Legendary Swedish high energy rock 'n' roll band, The Hellacopters, recently signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records. The label has checked in with the following update>

"We are proud to announce a new studio album by legendary Swedish high energy rock and roll band, The Hellacopters, called Eyes Of Oblivion, which is set to be released on April 1st, 2022. It will be the first album since the release of their temporary farewell record, Head Off, in 2008! And boy, y'all are in for a treat!"

Nicke Andersson (vocals & guitars) reveals: "The album has 10 songs and although it’s obviously not easy to be objective at all, I think musically it sums up everything we’ve touched upon from the start in 1994 up until now. Some of the songs date back as far as 10 years or more, and some were written more recently. It’s rock and roll played with high energy, so for lack of a better term I say High Energy Rock And Roll. You could say it sounds like The Beatles meets Judas Priest or Lynyrd Skynyrd meets the Ramones but the best way to describe this album is that it sounds like The Hellacopters today."

To celebrate the kickoff of this new chapter of The Hellacopters, the Swedes are sharing with you a brand new single, the anthemic album opener, "Reap A Hurricane". Check out the official video below. Pick up the single here.

"Reap A Hurricane" continues the good old Hellacopters tradition of releasing physical 7" singles in each album cycle. The 7" vinyl of "Reap A Hurricane" will be released on February 4th, 2022, and it features an exclusive song called "Done Fighting" on its B-side. The 7" is available in two different colour variants here, red and green, which applies to both the vinyl and the respective cover.  

The Hellacopters were formed in 1994 by Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Andreas Tyrone "Dregen" Svensson (guitar), Kenny Håkansson (bass) and Robert Eriksson (drums). Andersson is renowned for his work in death metal band Entombed and Dregen from his main band Backyard Babies. Together with The Hives, The Hellacopters are considered one of the most important and influential Swedish rock bands - they achieved two Gold certifications, won the Swedish grammy and a Kerrang! award, and have amassed 100 million streams to date. The Hellacopters reunited in 2016 and have proven an unstoppable force ever since, performing at Sweden Rock Festival, Psycho Las Vegas, Download, Hellfest, Roskilde, Ilosaarirock, and many more.
