Kicking off 2025 with a bang, high-energy rock’n’roll royalty, The Hellacopters, have released another smashing single from their upcoming new studio album Overdriver, which is due on 31st January via Nuclear Blast Records.

‘Do You Feel Normal’ is one of the most captivating and uplifting songs on the album despite its lyrical themes, which deal with alienation and solitude. 

The Hellacopters have written many hits in their career, and this one easily belongs in the top tier. Its enticing lead melody and chorus could become your first addiction in 2025.

The sharp looking music video for ‘Do You Feel Normal’ was shot at the beautiful historic amusement park Gröna Lund in Stockholm, Sweden, which first opened its gates in 1883. It was directed by Johan Bååth

Less than three years after their triumphant, chart-storming comeback record, Eyes Of Oblivion, which entered on #1 in their home country, on #3 in Germany, and on #6 in Finland, Sweden’s most consistently great rock outfit is back with another banger of an album called Overdriver, due out on January 31st, 2025.

In the meantime, THE HELLACOPTERS have celebrated their triumphant return by playing a show with the mighty Iron Maiden in Gothenburg in July 2022, and gigs with Ghost in Germany in June 2023, apart from their own string of headline shows throughout Europe. Eager to keep the rock flowing, February 16th, 2024 saw THE HELLACOPTERS release not one, but two stunning versions of their classic Grande Rock album, which was originally released in 1999. Grande Rock Revisited included a remastered original version and a remixed and partially re-recorded version as a companion piece, showing how the album could have sounded in a parallel universe with guitarist Dregen being in the band at the time. After making rock grande again, the group set sights on new material, debuting the phenomenal single ‘Stay With You’  in May 2024 and releasing it as limited 7inch via Lightning Records.

Their ninth full-length Overdriver was recorded at Strawberry Studio & The Honk Palace and is the first THE HELLACOPTERS album entirely produced by Nicke Andersson. As you might expect from a THEHELLACOPTERS album it’s filled to the brim with roaring guitars and earth-shattering grooves, fist-raising energy and anthemic choruses, while keeping the variety richer than ever before. The striking cover for Overdriver was created by German illustrator Max Löffler.
