Henrik Lundberg and Mattias Wellhag
(also in Preserved in Grace) met during a studio session outside of Skövde, Sweden, some fifteen years ago. H. playing bass in Masquerade at the time, and M. singing in some crap band that were going absolutely nowhere, and pretty slow at that...
The two became really good friends when H. later joined that very same crap band... Ever since, they' ve talked about how cool it would be to write some music together, just for the fun of it.
Many hours were spent drinking beer and headbanging to 80:s hard rock, fantasising about putting a band together.
Nothing happened, obviously, until Masquerade more or less fell asleep and M:s crap band disappeared into oblivion about ten years later...
It was about that time M. bought himself a Gibson Explorer (the coolest guitar known to man, if you ask M...) and some cheap studio equipment and started experimenting away, not really knowing what the hell he was doing...
At the same time H was rockin' out like a hard man in his living room creating interesting noise with his Gibson Les Paul arsenal (the coolest guitars known to man, if you ask H…).
Things suddenly started sounding pretty awesome and the result of that, is: House Of Heavy.
After two years of writing and recording together in M:s livingroom (faster than the speed of light!) the self titled debut album is, belive it or not, finished!
In September -08 HoH signs a digital distribution deal with Metal Blade and also manage to flirt their way into a world wide deal by signing on for the mighty Spiritual Beast Records in October -08, for a physical release.
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David

What's goin' on House Of Heavy? All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. If I could have just one wish, it would be to wake up to your songs in the morning. I keep searching for you between the cushions. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Panoramic aromavision is the future. I relentlessly desire cotton candy lollipops. How can I help but use your eyes as a means for self-asphyxiation? Your intoxicating reflection can but incorporate freely into the powerful surface of a disintegrating mirror set afloat upon a swarm of locusts. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris.
