LABEL: Interscope
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 06/23/2017
Driven by signature breakthrough single “Unsung,” Helmet’s 1992 major label debut brought post-hardcore heaviness to the mainstream. Meantime further refined bandleader Page Hamilton’s vision, with his group’s second full-length harnessing the brutalist, percussive pound of metal with the rainbow-prismatic chord layering and avant-shred tendencies of his jazz-fusion background. “Unsung” ironically finds Hamilton exploring his voice in a more melodic way, while his heavy howl anchors hard-twitched tracks like “Turned Out.” A gold-certified classic that led to tours with Faith No More, Ministry and Sepultura, and an essential listen for fans of Nineties-era heavy music.
