In 1998 the world was rocked by a seething garage rock record entitled Supershitty To The Max. It was the debut of a furious Swedish foursome called The Hellacopters. The record put The Hellacopters on the map in one fell swoop, as well as the garage rock genre. Despite this furious start to the career of The Hellacopters, the candle slowly went out again. After Supershitty To The Max, the band
… released four more albums, but from rough, energetic garage rock The Hellacopters shifted more and more towards glitter rock. A development that reached its peak for the time being on By The Grace Of God. Prepare yourself for long guitar solos, guitar riffs without an edge, mid-tempos and slower, basically everything that The Hellacopters ended in 1998 themselves. It's a shame to say, but The Hellacopters are anything but exciting, energetic or good these days. (RWK)more
