The concept and musical vision of Nickolai Hel was born out of the frustration of playing in local bands from the United States to Japan.  The original songs of those bands were generic and boring.  From 2008 to 2010 Nickolai began attempting to combine the influences of Billy Idol, Prince, and The Beatles to create a heavy pop style of music that was aggressive with a smooth visual image.  By December 2011 Nickolai Hel was ready to unleash his vision to the music world.
