Straight out of Denver, Colorado comes this 3-man Brutal Slamming Death merchant, HELSE. Pronounced "Hell-Say", they released this self-titled EP independently on February 16th, 2024.
5 songs, none over 2 minutes. This EP clocks in at 8 minutes of pretty great sounding slam.
Nothing crazy here as far as instrumentation or writing, but it absolutely delivers in the slam department. Raw, grimy guitar grooves pairing nicely with simple drums and decent production. These disgusting vocals are the icing on the cake! Another up-and-coming band with it's members all under 20 years old! This is crazy to me and I can't wait to watch how they evolve!
If this is a basic blueprint for the beginning of the Helse sound, I am loving it. With a little growth and further production, this is giving me old Short Bus Pile Up meets Cerebral Incubation vibes.
This Ep also has 3 guest vocalists, which is nuts for an 8 minute release. Still, somehow it all comes together to form a rather well made Slam release for fans of the old raw Slam style. Check em' out!
