Helmet have released a lyric video for their track Bad News.
It’s taken from the band’s upcoming eighth album Dead To The World, due for release on October 28 via earMUSIC. The follow-up to 2010’s Seeing Eye Dog is Helmet’s first album in six years.
Announcing the album recently, vocalist and guitarist Page Hamilton said: “Catch phrases, punchlines, guns, bluster, ammo, incivility, impatience, murder. You, me, us, them, life, liberty and the pursuit of property.
“We disagree, we disrespect, discourse disappears in the age of access. When in doubt, get loud! It’s my way or the highway.”
Dead To The World was produced by Hamilton and mixed by Jay Baumgardner. The album will be available on CD, digipak, digital and transparent vinyl, with pre-order to be announced in due course.
Helmet will be joined on the road by special guests Local H, with dates starting at the Castle Theatre, Bloomington, on November 3.
