Heavy Load was one of the early successful Swedish heavy metal bands. The Wahlquist brothers, who founded the band in 1976 along with Michael Backlund, were later producers and owners of Thunderload Records in Sweden, were at one point producing Veni Domine, and also were considering releasing a new album, though that never occurred. Misfortune struck when Thunderload Studios got severely damaged due to a water leakage in the 2000's, which meant a halt to its official existence.
