there's a reason why you haven't heard them in mad yonks.
I would love to see Helmet live again
I saw Helmet live last year and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the show. They're still great live even though I can't get into the "Page Hamilton + Studio Guys" Helmet albums. John Stainer was always my favorite aspect of Helmet.
I may get this 7" anyway though because Dr Mule rules!
Personally, I really liked Henry on the Bass. He was always such a great guy.... Back in the 90's I played Bass in a band and our Drummer was Helmets drum tech for their "Meantime" tour. Once we made it to New York, Henry let us stay at his apartment no questions asked. A really cool guy who had an amazing collection of steel guitars. It really made sense to me when, years later, I saw that he guest stared on Ramblin man and Okie on the Melvins Crybaby LP.
Black vinyl looks so fucking strange on an AmRep release!

Cover art reminds me of the American Australian war from a few years back.
QuoteThe war is first mentioned on Lazlow's radio show Chatterbox FM in Grand Theft Auto III when a veteran of the war, Col. James P., calls in to talk about how no one cares about the Australian-American War. Lazlow then goes on to mention that he's never heard of it. The vet talks about how the Australians equipped boomerangs and kangaroos with explosives.
the knife is backwards

I like the slow pan effect on the album cover as it goes.

Ugh , I hope they hold off on the clowns for a bit . I can't afford anything right now : (
And my knee pads have gone and worn out ....
haze commented that it will be the clowns too. so i expect 3 clowns and the helmet split. ...and maybe some leftover stuff from d-dorf. very nice!
SD splits hopefully come to an end sometime...
a few of the regulars have a thanos insert :lol: :lol:

:lol: It's great being part of the e-stampede!
I think I am most stoked about this record of the ones released today .
Slept through another release. I need to hire someone.
Are the variants ( plus the clown variants) only going to be sold on the Australia tour???

I don't think so. Australia is like Canada .... as in they tax a crap ton on the merch bands bring in.
I expect a lot of 'leftovers' to go up online after the tour.
The star'd and numbered Haze edition will go on sale at the NYE party.
Thanks Judy!
You betchya ;)
Good luck!
This is monnumental! agonizing that Im so far behind my melvins collection right now.
Got my Melvins's in the mail today.
up first is the Helmet side: Almost instantly transported back to the 90's. Its like a drug, but the high only lasted like 2 seconds, so I chased the dragon by slowing the pitch control down about 2 or 4%. It didn't so much "work". Solid track, sweet recording/production/duplication values but overall underwhelming first listen. Later returning for a 2nd and 3rd spin at regular speed (45) and now the tweeds are kicking in real good and this song is sounding great since I put on my super dope cover hat head-warmer thingy. Full-on windmills and headbanging from the waist up. This track is on fire! Yep. It holds up at 33rpm too. even 33 minus 10% and back to [45] 45 is the speed revolutions. VIVA REVOLUTIONS!
Melvins side: Cool synth shits? maybe some Sir David Scott Stone in the mix??? Electro80's Yes style freak-jam with hand-clap ha! Melvins.
Glazed over the Clowns just once until,
Victoria: B-side on the Kinks 7" got INSTANT replays, not twice but THRICE! Got me power struttin' up and down my spot. Now its getting played at 33. Now 33 minus 20% pitch control. Now again.... The Melvins is Jams. Play it again, slower, make it last. my melvins spot is wet again. thanks for playing.

Ha !
I used to play eggnog at both speeds , as well as my old napalm death 45's.
I had some old metallica 12's for jump in the fire and Harvester of sorrow,
they sounded like Eyehategod when played at 33 ( though I have no idea if eyehategod existed back then , prolly not) . I listened to them mostly like that . Ah the things you do about twenty years ago.....
Helmet are releasing their first live album of old shows and Toshi did some mixing on the album:
QuoteSomeone did manage to run a 2" 24-track tape machine during our set at the Melbourne Big Day Out; thanks are due to those folks. We've had these tapes collecting dust in the band locker (New Jersey pre-2001, North Hollywood since) for all these years so we enlisted our talented pal Toshi Kasai to mix some of the set and Golden Mastering to polish things up."

Blabbermouth is still going?
Used to read that site to get my Pantera updates :lol:
That article is a good read (if you're a Helmet fan). Which I am!
First helmet release I've been excited about for quite some time!
For two decades I thought Helmet was German for no apparent reason.

I think that's Helmut, best known for their 1994 album Bitte.
