Seattle, United States (2007 – present)

Helms Alee is a Seattle three-piece formed in 2007 by Ben Verellen (Harkonen, Roy, These Arms Are Snakes) and is completed by Dana James and Hozoji Margullis.

The band combines heavy rock with melodic arrangements and seems to have an ear for excellent composing. All members of the band exchange lead vocals duties and occasionally teams up for harmonies.

After having released their self-titled and one-sided debut LP on small labels, their full-length debut Night Terror was released on HydraHead in August 2008.

I think I like "Night Terror" a fucking lot. The last time I had a similar feeling of finding something innovative and ehmm... real was when I was listening to Zozobra's "Tremors". Helms alee sailors!

Thought this was some Robotic Empire dregs at first but patience does them well.

this band played the best live show I've seen in quite some time. Totally blew Russian Circles away at the Doug Fir.

good stuff, though the 'Night Terror' packaging (note: not art, but the way the digipak is set up) is kind of fail. I accidentally tore it (just a little) trying to get the booklet out. They are also much better live than on the album. I would go see them again.

If anyone has Lionize/Truly, I would appreciate it greatly if you sent it to me. I can't find it anywhere, thanks!

I love the short fat chick, she is like the most un-metal guitarist I have ever seen in a metal band

When these guys opened for Isis on the 23rd I had no idea what to expect, but these guys are way legit. Their drummer is awesome!

Hadn't heard of them before I saw them open for Isis last night, but I was thoroughly impressed.
