The Hellsongs album “Hymns In The Key Of 666“ compiles a kind of greatest hits of heavy metal. From AC/DC to Metallica and Slayer all the way to Iron Maiden – represented by two cover versions – the giants of the genre can be found here. “Most fans only know the chorus, but our singer Siri sings so that you get the rest as well”, says Karlsson. “We attempt to freely interpret the atmosphere of the songs in order to make them interesting. However, as soon as the refrain sets in, you should be able to recognise the track.“

While band founder Karlsson selects the songs, the often beguiling Siri Bergnéhr creates the unusual arrangements, with keyboarder Johan Bringhed contributing his knowledge in music theory. Together the trio call themselves Hellsongs, “because all the bands whose tracks we have selected have this typical metal image with hell, Satan and the devil’s horns hand sign. We feel at home in heavy metal”, says Karlsson. The album title “Hymns In The Key Of 666“ was inspired by Stevie Wonder’s “Songs In The Key Of Life“. “To us it was important to demonstrate that there is not an ounce of irony involved. It is about the love for and the appreciation of the good sides of heavy metal.“
