Bio
Experimental rock, venomous noise music, progressive baroque hardcore, putting a label on this unusual band is no easy task. A crossroads that brings together diametrically opposed worlds and bridges the gap between extremes, led by a female voice at a cross between incantation and lyricism, Helium Horse Fly offers a musical journey that oscillates between tense breathing spells and cathartic violence. Helium Horse Fly was born in March 2009 in Liège, Belgium, and is the fruit of singer Marie Billy, guitarist Stéphane Dupont, bass player Dimitri Iannello and drummer Tom Malmendier's encounter. Back in spring 2010, the band gave its first concerts and recorded its first EP, A dispute to redefine clearly frontiers between devils and angels, an early digital release of which came out on April 19th, 2010, followed by a physical release on October 31st, 2010. This release was acclaimed by the press, and the track Lights won the PureDemo competition organized by the Belgian radio PureFM. Its successor, the EP Fishing for Ghosts, was released on December 14th, 2011 and met with the same reception. Early 2012, Bastien Dupont took over from Tom Malmendier and became the band's new drummer. Helium Horse Fly has performed in Belgium and France (Paris, Brussels, Liège, Lille, Besançon,…) and has done the opening act for bands such as Black Math Horseman, Overmars, Binaire, Aside From A Day, Generic, Lilly Wood & The Prick, ... Currently out on the road, the band is also working on an album, the release date of which is scheduled for autumn 2013. -

We are finally able to reveal the details on our next record!
It will be our first full-length album and it will be self-titled.
The record will feature 7 songs for a total length of 50+ minutes. And while we still have not decided how we are going to arrange the tracklist, here are the titles of the songs: Adrift / Breaches / Firelink Shrine / Lamento of a Dinosaur / Surgery Plains / The Fifth Season / Titanium Tea.
The record will be released on October 25, 2013 on Dipole Experiment Records, a label we set up for the occasion.
We will be recording it in August 2013 in Switzerland with Xavier Dromard @ Blend Studio. It will be mastered by Alan Douches @ West West Side Music in early September.
You'll find here the cover art, cover art based on a photography by Alexandre Parrot.

No gigs planned for now, but we're hard at work on our next record, which will be the first full-length one! The writing is like 2/3 done, and we're really thrilled about its emerging shape. More info on this upcoming record and on future shows as soon as we get them.
In the meantime, 10€ for our two available records, isn't it a cheap and nice christmas present? :-)

We'd also like to take that news opportunity to thank Tom Malmendier for two and a half years of a great musical and human adventure. Thank you Tom!
