It’s a big week for Helms Alee. Not only are they in the midst of a US tour with (the) Melvins, their new album Stillicide officially gets released tomorrow. Guess what? You can stream it in full.
Stillicide is the band’s fourth studio record. It was tracked and produced by Converge’s Kurt Ballou at his God City Studios — and it features 11 songs that blend heavy riffs, dark guitar pop and math rock into one.
After they finish up with the Melvins, they’ll be heading out with Russian Circles for a bunch of dates on the Eastern side of the US.
Stillicide comes out September 2nd (this Friday) through Sargent House.
