John Tempesta - Drums (formerly of White Zombie)
Frank Bello - Bass (formerly of Anthrax)

Head on over to the band's official site for updates, or to listen to songs off of their best of CD.

HELL YEAH!!!

I'd been wondering what became of them!

(Can you tell I'm excited?!)

I just started a Helmet thread this morning.....wondering if Paige has scrapped all the "Gahndi" material.......

nice! Something to look forward to. Universal though, thats kinda weird. What label were they on before?

oh I jus blew a load


In hope a Helmet tour is on the way

BOOYAH!!! this is gonna crush everything

I had heard about this! It's only 2 original members, but it ought to be good!

page pretty much wrote everything anyways so its all good....

HELMET FOREVER!!

Page might be the only original member, but the other musicians he has involved more than make up for it

Let's just hope it'll get some airplay, because you know it's going to own anything that's out there now.

Fuckin' right...

Best news I've heard in years.

Im kinda bummed John Stanier isn't playing drums, although the work he is doing with battles is mind blowing.

Whoa!! Amazing!

I think they were on Atlantic before... something like that.

I shall just add - cool.

Holy crap, this is good news.

Here is the "tentative" track listing -

01 - "Smart"
02 - "Crashing Foreign Cars"
03 - "See You Dead"
04 - "Drug Lord"
05 - "Enemies"
06 - "Unwound"
07 - "Everybody Loves You"
08 - "Surgery"
09 - "Speak And Spell"
10 - "Throwing Punches"
11 - "Last Breath"
12 - "Out Of Nowhere"



I remember reading an interview a while back with Paige, he said that pretty much no label would touch his band unless it was called "Helmet" So, maybe some of these songs will be the "Ghandi" songs....

they were on Interscope which is now owned by Universal Music Group

Betty was a GREAT album, I wish I had not lost my copy of it.

My thoughts exactly. I just about creamed my pants when I read this ( thanks Kris7 ), but no John? I'll hold my opinion until it comes out.

this song is on the underworld soundtrack...its a fucking killer song too..unfortunately this and the dilliner escape plan song are the only reasons to buy that steaming pile

Not true! The Bowie remix with added vocals by Maynard is pretty sweet...
