A compilation by of the pioneers of heavy metal from the Netherlands and Belgium. The compilation was compiled by writers A.H.J. Dautzenberg and Vincent Loozen. They deliver a document with great cultural-historical value and focus on the Belgian and Dutch heavy metal scene in the years 1979 to 1984. That was a time when hard music slowly took shape in the Low Countries.

Crash! Bang! Wallop! is a document about the early days of a new music genre. A period where there were no sub-genres yet, making the album very diverse and varied with more blues leaning classic rock (Bodine and Teaser), raw garage proto metal (S to S and Vopos) and fledgling speed metal (Acid and The Rogers).

In addition to a very special early demo release of Bodine's Shooting Dice, the compilation includes, as a first time ever, two previously unreleased songs by: Mover, Arjen Lucassen's first band, and from Belgium's Victim.
