Heavy Load, Sweden's first heavy metal band album debuted in 1978. They were heavily influential and considered to be the inventors or grandfathers of the viking metal genre. In this short documentary I've compiled music, interviews and stories of this great Swedish heavy metal band Heavy Load. The band behind classics such as Full speed at high level, metal conquest, death or glory and stronger than evil. Enjoy!
Rest In Peace Ragne Wahlquist 1955 - 2025.
RIP Valhalla Warrior
