Check Out the New Helms Alee Track "Pleasure Center"

Prepare To Be Jealous Of Superior Guitar Tone

Ben Verellen manufactures gear under the family name, so you know that he best make sure his own tone is the sickest. Those heads, with names like "Meat Smoke" and "Skyhammer", come with him on the road and into the studio, bringing beefy tone to Helms Alee and Harkonen when he's away from the soldering iron.

Verellen's guitar tone is on point on the new Helms Alee track "Pleasure Center" streaming for the first time below. Melodic and thundering in the Torche-iest of ways, Helms Alee's doom-y riffs, post-hardcore and metal is the latest addition to the Sargent House roster which includes names like Russian Circles, Chelsea Wolfe and others. Look out for HA's new LP Sleepwalking Sailors via the label on 2/11.
