"It all started in 2004 when we started to fiddle around with some old metal favorite tracks of ours. We rehearsed three songs and had great fun. Since it felt good, we decided to try them out live and a few weeks later they were premiered at a birthday party, in a barn outside of Göteborg. Little did we know what that first show would lead to. What do Motörhead, Refused, Rage Against the Machine, AC/DC, and Green Day all have in common? Probably much to your surprise, they all have written lyrics that all work pretty well in a discourse of resistance against an era characterized more and more by heartless nationalism, racism/fascism and egoism? For every day that goes by now, there is a new idiotic idea presented. They are way too often aimed at kicking down on the ones already on the ground, which seem to be like TNT for regular Joe's who feel betrayed by society. The latter feeling might sometimes be understandable, but since when did spreading fear, building walls and trashing educational systems have become a great solution to anything? Since when is a human being less worth because of his/her ethnicity, gender, sexual preferences or religious believing? Well, our response is concise -- whenever someone will try get us standing in that line -- well, fuck you, we won't do what you tell us. So, what to do? Are we the only ones feeling like total basket cases in a world spiraling downwards? Hopefully not, and if there is one thing that we have learned through the years, it would be that the thing called making/playing/listening to music is a truly potent magic. There are few things that glue us together as efficiently. Thus, we are more than proud and excited to once again present a new Hellsongs album. We like to see it as a beacon of light in very dark ages. We added four original tracks with more or less on the same topic as the cover versions. You will hear more vocals, more drums, more instruments in general -- played by a bigger and angrier gang than ever before. Hopefully you will like it. We do! Now, let's end these seasons in the abyss and instead try to walk together in equality? We know at least, that we would much rather be dead, than not having tried at all. See you on the road!" --Hellsongs, 2024
