Although their fictional biography claims that these are actually 13 modern-day Vikings, the non-silly version presents a group of angry young men and one woman who perform shock rock. As part of their gimmick, they wear masks, come up with fictional names, and assault each other live with thumbtacks and barbed wire. They try to mix wrestling with death metal, and make self-released videos to advertise their stage antics. Appearing on the club circuit in 1998, the band released the With Friends Likes These, Who Needs Enemies EP in the spring of 2002 on Resurrection A.D. Records. ~ Bradley Torreano
