Helmet

What Helmet has in common with Nine Inch Nails is that the group is essentially the band leader. Page Hamilton is the only remaining original band member and apparently the driving force behind the entire idea. Considering the strong influence of Helmet on prog rock (whatever that means), it is a must to see them.

How cool is this? All band members signed my ticket!!! :-)

Buddies: Harald and his mate Christian, Jochen and brothers were there as well

Score: 4 out of 5 stars

Another gig? Yes, with new songs.

Szene Wien is a perfect location for such type of gig. Decent sound joins a close athmosphere. Frankly I do not remember the name of the support act, but I remember them to be a very dedicated trio featuring a female bass player (right?).

The crowd joins Helmet from the very first song. The band plays a flawless gig, which tends to become stronger and harder at the end. Of course 'Unsung' is a highlight, its riffs have the same power like back in '91. Although Page Hamilton could be (visually) the father of some of his band mates, he is by no means less energetic. Special kudos for his ability to provide strong vocals and very relaxed guitar playing.
