmented with Metallic ink printing on a Stoughton Tip On Sleeve.
