Helmet was the reason I ever picked up a guitar and started a band. I'm a huge fan of the early Helmet stuff but the later songs kinda suck. Well have no fear - it looks like the old Helmet is back. Musically this is very reminiscent of early 90's Helmet. My only complaint is the vocals are weak. Page sounds like he blew out his voice. He sounded like this when I saw them last September. Aside from that it's exciting to hear the king of the riff back in action.
The new album is called
Monochrome and it hits stores on July 18th - hopefully they hook me up with a copy.
The old stuff
