..."the boys have definitely upped the ante and are now bringing a quite varied albumwith several calmer moments enabling the listener to letting go of some of the steamgathered from listenging to the speedy Thrash anthems in between!"
Dead Earnest
..."this is one thunderously fine album. For a start, it's not all rifle-fire drums,and speed-of-light delivery. The vocals are sung, albeit with a voice that sounds seriouslydark and dense, but it's powerful as hell and you can hear the lyrics throughout. Meanwhile,the arrangements whip between thrash, power metal and traditional Classic Rock. The bandwill set up a rampaging juggernaut of a song then, and not always, but often enough tomatter, take it down an avenue you hadn't expected, and the times that they don't do thisbut just come up with a pure lightspeed nuclear slice of thrash, makes the rest of it soundeven stronger."
From the Dust Returned
..."For their second effort, UK squadron Helgrind have unleashed a beast of thrashingproportions, which truly captures the spirit and energy of its forebears without any retrobullshit whatsoever. This is how thrash needs to persist in order to survive. True to theroots, but serious minded and worth paying attention to.
Glasswerk
..."Helgrind sway between total aggression and more considered bodyshots"
Metal Observer
…"With rampant riffing and whiplash solos, Helgrind are like Slayer circa Reign in Blood"

..."A Helgrind show is not for the feint hearted as they cause mayhem in the pit withtheir no-nonsense brutal pounding speed and aggressive rhythms, so get down the front, wreckshit up and don't forget your neckbrace!!!!!"
Mid-Hertfordshire thrash metal band were formed in the late part of 2000, with the simplegoal to deliver fast, brutal, aggressive music to a thrash starved underground scene.
In the early days the band listened mainly to Sepultura, Slayer, Overkill, Testament andExodus though their early music showed that there was more to the band than copying theirfavourite artist’s styles. In the later days as new members came along each brought theirindividual style to the band including influences such as Pantera, In Flames, Machine Headand Arch Enemy.
With a well rehearsed set and hundreds of shows under their belt, where support slots with“Return to the Sabbat”, “ColdBlooded”, “Vae Solis”, “Gore”,“The Enchanted”, Casket Music bands “Landmine Spring” and “Age of Ruin”and a UK tour with “W.A.K.O” were the highlight. Helgrind deliver a fast, aggressivesound and have started causing mayhem in the pit with their no-nonsense brutal poundingspeed and included “Dungeon Fest IV”, “Day of Despair 1” along the way.
Helgrind appeals to all metal music fans, their music crosses between Thrash, Death andBlack Metal with diverse melodic undertows and an aggressive vocal sound that carry theethos of the band to higher statures and charge the band with the determination andbrutality that was true in Helgrind from the beginning.
The band has appeared on Terrorizer cover mounts five times in the last four years and onvarious metal radio stations worldwide.

The album “Religious Persecution“ has thirteen new songs allwritten after reading reviews from previous releases and listening to the fan base, the bandtruly feel they have found the true Helgrind sound and have something they can use as atemplate for future releases.
"Religious Persecution" is about the amount of hatred that the human racesuffers through their beliefs. How we are ethically told not to harm one another, yet findit so easy to go against our system of belief to kill in gods name.
All the songs on "Religious Persecution" have a meaning prejudice or personalsacrifice for something you believe in and the persecution won't end until all the lies havebeen heard and shown for what they are.
