War Years comes to us just about a year after their epic studio release, I Borjan Och Slutet, and captures the band from their very first show in 1971 to more recent dates in 2007.Trettioariga Kriget have given us an audio time capsule that highlights their musical journeys from ‘70’s prog to ‘80’s pop rock to a combination of the two for the new millennium. Kriget, 'The War' in Swedish, is back after five years with their new album ‘Total Trueness' - an exploration of new sounds with lyrics questioning humanity and the state of today’s world.
