Following the success of the first in the Trapped Under Vice mix series by resident Fist in the Face of God mix-maker Fenriz back in July, we have the highly anticipated second installment of the series, imaginatively titled Trapped Under Vice Vol. II. In stark contrast to the style of the first volume, I wanted a style I know virtually nothing about. So I asked Fenriz for a collection of the stuff that had inspired the people who had inspired him to make music. Anyways, here is the intro from the man himself. Take it away, Fenriz.

Welcome to a time travel to the rock of 1968-1978, all across the globe from Iceland to Australia.

Last year I already made the ultimate journey in that time frame and space, but Dylan [Rockwell] wanted another one – so this is the reason why bands like Coven, High Tide, James Gang, Atomic Rooster, Horse or Buffalo are left
out here. Only the track “Jesus Freaks” has been repeated on both compilations.

There is no specific theme to this, but, being me, it is a little on the HEAVY side, hehe. ENJOY THE AUTUMN!!!

1. Fever Tree (USA) ‘Filigree & Shadow’ (1968)
