METAL TALK
“
Riders Of The Ancient Storm
is a magnificent slab of old-school traditional Metal which contains several unexpected twists and turns. [...] High tempo, clean vocals that soar with the fantastic tales that the band paints, and superb musicianship, all crafted with a retro vibe that works on every level.”
Paul Hutchings of “Metal Talk”, published September 28, 2023. [klick for Metal Talk]

HEAVY LOAD – Into Glory Ride
Se si pensa all’alone di leggenda e misticismo che spesso avvolge l’heavy metal, non si può non pensare agli HEAVY LOAD. La storica band svedese incarna alla perfezione il concetto di cult band come lo intendiamo oggi.

This is a band that does not need any sort of introduction. HEAVY LOAD was Swedish heavy metal back in the 80s. That they will be playing live at this years´ Sweden Rock Festival is a massive happening.
