Helenium Wake

Claire Heller, a veteran of the New Orleans music scene uses her Sultry vocal stylings to bring to life the hard rocking leanings of Helenium Wake. Guitarists Chris Roshto & Mike Barue have been active in the local rock scene since the late 80’s with such bands as Spectre, Horizon, and Gravity Sheep People. Bassist Rocky Smith was a member of Gravity Sheep people with Chris & Mike and played in bands dating back to Jack Frost in the mid-80’s with drummer Reid Cumberland. Reid "C-Speed" Cumberland having played in previous bands with both Rock Smith & Mike Barue holds down the charging beats with his double bass flamboyance & rock solid performances. Keeping the tradition, alive they churn out a riff heavy brand of Heavy Metal / Hard Rock / Southern Rock repleat with searing guitar and pounding rhythms, in the sonic identity you will come to know as Helenium Wake!
