Helm

Massive Attack vs. Pet Shop Boys

About Me

What is known as Helm is in fact a rather complex outcome of circumstances - The result of a decade of cultural chaos. Most of the individuals involved met somewhere along the road when discovering the fact that normal band structures are rather destructive. They melted together into this project in order to produce music in a very effective and positive way. All the active members share the hunger for exploring and re-exploring things and not to exclude anything. When listening to Helm you'll be able to trace rather opposite genres in the mix. There is always a red line throughout the sound though.
