BIO

Helve is a 5 piece Post-Metal/Doom band based in Leeds, UK. Helve incorporate the heavier elements of Sludge/Doom genres mixed with more ambient/soundscape sections akin to the Post- Metal bands such as Rosetta, Cult of Luna, and ISIS.

Helve self-released their debut EP ‘Faint Hope’ in 2015, and have since been perfecting their craft with live shows across the UK, supporting bands like Blanket, Hundred Year Old Man, Conjurer, and Torpor among others. Their first full length album 'To Be Forgotten', has been a labour of love to try and encapsulate the live sound that they feel they have honed over the years. There is a strong emotional feel to the lyric content, drawing on personal experiences accompanied by carefully constructed music that rises and falls to create a journey.

PRESS

"It’s harsh and it’s melancholic and it’s bloody brilliant. The range of emotions that Helve pendulate through on each of these tracks is what makes this album huge. It’s a roller coaster of raw emotion and unconstrained sentiments. Helve have truly found their sound."

The Smashing Skull Sessions

""To Be Forgotten" is an exciting, bold, brash and quite frankly an outstanding slice of Doom/Post-Metal"

Outlaws Of The Sun

"Sublime. Progressive Sludge Metal riffs to be worshipped."

Metal Noise

""To Be Forgotten" encapsulates the depth and dynamics of a band that has learned to navigate its emotional and musical terrains with remarkable honesty and skill."

"Helve really delved into their sound, drawing it out and savouring it in ways that you’d expect from Amenra, but with their own signature style. Truly a blending of all the best parts of post-rock and post- metal, and a delight for fans of both genres. Keep your eyes on Helve, they’ll be supporting bigger names in the coming years"
