Size Matters
SIZE MATTERS is the first collection of new HELMET music in seven years. The album's title refers to "An obsession in {American} culture with higher, louder, bigger & faster. There are no rewards {or regard} for integrity & progressive thought anymore." PAGE HAMILTON, singer, guitarist, & founder, has reactivated the HELMET name with a lineup including guitarist CHRIS TRAYNOR (Orange 9mm, Bush, Helmet), drummer JOHN TEMPESTA (Rob Zombie, Testament), & bassist FRANK BELLO (Anthrax). Recorded earlier this year & produced by HAMILTON with assistance from producer Jay Baumgardner & former Nine Inch Nails associate Charlie Clouser, SIZE MATTERS isn't necessarily a return to form. Rather, it's an expansion of the vocabulary that HAMILTON has built his reputation upon (minimalist crushing riffs, taut rhythmic propulsion, clusterbomb solos & seething lyrical invective) coexisting with a greater melodic sense.
