The Hellacopters are a Swedish rock band that first took flight in the mid-1990s, known for their energetic blend of garage rock, punk, and classic rock 'n' roll. The band was formed in 1994 by Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Dregen (lead guitar), Kenny Håkansson (bass), and Robert Eriksson (drums). Their raw sound and high-octane performances quickly earned them a dedicated following in the Scandinavian rock scene and beyond.

Their discography includes a number of acclaimed albums that showcase the band's evolution from their gritty garage rock beginnings to a more polished but still hard-hitting rock sound. "Grande Rock" and "High Visibility" are among their most celebrated works from the early 2000s, characterized by catchy riffs and memorable hooks. In 2005, they released "Rock & Roll Is Dead," an ironic nod to their undying commitment to the genre that refused to conform to the then-prevailing musical trends. "By the Grace of God" and "Cream of the Crap! Volume 1" cemented their legacy as rock purists and innovators. After a hiatus, The Hellacopters revived their energy with new releases like "Eyes Of Oblivion" and engaging singles such as "The Electric Index Eel (Revisited)" and "So Sorry I Could Die," ensuring their place in the pantheon of rock 'n' roll greats. With their unyielding passion for the raw power of rock music, The Hellacopters continue to enthuse a new generation of listeners while satisfying the appetites of their long-time fans.
