Turbonegro
All Music Guide
Trashy, hedonistic, decadent fun was the focus of Turbonegro, a band that was formed in Oslo, Norway, in the 90s but had more in common with 70s and 80s pop-metal, hard rock, and glam metal than with the alternative rock that other Scandinavian bands were playing in the 90s. Blending traces of punk with such influences as Alice Cooper, Quiet Riot, Mötley Crüe, and Judas Priest, Turbonegros late-90s recordings were over the top and proud of it. Although all of its members are Norwegian, all of the bands lyrics are in English. Lead vocalist Hank Von Helvete, sings quite convincingly in English, and only the slightest traces of a Scandinavian accent come through. Other Turbonegro members of the late 90s included lead guitarist Euroboy, bassist Happy Tom, rhythm guitarist Rune Rebellion, keyboardist/percussionist Pål Pot Pamparius, and drummer Chris Summers.

In 1997, Turbonegro recorded Apocalypse Dudes, which was released in the U.S. by Mans Ruin in early 1999. However, the group had broken up at the end of 1998; Darkness Forever!, a selection of live performances from the bands final year, was released in early 2001. The breakup, however, was short-lived, and Turbonegro were back for tour dates in 2002, followed by the release of Scandinavian Leather in 2003. A handful of northern European dates coincided the release of the bands seventh album, Party Animals, in 2005. A collection of remixes appeared in 2006 as Small Feces, Vol. 1.
