No Remorse Records will officially re-issue the entire back catalogue of Swedish Metallers HEAVY LOAD. The albums have been out of print since the 80s and apart from bootlegs (with poor sound quality) and rare Japanese CD releases they have never been officially available on CD so far. The material will be remastered directly from the original analogue tapes by Ragne and Styrbjörn Wahlquist themselves at Atlantis Grammofon in Stockholm. All reissues will be expanded with bonus tracks (demos and songs that were recorded for the albums but had to be dropped due to the limited playing time on LPs) and they will be available on CD (in deluxe digipaks) and vinyl LPs (with gatefold covers). The booklets will also be designed by the Wahlquist brothers. They will feature previously unpublished photos, as well as stories about how the songs came about. The series of reissues will start in early Summer of 2017 with "Stronger Than Evil" and continue back through their production.
