The Bootlegs

Bootlegs was one of the bigger names in Icelandic Metal history at the end of last century, between 1986-1991, playing pure old-school unadulterated Thrash Metal and sometimes called Metallica of Iceland.
During that time, they released 2 full length albums and had songs on couple of Compilation albums. The band was part of the Smekkleysa group which was own by Sugarcubes.
Bootlegs toured in Denmark 1991 with help from Roskilde-festival crew as the festival lineup for 1991 was already set, and Denmark has not yet recovered from that tour. At the end of 1991 the members of the band all went their separate ways and some continued on with other projects.
1998 saw a comeback with a big reunion concert where most of the members that had been with the band in the early days came back together. This was recorded and released in 2006 on a Live CD.
In 2010 original band members started playing again on few big concert, including playing the inaugural Rokkjötnar in 2012/2015 and with Entombed 2012. In 2014 Minotauro Records Re-Released both albums, WC Monster and Bootlegs as Digi packs with bonus songs from the Live 2006 album.
End of 2014 the guys went into studio to record new material which was released in July 2015 on “Ekki fyrir viðkvæma”. The Old boys are back to show you how it was done back in the days.
