Maninnya Blade

This Swedish band's Merchants In Metal album featured a style bordering on speed/thrash, which for 1986 was inventive and a bit ahead of its time. Noted guitarist Mike Wead (Mercyful Fate, Abstrakt Algebra, among others) was a member before and after (but not during) the recording of Merchants, and after a later lineup dissolved, he and others formed Hexenhaus. Apparently the band is active in one form or another even though there haven't been recordings in years and officially only the one album was put out, the later albums being odds-and-ends compilations.
