Page "Turbonegro" Paragraph 9

In the autumn of 1997, their next album Apocalypse Dudes – the first part of the so-called Apocalypse trilogy – was recorded at Endless Sound studios in Oslo with producer Pål Klaastad.

When Happy-Tom was asked if their new sound and album has anything to do with Euroboy's entry into the band, he replied, " Yep, he's a genius, and so is our new drummer Chris Summers, The Prince of Drummers.

We released the punk album of the millennium with Ass Cobra, and didn't want to make an Ass Cobra part two plus we spent two years writing new stuff, so as to make sure that every song is a hit, so we ended up making the rock album of the next millennium.

" The album was released in March 1998 by Boomba Records.

However it was released in Norway exclusively by Virgin.

It is regarded as their best and most successful album amongst many fans and critics alike.

Moshable magazine commented: " Apocalypse Dudes is the perfect mix of classic 70's US punk / rock ' n ' roll like Dictators, Heartbreakers & Ramones ... every tune on this release is fucking brilliant ".

Jello Biafra was quoted as saying, " the new Turbonegro record is possibly the most important European record ever.
