The Hellacopters were a Swedish rock band that was formed in 1994 and disbanded October 26, 2008. They have released six full length albums of their own material, one cover album, two compilations of non-album work, six EPs, and many other official releases. In October 2007 the band officially announced their break up after an extensive European tour and the release of a double disc live album. The band was, together with The Hives, one of the most important Swedish bands in the garage rock revival and one of the most influential rock bands in Sweden.
Less than three years after their triumphant, chart-storming comeback record, Eyes Of Oblivion,which entered on #1 in their home country and on #3 in Germany, Sweden's most consistently great rock outfit is back with another banger of an album. Overdriver was recorded at Strawberry Studio & The Honk Palace and is the first The Hellacopters album entirely produced by Nicke Andersson. As you might expect from The Hellacopters album it's filled to the brim with roaring guitars and earth-shattering grooves, fist-raising energy and anthemic choruses, while keeping the variety richer than ever before. The striking cover for Overdriver was created by German illustrator Max Löffler.
