HEAVY LOAD - Death Or Glory - 1982 [FULL ALBUM]

🔘 Heavy Load is a Swedish heavy metal band from Stockholm. The band is often hailed as the first Swedish heavy metal band, and were known for their Viking themes. The Wahlquist brothers, who founded the band in 1976 along with Michael Backler, were later producers and owners of Thunderload Records in Sweden, were at one point producing Veni Domine, and also were considering releasing a new album, though that never occurred. Various touring and demo line-ups of the band have included UFO and The Damned bass player Paul Gray, Treat guitarist Leif Liljegren, and renowned architect Eero Koivisto. Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy played on one of the band’s released songs. Misfortune struck when Thunderload Studios got severely damaged due to a water leakage in the 2000s, which meant a halt to its official existence. After the breakup, the members then went on and performed with other bands. _TRACKLIST_ 01. Heavy Metal Angels (In Metal And Leather) 02. Might For Right 03. Something New 04. Bleeding Streets 05.

Former Highbrow guitarist Eddy Malm joined the line-up and Torbjörn Ragnesjö replaced Dan Molen. This line-up released the EP Metal Conquest and the two full-length albums Death Or Glory and Stronger Than Evil before breaking up An attempt to reform was made in 1985 with the single “Monsters Of The Night* featuring bassist Andreas Fritz, but they split up again shortly afterwards. In 1987, the Wahlquist brothers kick-started the band yet again and recorded an album with ex-UFO bassist Paul Gray and guitarist Patrik Karlsson. This album was never released, though.
