HELMET, the visionary band that helped shape a generation of
bands, have signed to earMUSIC and are set to release their new album ‘Dead To
The World’.
The long anticipated new album – the first in six years - comes with heavy guitar riffs, blasting drums and the distinctive voice of front man Page Hamilton. The album is energy at its purest form. Every track adds its unique flavour to mix of hard rock, alternative, metal and punk, showing the world again how versatile a rock album can be.
Produced by Page Hamilton himself and mixed by award winning record producer, engineer and mixer Jay Baumgardner, Dead To The World will be released as 1CD digipak, transparent Vinyl and Digital on October 28th, 2016 on earMUSIC.
A European tour is to be announced soon.
Page Hamilton offered these thoughts: "Catch phrases, punchlines, guns, bluster, ammo, incivility, impatience, murder. You, me, us, them, life, liberty and the pursuit of property.
“We disagree, we disrespect; discourse disappears in the age of access. When in doubt GET LOUD! It's my way or the highway, thank you Lawrence Tierney!
“Religious tchotchkes nailed to the walls of homes above
razor-scarred mirrors. Do you meditate, levitate, pray? Live in LA! I'm a huge
fan, got a perfume line, smell nice, plan my next move. Threats loom, the bad
news network blooms, fear sells. Just get em out, the spying neighbors,
suspects, terrorists our forefathers intent. 'If you don't like it, leave' and
call it democracy." - Page Hamilton, September 2016Page Hamilton offered these thoughts: "Catch phrases, punchlines, guns, bluster, ammo, incivility, impatience, murder. You, me, us, them, life, liberty and the pursuit of property.

ABOUT HELMET
The Gold certified and Grammy nominated band Helmet has released eight widely acclaimed albums since originally forming in 1989 in New York City. Fusing Zeppelinesque riffing with a vehement post-hardcore precision, augmented by dense chords and offbeat time signatures based in singer Hamilton's formal jazz training. The combination was that rarest of visionary creations--it was successful in its own time.
Bands such as the Deftones, Rise Against, Pantera and Tool have all cited Helmet as an influence, and not just for Helmet's blistering, aggro approach but for the band's sheer musicality and brains. See, Helmet, among other things, is a work of art.
