On November 22nd, 2008, Gold Coast progressive/post-rock pigs ‘HELM’, burst onto the scene with their stunning debut, Vol 1...‘Keelhaul’, to rave reviews across the nation and around the globe. Four years on, their third opus looks set to take position as one of the premier Australian releases of 2013. Vol III...‘Panthalassa’ is world-class, Australian Heavy. It screams apocalypse, and is backed by a complex collection of timeless riffs, sublime hooks and a seemingly relentless attack of spine-snapping sludge. Challenging, dark and intelligent. HELM’s third opus genuinely encompasses that ‘something special’ needed to place this uniquely Australian act directly alongside its International counterparts. For fans of: Mastodon, Thrice, The Ocean, Intronaut, Cult of Luna, Deftones
