It would be a rare case if anyone were even aware of Zone Zero as they only put out 1 Single and a few demo tapes in the early 80’s before disbanding. In the land of early Swedish Heavy Metal, the very first and most important band was without question Heavy Load, who started in the late 70’s. With that said, Zone Zero does have a very strong Heavy Load influence and were also influenced by Judas Priest and the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. There were quite a few bands that popped up in the early 80’s in Europe that could have easily been apart of the N.W.O.B.H.M. but they weren’t because that period of time only included England.
