Hellacopters – Grande Rock 2CD

The Hellacopters – Grande Rock

Swedish high energy rock and roll band THE HELLACOPTERS released its eighth studio album called “”Eyes Of Oblivion”” on April 1st, 2022. It marked the first full-length since the release of their temporary farewell record “”Head Off”” in 2008, and was met with massive acclaim from fans and media alike. Charting #1 in Sweden, #3 in Germany, #6 in Finland, the band celebrated a triumphant return culminating in a show with the mighty Iron Maiden in Gothenburg in July 2022, and gigs with Ghost in Germany in June 2023. On February 16th, 2024 they will now release not one, but two stunning versions of their classic “Grande Rock” album.

Entitled “Grande Rock Revisited” it has been remastered by Henke Jonsson, and furthermore has been completely remixed by Michael Ilbert at Hansa Studios, Berlin using the original multi-track tapes and reanimated with a whole lot of additional layers of rock! The result presents how the record could have sounded in a parallel universe with Dregen being in the band at the time, and with a more balanced mix, something the band had been pondering about for quite a while. “We all love loud guitars”, Nicke explains, “but not at the expense of drums and bass, which is pretty much the gist of the original mix. It’s ALL guitars”. So whether you do not want to spend way over 100 Euro for one of the rare original LPs or are excited to hear a revamped, re-rocked new mix of “Grande Rock”, “Grande Rock Revisited” gives you both plus a double-album-cover design by singer/guitarist Nicke added as visual treat on top. THE HELLACOPTERS make Rock Grande again!
