HELLSONGS - Hymns in the Key of 666

SCANDINAVIAN COVERS BAND FINALLY “ROCK” WITH THE DEBUT ALBUM, “HYMNS IN THE KEY OF 666” – THE DOPEST COLLECTION OF HEAVY METAL COVERS EVER… WHO WOULDDA THOUGHT METAL COULD BE SO SWEET?

COVERS INCLUDE TRACKS FROM BANDS SUCH AS MEGADETH, SLAYER AND IRON MAIDEN.

Hellsongs saw the light of day in the early fall, 2004. They kickstarted with a premiere gig in a barn out on the countryside. The three-piece managed to rehearse and arrange three songs and got cosmic response from the audience. Cheers and suggestions of new songs kept coming during the night and next show lurked around the corner. Was it the fresh air out in the countryside that made the band realise that they had something coming?

During the summer of 2005 Hellsongs were promoted by the lovely Heavy Metal radio show, Rundgång, sent on the Swedish national channel - P3. People started to pay attention to the new branch on the metal tree – lounge metal. Hellsongs attracted even more fans when Rundgâng became a television program and featured a live recording of Run to the Hills.

Within these two years Hellsongs have also established themselves as a joyful and respectable live act. The word on the streets is that the shows often end with the audience singing happily together with the band, everyone holding arms and rocking back and forth like one big, happy family!

This year the Hellsingers have finally completed their long awaited debut-album. The band has played all over Sweden, Germany and in Norway, and more European dates are coming up. The band’s webpage hellsongs.com has shown that the band has generated fans from every corner of the world.

HELLSONGS - Hymns in the Key of 666 is available through Despotz Records and distributed by Creative Vibes
