Anti-Cimex - Scandinavian Jawbreaker (1993)

Continuing in the same vein as 1990's Absolut Country of Sweden, Scandinavian Jawbreaker is a decent slab of metalpunk.

Yet again, another member has bit the dust. This time in the form of Conrad, bassist from 85'-90. Who was replaced with Lefty, known for his later band Black Uniforms. While the metal influence is still present, the hard rock'n'roll style of Motorhead is prominent as well. With that said there is still moments of D-Beat here and there, but the tide had certainly changed by this point.

So while the vocals on Absolut... were very Lemmy-like, the guitars follow suit in the Motorhead vein as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this era of Anti-Cimex influenced the Motorpunk that was getting popular (well, kind of popular in regards to punk) a few years ago.

I'd say that this is an improvement on Absolut Country of Sweden. While it's still not the band that recorded Raped Ass in 1983, at least they dialed back the metal, shortened the song lengths, and play in a more straightforward style here. A decent record overall. But don't be fooled, this is much more Motorpunk than D-Beat.
