HELMET ANNOUNCE 2015 BETTY U.S. TOUR
2-SET SHOWS TO FEATURE THE 1994 MASTERPIECE PLAYED TOP TO BOTTOM
AND A CAREER SPANNING SECOND SET!
On the heels of their 40 date European tour, Helmet are pleased to announce a tour of the United States in February 2015. The band will be playing their critically lauded 1994 Betty album from start to finish, followed by a second set spanning the entirety of Helmets catalog.
Billed as the thinking mans metal band, Helmet provided an alternative to the grunge bands of the time with their clean cut aesthetic and raw, unrelenting, propulsive sound. Betty came on the trails of the bands first mainstream success, 1992s Meantime. The cut Milquetoast became a music video staple on MTV and the album was critically praised for its genre-defying exploration into jazz, blues and improvisation. As music writer Darrell Bassett wrote upon the albums release, The thump and grind of Betty fully reflects the seemingly meaningless forces that shape our hi-tech existences, the inner pressure that waxes and wanes as lifes pace explodes exponentially and its occasional moments of grace. Betty is a surprising album, one which grows as it unfolds its subtleties. A prophetic statement if ever there was one.

Helmet have carved or, rather, bludgeoned a niche as primary exponents of pummeling, monolithic, heavy guitar-rock. The sheer size and power of their sound dwarfs all but the most extreme of hardcore bands, but theres a precision to Helmets sound that sets them apart. Time Off Magazine (1994 Betty album review)
