Album “Seeing Eye Dog” out now 

Helmet are pleased to announce a European ‘Meantime’ 20th Anniversary tour in March/April 2012. The band will be playing their iconic 1992 ‘Meantime’ album in full, plus a host of other Helmet classics, as well as songs from their latest album, ‘Seeing Eye Dog.’

Billed as the “thinking man’s metal band,” Helmet provided an alternative to the grunge bands coming out of the US at the time with their clean cut aesthetic and raw, unrelenting, propulsive sound. ‘Meantime’ gave the band their first taste of mainstream success - debuting at 68 on the Billboards Top 200.  Singles “Unsung” and “In The Meantime” went on to become hard rock radio classics and paved the way for many other alt rock bands to come. The album sold 2 million copies worldwide and remains a rock music staple. 

Last year Helmet returned with their critically acclaimed 7th studio album ‘Seeing Eye Dog’ The album’s 10 tracks include the title cut, “Welcome To Algiers,” White City,” the mostly instrumental “Morphing” and a cover of the Beatles’ “And Your Bird Can Sing.”
