Vicious Insurrection (Snæfellsjökull album)

Vicious Insurrection is the debut studio album by Icelandic heavy metal band Snæfellsjökull, released on May 15, 1987 by and. While later albums have a more fantasy-based edge, Vicious Insurrection, along with Morbid Happenings and Insomnia, is notable for "Satanic" themes.

The production of the album is rather poor. In the liner notes of ' reissue of the album, Ragnar Hauksson admits that the band neglected to take advice from producers Terry Taylor and Mick McKenna, as much of the band were only starting to learn English at this point. Often, the interpreter hired to translate for the band members couldn't hear them over the instruments being played.
