Our Take

HELMS ALEE's latest offering, "Keep This Be The Way", is a thrilling rollercoaster ride from start to finish. The album effortlessly blends elements of shoegaze, post-rock, and metal to create a unique sonic landscape that is both mesmerizing and chaotic.

From the cacophonous opening track, "Interachnid", to the haunting melodies of "Illegal Guardian", HELMS ALEE showcases their versatility and creativity. The interplay between the ethereal vocals of bassist Dana James and the thunderous riffs of guitarist Ben Verellen is nothing short of mesmerising.

Tracks like "Spider Jar" and "Word Problem" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly shift between crushing heaviness and delicate beauty. The dynamic drumming of Hozoji Matheson-Margullis adds a layer of complexity to the already intricate compositions.

"Keep This Be The Way" is a masterclass in experimental rock, pushing the boundaries of the genre while still maintaining a sense of accessibility. It's a truly immersive listening experience that demands to be heard in its entirety.

In conclusion, HELMS ALEE have once again proven why they are one of the most exciting bands in the industry. "Keep This Be The Way" is a bold and ambitious statement that solidifies their status as musical innovators. Don't sleep on this album – it's a must-listen for any music aficionado.

About the artist

Helms Alee

HELMS ALEE is not your average band, that's for sure. This Seattle-based trio, comprised of Ben Verellen, Dana James, and Hozoji Margullis, have been making waves in the music scene since their inception in 2007. Known for their unique blend of heavy riffs, intricate melodies, and ethereal vocals, HELMS ALEE have carved out a sound all their own. With influences ranging from metal and punk to shoegaze and post-rock, HELMS ALEE defy categorization. Their music is at once abrasive and gentle, chaotic and controlled. It's like being punched in the face by a velvet glove. And you can't help but enjoy it. Their live shows are a sight to behold. James' powerful vocals soar over Verellen's thunderous guitar riffs and Margullis' solid drumming, creating a sonic landscape that is both terrifying and beautiful. It's like being caught in a storm, but you don't want it to end. HELMS ALEE's latest album, "Stillicide," is a masterclass in songwriting. From the crushing opener "More Weight" to the haunting closer "Andromenous," each track is a journey in itself. The band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy, sludgy riffs with delicate, melodic passages is truly something to behold. In a music industry that often feels formulaic and predictable, HELMS ALEE are a breath of fresh air. They remind us that music can be challenging, exciting, and above all, fun. So do yourself a favour and give them a listen. You won't regret it.
