Formed in New York City in the late 80s, Helmet burst onto the music scene with a distinctive blend of alternative metal, post-hardcore, and punk influences.
Led by the enigmatic and fiercely talented frontman, Page Hamilton, they became known for their bone-crushing riffs, thought-provoking lyrics, and a rhythm section that could shake the very foundation of any venue. While other bands have come and gone, Helmet has remained a constant force, unyielding in their commitment to crafting intense music. Their albums have been a sonic journey through the complexities of the human condition, tackling subjects ranging from personal introspection to societal struggles, all with a sense of raw honesty and intelligence.
But what sets Helmet apart from their peers is their ability to adapt and evolve without sacrificing their unique identity. In an era of fleeting trends and disposable music, Helmet has never compromised their sound or artistic integrity.
Today, Helmet’s relevance is as strong as ever. Their music resonates with both longtime fans who have followed their journey from the beginning and new listeners hungry for authentic, unapologetic rock. Their live performances are a testament to their enduring power, leaving audiences in awe as they witness the sonic onslaught and Hamilton’s commanding stage presence.
Helmet’s highly anticipated new album, “LEFT,” marks their triumphant return to the studio after a seven-year hiatus. This sonic masterpiece, expertly mixed and produced by the acclaimed Jim Kaufman and mastered by 20-time Grammy Award winner Howie Weinberg (Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and many more), solidifies Helmet’s position as one of America’s most influential alternative rock bands. Helmet’s new album “LEFT” is the most elegant and articulate sonic assault of the year! .
