HOUSE OF HEAVY Enlists Former SHOTGUN MESSIAH Drummer

April 2, 2009

HOUSE OF HEAVY, the Swedish band formed by MASQUERADE bassist Henrik Lundberg and P.I.G. singer Mattias Wellhag, has recruited former SHOTGUN MESSIAH drummer Stixx.

Commented the group: "We start to jam on Saturday in Stixx's basement outside of Skövde, Sweden. We are also in the process of recruiting a lead guitarist and things are looking very good at the moment. The plan is to take the show out on the road late summer early fall and to have a new record out this time next year."

Formed in 2006 by longtime friends Henrik Lundberg and Mattias Wellhag, HOUSE OF HEAVY "crafts blistering, arena rock that echoes the late-'80s output of classic metal with a modern twist," according to a press release. "The duo began collaborating after spending years in and out of other bands. Two years of living-room rehearsals, home-recorded demos, and late nights spent just listening to music eventually landed the pair a digital distribution deal with Metal Blade and an international deal with Spiritual Beast Records, resulting in HOUSE OF HEAVY's full-length debut in January 2009."
