A worthwhile return...
I am not a big fan of comeback hoopla, but I view the looming return of Helmet in September as a welcome one.
As a band that caught my ear back in the arly 90s with their corroded metal sound that was a soundtrack to visions of a decaying urban warzone. At their height of fame, I managed to catch them do a secret gig at the very small and now defunct Cactus Club (San Jose's own dirty little CBGB's for the better part of two decades) and managed to lose my watch (and nearly my neck) in the mosh pit. A great gig really.
I always felt that Helmet called it a day too early, and it is good to see Page Hamilton start the machine back up.
