Treacherous Ways

by Helms Deep

supported by

Metal Evangelist Slinky-smooth traditional heavy metal with all the elements that make the genre fun. Favorite track: The Keep.

Lute FP Fucking killer traditional metal. Reading their bio, they referenced two members as being formerly of Raven, and that rang a bell. I checked out some Raven albums on Spotify (sadly none here), and when I hit on All For One, the memories came flooding back. I haven’t heard it in 40 years, but I know those anthemic choruses like it was yesterday. No idea why it faded into obscurity.

Man, these guys are cranking out modern speed/trad metal like they have something to prove, and it is glorious.

danzig111 it rocks. nice OVERALL SOUND texture. very METAL. VERY LISTENABLE FOR METAL MANIACS.

about

Nameless Grave Records is excited to announce the release of Helms Deep’s devastating debut album, Treacherous Ways, on CD, cassette, and a special limited vinyl pressing of 500 copies on classic black wax, with exciting diehard options for CD and vinyl formats! Helms Deep was formed by singer/songwriter/guitarist Alex Sciortino to channel his love of classic heavy metal and is rounded out by the thunderous bass playing and backup vocals of John Gallagher (Raven) as well as by the meticulous drumming and songwriting of Mike Heller (Raven, Malignancy).

Across 11 tracks of old school heavy and power metal devastation, Treacherous Ways shows Helms Deep both as the rabid adherents to the old school and as the amazing modern musicians that they are- high octave screams, ripping guitar riffs, devastating drum fills and melodic and enigmatic bass lines create something that’s as unique as it is catchy and nostalgic. With a classic painting from the legendary Michael Whelan gracing the album’s cover and organic studio production from Lasse Lammert (Sigh, Glacier, Raven), Helms Deep have brought the spirit of the old back with a vengeance on this excellent debut show of force.

Diehard sets are strictly limited to 50 copies of each format, including a CD or LP, a woven patch, and a flag measuring approximately 2.3' x 3' (70 cm by 93 cm). The diehard set is ONLY available from the label webstore or from the Helms Deep bandcamp page!
