The Dynamite Vikings was established in Copenhagen in 1998 by Estonian guitarist Jaak Sooäär, Swedish bass player Thommy Andersson and Danish drummer Karsten Mathiesen to explore new territories of classical power trio of guitar, bass and drums. Since then the music of the trio has developed to unique original music style which could be described as "progressive postmodern jazzrock". Although starting out from jazzy background, the reviewers have mentioned Zappa and earlier King Crimson as stylemarks of The Dynamite Vikings. Recently the trio has experimented with unorthodox grooves using the new possibilities of live-electronics. A Live concert recorded at Jazzkaar Festival, Tallinn in April 2008 by Estonian TV can be seen on http://etv.err.ee/arhiiv.php?id=80158Quotes on the latest CD "Search For Happiness" (Cowbell Music)"The second release from this Danish-Estonian trio comes racing out of the starting gate as a tight and funky Prog-fusion with molten drums, spiky bass and pungent wah-wah guitar that force you to sit up and take notice: a wonderfully heavy and inventive example of what three instrumental virtuosos sound like when an uncanny empathy lets them get their teeth into gristly jazz-rock riffs that most bands would have to spit out in disgust."

„Estonian guitar virtuoso Jaak Sooäär together with Swedish bassist Thommy Andersson and Danish drummer Kalle Mathiesen are the electric chain called The Dynamite Vikings. The result sounds marvelous, hard beating and dynamic, kind of punkrock containing tonal elements of jazz, which combined with humor, free and singing makes a real rhythm bomb. Great record, and definitely a great band to perform live. (Osku Rajala, Finnish jazz magazine Jazzrytmit, 5/2006)"Vielleicht kann ich es so sagen: wenn King Crimson 1981 zum Jazz konvertiert wären und damals nicht der typisch schlichte Rhythmus vorgeherrscht hätte, wäre man schon dicht an der Musik der Dynamitwikinger. Schön schräges Album, das nur wärmstens empfohlen werden kann!" (Ragazzi Music, Germany)
