Mid-Hertfordshire trio Helgrind were formed in 2003 by Bassist/Vocalist Paul Nelson and was joined by guitarist Jon Sick and drummer Ray Johnson. The band quickly grew a reputation for delivery brutal pounding rhythms and a music diversity which was greatly appreciated in pits up and down the country.
In 2005 their debut demo “Denial” was released which helped build up a strong following in the metal underground in the UK and the US. Si Thoms was drafted in to replace the original drummer and Jim Hunt joined to strengthen the guitar sound in the autumn of 2005.
When Sick quit in 2006, Helgrind took a good listen to the music they were creating, Alex Budge replaced Thoms on the drums and work immediately started on a new album. The “Fallen Prophet” EP was recorded and produced by the much rated Dave Chang in 2007 and the band was signed to Casket Music which gave the potential for new audiences with worldwide distribution.
Helgrind have teamed up again with Dave Chang in 2008 to record the debut album “Religious Persecution” with a strong unique sound and diversity across all metal genres.
"A Helgrind show is not for the feint hearted as they cause mayhem in the pit with their no-nonsense brutal pounding speed and aggressive rhythms, so get down the front, wreck shit up and don't forget your neckbrace!!!!!"
"Helgrind sway between total aggression and more considered body shots" - Glasswerk
"With rampant riffing and whiplash solos, Helgrind are like Slayer circa Reign in Blood" - Metal Observer

Saw you in Metal Hammer and the review said you sounded similar to Slayer. But they gave you a really shit review! I don't usually take notice of what reviewers say in Metal Hammer. Not quite sure why I buy that magazine anymore. They're fucking sell outs.
Anyways, I thought I'd check you guys out whilst I was online and I like what I heard. Hammer gave you 5 out of 10. FUCK THAT! I give you 9.
Hey Guys, Thank's very much for adding. You guys keep the thrash alive. Fallen Prophet got a very good review in the Aardschok magazine (Dutch metalmagazine). So keep up the good work. Rock on!
Brutal tunes!, sounds like you're putting us to utter shame with giging n shit!, album is nearly done and we'll be getting our asses in gear a do some gig's, would be cool to do some gig's with you guy's!
We've just put a few of our new tunes on our page, inhale their stench with your ear pussey's!
