| Biography |
Helgrinds aim is
to be one of the most distinctive, influential and
extreme UK thrash metal bands. Their graphic lyrics deal
with everything from death and dismemberment to the
horrors of life and hell. Helgrind deliver full-throttle
rhythms with an aggression reminiscent of the early days
of their biggest influence Slayer. A Helgrind show is
not for the feint hearted as they cause mayhem in the
pit with their no-nonsense brutal pounding speed.
Helgrind was formed in December 2003 by bass/vocalist
Paul Nelson and the aptly named guitarist Jon Sick
originally as three-piece, they set to work on material
for their debut recording.
In November 2004, Helgrind recorded their first full
album Denial, an album that crosses between Thrash,
Death and Black Metal with a diverse melodic undertow,
vengeful, hate filled lyrics that are both thought
provoking and disturbing and released the album in
January 2005.
A quick drummer change which brought a more brutal edge
to the band and the addition of guitarist Jim Hunt in
the autumn of 2005 added an extra edge to the music,
which the band felt, was missing as a 3 piece.
In the summer of 2006, Simon Ellis replaced Jon Sick and
Sy Thoms was replaced by Alex Budge, giving the band a
new exciting feel and more powerful edge.
Jim Hunt and Paul Nelson worked on a new recording
called "Religious Persecution", from which four tracks
were chosen to be on the "Fallen Prophet" EP.
Fallen Prophet is the second studio recording for the
band, it is the follow up to "Denial" and is a more
aggressive offering than the previous release. Fallen
Prophet shows a maturity in composition and an intensity
never heard before from the band. The album "Religious
Persecution" is due to be recorded early 2008 |
