Requested. Thanks to Stefan W for the help.

Formed in the fall of 83, influenced by bands such as Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe och Rush. Ruthless recorded their first demo in 1984. They had no singer at this point so they borrowed Classe Pålsson from Mordor who sang on the songs "I Will" and "Can't You See". Benka sang on "Fifteen Go To Hell". They however soon found a good singer in Jocke Gustavsson. With the new line-up they did a legendary gig at the Ramundersschool 27/10-84 together with bands such as Mordor and Trazzel. In december the band went to Visby to open for Six Feet Under (feat Björn Lodin). They later changed rehearsal place and started to play more and more with Anders brother Robert Krusell on drums instead of Benka. The band soon changed name to Airborne and recorded another demo in 1986. More info at: http://www.fwoshm.com/index/R/1104-ruthless-swe
