Helforstout
Silence has broken in Iowa as five piece rock band Helforstout are making their mark with their debut album!
Influences from classic rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath mixed with modern influences such as Black Stone Cherry and Foo Fighters can be heard clearly in this rock fuelled debut album.
An eclectic selection of songs from the hard-hitting rockers definitely settles well with the listener, particularly songs such as So Tell Me that was very flowing and gave off the vibe that you can most certainly relax to, this than smoothly transforms to the upbeat rock song My Getaway that I find myself dancing to. The mixture of influences and genres of rock very well on this album; driving guitar riffs, powerful vocals and great melodies create the whole rock and roll package for this band.
My personal favourite track on the album is Jeep Ride. It contains the key ingredients for the perfect rock song; catchy riff, incredible vocal work and a melody that I won't forget for a long time.
Overall a great debut album from Helforstout, this album will definitely be a hit this summer. If you like hard hitting vocals, slick guitar riffs and great original rock tunes than this is the album for you.
Stand out tracks: Jeep Ride, Getaway and Wharf
For fans of: Soundgarden and Black Sabbath
