BOOM SHANKER GROUP was from Sweden but traveled to Denmark to record the album in Krajberg Studio between February and March 1988. It was issued by Bums Records in 1988 produced by Qrt Lassen. The bloody amazing artwork was made by Christian Iversen. An obscure LP delivering pretty awesome heavy / early-doom influenced rock/metal.

The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Hard Rock And Heavy Metal Writes:
A rather unknown Swedish hardrock act from Oskarshamn. They recorded this self titled album at the Krajbjerg Studio in Denmark during February and March of 1988 with Qrt Lassen as producer. The disc was pressed and released on the Danish Bums records. The band picked up their album when it was finished in Denmark and released it on the ferry boat on their way back home between Grena in Denmark and Varberg, Sweden. Not many of this album where sold and most of them got piled up in a warehouse so it has become a rather unknown piece of vinyl that hasn’t made it into any of the books about Swedish heavy metal. The album sounds a bit amateurish and could be compared to many of the average bands that released singles on smaller labels like Efel and Pang records. Singer Mats Drehmer would later go on to bands like Den Magiska Hunden and Dweebs before starting his own solo project simply called Drehmer. He has recorded some of the Drehmer material with a few of the members from THE QUILL, however so far the material have been unreleased

STRAPPADO,MEGA THANX FOR THIS RARITY,THE SCANS,THE INFOS!!A great band,very interesting mix of 70's influences with the style of some NWOBHM bands,like WITCHFYNDE, WITCHFINDER GENERAL for instance,in some of their riffs and in the "stoned",weird vocals of MATS who at times comes out a bit like ZEEB of W.GENERAL!Of course their sound is lighter and less doomy than the mentioned above bands!Nice surprise is also the ballad that closes the lp!"BIKERIDING" and "CRY OUT LOUD" are the standing out songs for me,with all the others being very good too! Overall a great gift from STRAPPADO,thanx again man!
