The Vicious was formed by Robert Petterson (Regulations, The Lost Patrol Band) on vocals and André Sandström (ex. D.S.-13 and The Lost Patrol Band) on drums. They recruited Sara Almgren (ex. The (International) Noise Conspiracy) on guitar and Andreas Johansson (Cult of Luna) on bass. I August '06 Andreas left the band and was replaced by Erik (who also sings in the band Insurgent Kid). In early 2005 they recorded their first 7", Suicidal Generation, for Cage Match Federation. The 7" got rave reviews and the first press was quickly sold out. In late summer 2005 they went into the studio to record a 12" together with Stefan Granberg from Randy. The six songs are a great reminder of the days when punk rock was punk rock and it echoes the sound of bands like The Damned, Dead Boys, Sex Pistols and such. The 12" was released on Ny Våg Records. In late 2006, the "Alienated" LP was recorded, along with the songs that would be released on the "Obsessive" single. Both are available together on a CD, or separately on vinyl, from Feral Ward records. The Vicious broke up. Almost all members went to form band Masshysteri.
