Mid-Hertfordshire thrash metal band were formed in the late part of 2000, with the simple
goal to deliver fast, brutal, aggressive music to a thrash starved underground scene.
In the early days the band listened mainly to Sepultura, Slayer, Overkill, Testament and
Exodus though their early music showed that there was more to the band than copying their
favourite artist’s styles. In the later days as new members came along each brought their
individual style to the band including influences such as Pantera, In Flames, Machine Head
and Arch Enemy.
With a well rehearsed set and hundreds of shows under their belt, where support slots with
“Return to the Sabbat”, “Vae Solis”, “Gore”,
“The Enchanted”, Casket Music bands “Landmine Spring” and “Age of Ruin”
and a UK tour with “W.A.K.O” were the highlight. Helgrind deliver a fast, aggressive
sound and have started causing mayhem in the pit with their no-nonsense brutal pounding
speed and included “Dungeon Fest IV”, “Day of Despair 1” along the way.
Helgrind appeals to all metal music fans, their music crosses between Thrash, Death and
Black Metal with diverse melodic undertows and an aggressive vocal sound that carry the
ethos of the band to higher statures and charge the band with the determination and
brutality that was true in Helgrind from the beginning.
2008 sees the release of a second full album from Helgrind after teaming up once again with
Dave Chang. The album “Religious Persecution“ has thirteen new songs all
written after reading reviews from previous releases and listening to the fan base, the band
truly feel they have found the true Helgrind sound and have something they can use as a
template for future releases.
"Religious Persecution" is about the amount of hatred that the human race
suffers through their beliefs. How we are ethically told not to harm one another, yet find
it so easy to go against our system of belief to kill in gods name.
All the songs on "Religious Persecution" have a meaning prejudice or personal
sacrifice for something you believe in and the persecution won't end until all the lies have
been heard and shown for what they are.
Hey! Greetings from the North East of England and thanks for the add! You some excellent sounds on ya player and I hope you do not mind me saying –love the Slayer influence!! I have been into music all my life from the Stones, Floyd and Hendrix in the 60s to Hard Rock & METAL from the 70s onwards, with Sabbath, Guns, Maiden, AC/DC, Motorhead, WASP and now with Slayer, Airbourne, Testament and Lamb of God. Today I support my son’s Thrash/Metal band on www.myspace.com/FALLEN FATE1 and it’s great for me to see him fly the METAL flag!!! Majority of metal Up North is played by bloody cover bands, so the guys have had to travel to Newcastle, York, Birmingham and Glasgow to get a decent gig! Have a great weekend, cheers and Stay METAL – Alan from the North of England!
