Helmet

Some bands are incapable of creating an original sound that defines the group and solidifies its role in the progression of recorded music. Other bands arrive at grandeur almost inadvertently; one such group is the New York alternative metal outfit Helmet. The band was formed in 1989 and has experienced a number of ups and downs during its tumultuous existence as a band. Despite breaking up in 1998, the band got back together in 2004 and has since dedicated itself to a respectable touring and recording schedule.
