For fans of Bad Omens or Les Misérables, with riffs that’ll blow your mind—get ready for a fusion that will surprise you!
At the crossroads of French “chanson” and modern metal, HELM offers a fresh addition to the fragmented musical landscape of today. Blending the raw energy of metal with clear, poignant lyrics, HELM is a magical glue that brings together worlds as distant as those of Michel Berger and Bad Omens. The band members draw from their musical and cultural diversity to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
From straightforward 16’ rap on Hotmailcore to Barbershop influences on Mêmedemain, and powerful, socially engaged narratives like the one about the Spanish Retiradaon Pronto, each HELM track tells a story while subtly weaving in references through heavy distortion.
Designed for the stage, HELM’s live set skillfully navigates between cinematic atmospheres and more wild, intense passages. Tracks like Pronto and Mêmedemain immerse the audience in a deep, emotional atmosphere, before giving way to more primal moments where raw energy takes over. When their cover of La groupie du pianiste ends, the crowd finally grasps the essence of HELM’s music: using musical styles as tools in service of the lyrics. The enthusiastic feedback from their 2024 shows (Connexion Live, Metronum) confirms one thing: there is a true audience for this bold alchemy. Metal crowd fans sing along to the French lyrics, while lovers of French “chanson” join in their first-ever mosh pit.
