Heavy Load from Sweden were one of the earliest European Metal groups along with Accept, Trance, Torch, and early Scorpions. Much like other high quality but under appreciated European traditional metal bands (220 Volt, Overdrive, Ostrogoth, Avenger) Sweden’s beery Vikings Heavy Load slugged it out in the trenches long before anybody bothered to notice ‘em. Partially to blame were ludicrously small and poorly distributed pressing of their records, but no metal this good should go unheard for any reason, damn it. Bringing the energy and passion of Motorhead to bear on Scorpions derived clever guitar stylings, Heavy Load embody a hopeful, anthemic sound evoking Viking anthems sung after a lost but well fought battle.
Debuting way back in ’78 with a self-financed (and hopelessly rare) record called Full Speed At High Level, the band were on their way to metal non-stardom, but Death Or Glory, their second album is the band’s finest hour. “Heavy Metal Angels” is a classic, fast, riffy, catchy, all that good stuff. “Might For Right” and “Something New” offer good melodies and catchy constructs, but the up-tempo, slamming riffs and unique sound of “Bleeding Streets” make it the easy highlight of the whole damn record for me. This is not to say that “Still There Is Time” and “Daybreak Ecstasy” ain’t damn good, ‘cuz they are. Really good. The record’s sound is bright and lacks bottom, and it would have been nice to give the guitars a touch more bite and lowered the volume on Ragne Wahlquist’s vocals a touch. But then, there’s amazingly sublime and forward looking European heathen anthems like “The Guitar Is My Sword” to compensate for my piddly production complaints. Raise your weapons and march along, gang. This one’s a Swedish metal classic.

HEAVY LOAD - DEATH OR GLORY (1982, THUNDERLOAD)
Ragne Wahlquist - vocals, guitar
Torbjorn Ragnesjo - bass
Eddie Malm - guitar
Styrbjorn Wahlquist - drums
Background
Heavy Metal traditionalists who are not familiar with Heavy Load would probably be awe struck on the first glance of the album cover, a glorious drawing of a musclebound viking about to cut down a menacing polar bear in some icy wasteland, truly authentic metal spirit! Heavy Load were one of Sweden's first metal bands to gain a national profile and were regular chart placers in their day, something carried on by fellow Swedish metal bretheren Hammerfall to the present day. The Wahlquist brothers formed the band in 1976 and 'Full Speed At High Level' saw daylight in 1978, with the above lineup in place for 1981's 'Metal Conquest' which took their homeland by storm. Admittedly the music of 'Death And Glory' isn't as extreme as the spikes, fire and axes that adorn the back cover, but their harmonic brand of metal was a cut above the rest of many Euro metal flops.
The Songs
'Heavy Metal Angels' introduces Heavy Load's agenda, melodic guitar work with inspirational vocal work and the undying message that metal is their (and our) way of life. Speed is introduced on second track 'Might Is Right' with some Maiden-ish guitar lines, which could be disputed as both bands had existed as long as the other. 'Something New' has more in common with Treat rather than Toranaga, an extremely AOR based chorus a forerunner to Sweden's AOR kings. 'The Guitar Is My Sword' likewise is hard rock rather than all out metal, and 'Take Me Away' while containing decent riffs isn't heavy enough to warrant the bands maniacal metal histronics. 'Trespasser' is more cut and thrust thankfully, likewise 'Still There Is Time', which exemplifies some marvelous vocal harmonies. The rest of the material is adequate if nothing else, not exactly addictive, 'Traveller' the best of the bunch thanks to the superb guitar solos which have that certain metal atmosphere that 1982 was well known for, not state of the art production wise, but played to the utmost of professional standards.
In Summary
While above average for the most part 'Death Or Glory' still can't hold a dripping candle to Saxon during the same period. The difference is in the production and melody which Heavy Load had in abundance, but not quite enough to warrant being mentioned alongside the true greats. They quickly released 'Stronger Than Evil' the following year, which essentially is the same album in regards to sound and quality. It was to be the last outing for Heavy Load despite efforts to record a new album over the following years, as the Wahlquist brothers seemed to be more content producing than creating their own music. Suitably, Hammerfall paid homage by covering a Heavy Load track in 2000, a fitting tribute to a worthy band whose metal beliefs should be admired by fans young and old.
