Hellacopters, The Vinyl Records
One of the most influential rock bands in Sweden, the Hellacopters combine the raw Detroit garage-punk sound of MC5 and the Stooges with the blazing riffs of AC/DC and Motörhead. Emerging in 1994, the band found commercial success in 1996 with the release of their Grammis Award-winning debut album, Supershitty to the Max! They issued six more acclaimed efforts, including the gold-selling High Visibility (2000) and By the Grace of God (2002), before disbanding in 2008. They reunited in 2016 for a series of live performances and, in 2022, released their long-awaited eighth studio effort, Eyes of Oblivion.
