NEWS - Helmet "LEFT" Release date: Friday, November 10th 2023

After "Dead to the World" in 2016, Helmet is back with their signature blend of heavy, riff-loaded rock and evocative lyrics.
"LEFT" sees Helmet – comprising frontman Page Hamilton, drummer Kyle Stevenson, guitarist Dan Beeman, and bassist Dave Case – carve out a musical landscape that is taut, muscular, and direct.

In the late ‘80s, Helmet’s straightforward hard rock stirred the American underground. The band’s 1989 debut "Strap It On" was bold enough to detonate the minds of hardcore lifers, noise-rock aficionados and metalheads whiplashed by the density of Hamilton’s riffing. Helmet proceeded to take on all comers with their Gold-certified album "Meantime". The original lineup would excel over the course of 10 years, recording two more albums, 1994’s "Betty" and 1997’s "Aftertaste" before adjourning in 1998. By that time, Hamilton’s aesthetic had rubbed off on many bands from bona fide metal units and the then-burgeoning nu-metal scene. After a few years away, Hamilton reformed the band in 2004 with all new members, recording such reputation-fortifying releases as "Size Matters" (2004), "Monochrome" (2006), "Seeing Eye Dog" (2010) and "Dead To The World" (2016).
