This is the discography of The Hellacopters, a Swedish rock band active between 1994 and 2008. The band was formed by Nicke Andersson (vocals and guitar), Dregen (guitar), Robban Eriksson (drums) and Kenny Håkansson (bass guitar). The band released their Swedish Grammis-winning debut album[1] in 1996. Soon the band recruited The Diamond Dogs guitarist Anders Lindström to play keyboard shortly before being the opening act to Kiss[2] With the success of the band's second album Andersson was able to leave his other band Entombed to focus full-time on The Hellacopters. During the tour in support of the album, guitarist Dregen chose to leave the band to focus his time on his other band The Backyard Babies; to fulfill their touring responsibilities the band recruited Danne Andersson and Mattias Hellberg to fill in during the remaining dates of the tour.[3] With Hellberg and Lindström taking the place of Dregen during the recording of the band's third album,[4] the band changed their sound from their dirtier garage rock and garage punk sound to a more classic 1970s rock sound.[5] The band then hired Robert Dahlqvist as a full-time guitarist, solidifying the band's lineup until its breakup.[6][7] With Dahlqvist on board the band released three more studio albums and a cover album, with many EPs and limited edition releases as well. The Hellacopters disbanded amicably in 2008 so the members could move on to other projects.
