The Hellacopters sign to Nuclear Blast Records

THE HELLACOPTERS have signed to Nuclear Blast Records!

Since their formation in 1994, THE HELLACOPTERS, alongside THE HIVES, have been considered one of the most influential and important Swedish rock bands. Having won a Swedish grammy, a Kerrang! award, two Gold certifications and amassing 100 million streams to date, the legendary high energy rock ‘n’ rollers are ready to break the ground once more with their label signing to Nuclear Blast Records! To celebrate the signing, the band’s third album, Grande Rock, has been made available on digital services for the first time and a brand new studio album will be released in Spring 2022.

THE HELLACOPTERS front man Nicke Andersson comments:
“The excitement levels are sky high over here at camp HELLACOPTER. I know I said this was never gonna happen but I was wrong. Once in a blue moon that’s the case and not only do we have a brand new album ready to be unleashed upon you, dear disciples of the rock – we also have the immense pleasure of doing this together with the finest of folks at Nuclear Blast Records. Good times ahead indeed!”

Jens Prüter, Head Of A&R Nuclear Blast Europe comments:
“I was more than happy to see THE HELLACOPTERS again at their recent reunion shows. To quote Dave Grohl from an interview at the Australian Big Day Out Festival (where the band played with the FOO FIGHTERS and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS): “THE HELLACOPTERS are amazing. They’re one of the best bands you’ve ever seen in your life. I’m telling you. It’s amazing.” Of course, at the reunion shows I asked the band if they would also do a new album, but I didn’t want to build my dreams up too high. But I guess dreams can come true. Special thanks to Nicke, Robert, Boba, Dregen and their manager Patrick for giving Nuclear Blast the opportunity to work with THE HELLACOPTERS. The upcoming album proves that they are still amazing. I’m telling you.”
