Thought I would make a thread where we collect HEAVY LOAD related material.
I have posted much of it at their Official facebook page already but there is more of it out there. Please contribute!.

fantastic post Strappado! Since you are in touch with Eddy, can you tell us what happened with the album recorded after 'Monsters of the Night', but never came out?

Easily the best thread I've seen here in a while. Great job!
I can't add much though. It was amazing to be in Athens a few years ago and have Heavy Metal Angels blasting out in the bars!
Hopefully they see sense and let someone like High Roller or BBTAD do proper reissues of the albums. I managed to pick up a few on ebay years ago before they became really expensive. Amazing band.

I have heard the unreleased album, hehehe. :) VERY good.

WHERE AND HOW???

From original demo tapes.

[Prince Hector]

The pioneers of the Swedish Heavy Metal explosion of the 80's!
PS:I wanna hear that unreleased album, too...

Please share it with us :)

Well, I have 24 original Heavy load demo tapes.. But sharing them on the internet is NOT an option since there will be countless amounts of bootlegs made from them, and the only chance these will be spread if is the band themselves wants to make some kind of compilation release, and the chances for that is sadly very small.

Too sad they don't care about their music anymore

Here is part of my Heavy Load Collection. Test pressings, still sealed album, 24 original demo cassettes, satin jacket, shirts, promo photos, promo stickers, promo Pictures, photographs from their first ever gig in 1977, backstage passes, posters etc.

I think everyone knows that HEAVY LOAD is the strongest band in the world.

What a lot of people don't know however, is that Shorinji Kempo is the strongest martial arts form:

(contact me for high-resolution picture)

The above is a scan of an A3 poster from circa 1980, which shows Ragne and Styrbjörn showcasing martial arts on Gärdet in Stockholm. The design style of the poster is reminiscent of the back side of their albums. I only have one copy of this poster, and thus as far as I know it is the rarest piece of (very vaguely) HEAVY LOAD-related memorabilia.

has anybody saved the photos uploaded by jahaosch? please re-up them!

i was messaged, asking for the old live concert video, but it is missing...
possibly was recovered among many nameless files.

It was cool, but whatever...
if you seen the fake/live video album, then not needed.

Like black sabbath, there is nothing really exciting onstage, just have to be a die hard fan.
