HEAVY LOAD - Metal Conquest (Ltd 200 / Hand-Numbered Box) out april 5, 2024
Limited 200 copies hand-numbered box set including:
- Exclusive 180gr blue vinyl in gatefold sleeve, including 8-page LP-sized booklet and extra CD with bonus tracks.
- Deluxe digipak CD with a 24-page booklet and bonus tracks.
- T-shirt.
- Patch.
- RAGNE WAHLQUIST - Wahlgaard Saga II BOOK (Novel by Ragne Wahlquist of Heavy Load. The second part of a series of novels).
"Metal Conquest" is remastered directly from the original analogue tapes by the Wahlquist Brothers.
Finally, the classic five song album "Metal Conquest" from 1981 is released in the form originally planned. At last, the sixth song is on the re-release. In addition, three bonus tracks are included on the accompanying CD of the vinyl.
EXTENSIVE BOOKLET AND GATEFOLD COVER
The re-release of "Metal Conquest" follows the tradition of the preceding re-releases of the Heavy Load catalogue. The booklet comes with the lyrics, a large number of authentic photos and the band members’ own words about each track. Moreover, the brothers reveal what is the origin of their songs’ and lyrics’ influence from the mythic Viking World.
FOR THE WELFARE OF MEN
The song "For the Welfare of Man" was originally planned to be the sixth track on "Metal Conquest". Due to the band’s very limited studio time, and the brother’s dire finances back in the day, the sixth song ended up not being recorded. However, while listening to some demo tapes, damaged in the great flood of the brother’s own studio in January 2001, the brothers was very surprised to hear a demo version of the song made by them in the mid-eighties. After time-consuming restoration and mixing in the brothers’ new studio, the song has now taken its place on the vinyl – more than forty years later. Now the album is a six-shooter as originally planned.

Shuddersome Soundscape #9: Halloween
Look who finally made it to the Halloween day post. Almost caught up now.
And what better way to belatedly celebrate the grand Eve of festivities than with a 13 minute long ode to the day, complete with a wonderfully spooky story.
Here's the epic song "Halloween" by the iconic power metal band Helloween.
If you could spare a moment to check out my Ko-fi page... I would be ever so grateful. Right here!
