Sludge rock band Helms Alee have released a new track from their upcoming album Stillicide. Dubbed “Galloping Mind Fuk”, the song is a sub-3 minute blast of intense musicality that the band is known for. There’s also a fucking SICK syncopated lyrical presentation from band members Dana James and Hozoji Margullis, the latter of whom we interviewed recently.
I’ve made my love of the band known ever since I was turned onto their 2014 album Sleepwalking Sailors, which is still one of the best albums I’ve heard this decade. The band’s blend of intensely thick and aggressive distortion with some stunning technicality and melody makes them truly stand out amongst their peers. I’m extremely eager for their new album!
Check out the new track below, courtesy of MetalInjection.net. Oh, and to keep you entertained, I’ve also included the two other tracks from Stillicide that have been released. Enjoy!
