History

Released
1991
Music
Fate (Peter Slotta) — "Frontpage #4 (intro)"
Group
Warriors of the Wasteland — Belgium, founded 1986

The third numbered intro from Warriors of the Wasteland, a Belgian cracking group founded in 1986. Released in 1991, the intro features music by Fate (Peter Slotta) — his "Frontpage #4 (intro)" composition is preserved in the HVSC. WOW was one of the few Belgian groups to achieve international recognition in the C64 scene, operating from a country that sat geographically between the dominant Dutch, German, and French scenes. Doc Snyder's page documents several WOW intros with credits spanning coders like Ispace and xIII, and musicians including EVS (Edwin van Santen) and Nantco Bakker. The scrolltext from another WOW intro lists members as Chacke, Jones, Tornado, Brainkiller, Zod, Apollo, and Ispace. A 2018 nostalgic release coded by xIII for the ICC competition noted that "WOW is not back but will never be forgotten" — a fitting epitaph for a group that left a lasting impression on the Benelux scene.
