Iconic alt-metal act Helmet have shared the hard-hitting single Holiday.
Holiday sees the influential New York four-piece firing on all cylinders with a signature blend of heavy, riff-loaded rock and evocative lyrics. Three decades into their career, and seven years since dropping the acclaimed Dead To The World, Helmet picks up where they left off on Holiday taking no prisoners in their direct and unfiltered expression, leaving listeners with a lasting impact and a sense of urgency to examine the world around them.
In more exciting news for Helmet fans, Holiday arrives accompanied by not only a music video, but the announcement of a new full-length LEFT.
Set for release on November 10th, 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. Hamilton’s lead guitar lines feel like everything from downed power lines arcing to exploding resistors in shortwave radios. On LEFT every snare crack hits like gunfire, every solo seemingly a manifestation of rabies-induced psychosis.
Guided by Hamilton alongside co-producers Jim Kaufman and Mark Renk, and mastered by Howie Weinberg, the 11 songs on the new album are leaner and meaner in their execution than previous aural throwdowns LEFT is powered by unbridled determination, a renewed sense of purpose and a desire to create more new dialects within the musical language Hamilton invented via his use of drop-D tuning.
Fans can pre-order LEFT now which is set to be released on CD-Digisleeve, 1LP Black Vinyl and Limited 1LP Transparent Vinyl.
