American alternative metal pioneers HELMET will play in 2 weeks in Helsinki as a part of their Look Left tour. The concert will be at the venue Vanha Ylioppilastalo (Helsinki) on November 14th. The band was formed in 1989 by vocalist and lead guitarist Page Hamilton. HELMET has had numerous lineup changes with Hamilton as the only constant member. Since 2010, the band has consisted of Hamilton, drummer Kyle Stevenson, guitarist Dan Beeman and bassist Dave Case. HELMET has released eight studio albums and two compilation albums. The band’s upcoming ninth studio album «Left» is due for release on November 10 via earMUSIC. Many critics cite HELMET as an alternative metal band; however, the band has been categorised under many genres, including post-hardcore, noise rock, experimental metal and post-metal. HELMET is considered a major influence on the nu metal genre, with the band’s use of Drop D tuning influencing many in the genre.
