The Hellbats are a Rock'n'Roll band from France, that plays a distressing, contemporary music, which is both dark and heavy. Influenced by all degenerate spawn of dirty, they mix their recipe with psychotic heavy rock and energetic punk rock.

The Hellbats have more than 200 concerts to their credit throughout Europe (France, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland) and the USA... they have spread their venom from Berlin to Hollywood.
After a period of doubts and incertainty, they chose to continue the adventure with a bass player (Nasty Samy, who played in various punk rock and surf bands). They began to work again in August 2006, to prepare their new start... with new gigs booked at the end of the year and a new album which will be released at the beginning of 2007. A new album which will be dedicated to Nico, whose name and memory will always be tied to the band.

Their bass player was also a member of Hangman's Chair and Third Arm.
