Hellsongs

About

Hellsongs is a Swedish acoustic band from Gothenburg, formed in 2004, who strip heavy metal and hard rock classics down to hushed folk arrangements - a style they call 'lounge metal'. Their 2008 debut album Hymns in the Key of 666 charted at number 9 in Sweden and was distributed across Europe, Russia, Japan and beyond, earning the band a devoted cult following. After a decade-long hiatus, they returned in 2024 with the album Return of the Hellsingers on Tapete Records.
