Hellsongs started out in the early fall, 2004. After instant positive response they recorded three songs. This recording lead to more gigs and fans all over the globe. In 2006 they released the debut ep "Lounge" which consists of six tracks of haunting versions of old metal classics such as Run to the Hills (originally by Iron Maiden,) Jump (originally by Van Halen) and Orgasmatron (originally by Motorhead.)
