Ask me about some of my favorite albums of the 90s and you'll surely get a Helmet record in there. Henry Bogdan, John Stanier (who went to Tomahawk and then Battles), and even Chris Traynor are long gone now, and a new version of the band (with Page Hamilton alongside a trio of new members) will release a seventh LP Seeing Eye Dog. That LP is due in late August, and Helmet will hit the road shortly after for a string of dates that will include Gramercy Theatre in NYC on October 23rd. Tickets go on sale at noon on Wed (7/21).
Seeing Eye Dog is currently up for presale via the band in various forms (CD, vinyl, with a tee, with a laminate, etc etc). Stream a few new songs from the record at the Helmet site.

What's up with Gramercy Theatre? Seems like it's the venue of choice for "come back" or flash back bands. Is that purposeful? Or is it a second tier booker?
Helmet is a great flash back if there ever was one.

is it really helmet without stanier? nope, it's not. it's gandhi.
Posted by Anonymous | July 21, 2010 9:05 AM
9:05 is right. Helmet died when Stanier left.
Posted by Anonymous | July 21, 2010 9:12 AM
i will have to agree.
an old friend is their touring bassist now, though.

Posted by Anonymous | July 21, 2010 10:08 AM

Helmet was great. This isn't Helmet though.
They should open for Matt & Kim.

I was excited to see this listing but something about the tunes isn't gelling with me. Maybe I just like the vocals burried in the mix like the old records.

I saw Helmet with Ministry and Sepultura in 92 or 93. Now THAT shit was amazing.
I saw Helmet again a few years back, once at Bowery and again at Irving Plaza. I have to say, even though it isn't the same without the other members, it was still a good way to spend an evening.

(someone had to say it.)

How can a band with only 1 original member still call itself Helmet? It's the Page Hamilton Band now.
@ 10:37 - Helmet/Sepultura/Ministry WAS amazing. I got thrown out buy like 6 security guards for going ape shit during Ministry. It was fucking awesome!

HOW CAN HELMET NOT PLAY MINNEAPOLIS??????
Posted by DeadDoug | July 21, 2010 11:05 AM
I'd rather listen to Strap It On and maybe Meantime at home. There's no compelling reason for me to attend this show.
Posted by Regular reader | July 21, 2010 12:15 PM
As much as I love their back catalogue, I can't pony up almost $30 to see what is essentially a Helmet cover band.

IN THE FUCKING MEANTIME!

I saw Helmet last year at the Double Door in Chicago with this lineup (I Think), and they F'n smoked. Old lineup, new lineup, I've seen both. At the end of the day the songs are great and Paige is one of the most criminally underrated guitarists.. for ever. I'll be back in Chicago
Posted by Krylon | July 21, 2010 3:04 PM
10:37 I saw that tour too. Amazing.

@ 10:37 - Sepultura with MAX! too. That show was badass. I remember when Sepultura came out and Max screamed "Destroyyyyy this fucking place!!!!!!"

LP 4 from Helmet was awful. LPs 5 & 6 were laughably horrendous. Something tells me LP 7 will be even shittier. I heard they sound great playing the old stuff live, but who cares? It's worth it for kids who never saw 'em back in the day, but for an oldster like me it's a no go show.
