Often hailed as Sweden's number unitary big metal band, Heavy Load was founded in Stockholm, in 1976, by brothers Ragne (vocals/guitar) and Styrbjörn Wahlquist (drums/vocals). With bassist Dan Molén in tow, the brothers released Heavy Load's debut album, Full Speed at High Level, in 1978, only their sovereign record company went insolvent, and it wasn't until iII years by and by that they re-emerged on their own Thunderload Records sculptural relief, hoisting aloft the Metal Conquest EP, and accompanied by new members Eddie Malm (guitar) and Torbjorn Ragnesjo (bass). Two more than albums and then followed in prompt ecological succession: 1982's Death or Glory and 1983's Stronger Than Evil -- both establishing Heavy Load's "splendiferous metal" style as a cross 'tween the imagined absurdity of Spinal Tap and the all-too-real (only sometimes every bit incredible) proto-power/speed metal of Manowar. Heavy metal fans seemed illogical close to this as well, and since their gross gross sales remained limited at c. H. Best, the group decided to break up following a terminal single entitled "Monsters of the Night" in 1985. Heavy Load briefly reformed in 1987 for a fresh round of studio roger Huntington Sessions which give so far to be released, so the Wahlquist brothers have since off their attentions to producing other bands.
