I don't spend a lot of time in the entertainment forum, but... Helmet is releasing their first album in years on October 5th. Their style has evolved quite a bit from the early '90's and the small club days of their first major release Strap It On , but it is still easy to identify a song written by Page Hamilton.

Although Hamilton is by most accounts a pretty arrogant prick, he is responsible for a lot of the sounds that todays heavier bands use. His sycophants may be mistaken that he "invented" drop D tuning, but he did bring it to the forefront and start a lot of bands down a different path.

So are there any other Helmet fans in the cellar? or are the cellarites asking, "who the hell is helmet?" Did any of you catch Hamilton's other project Ghandi ?
