OR:

''Left'' is the ninth studio album by the American alternative metal band Helmet, released on November 10, 2023, through earMUSIC. It is the band's first studio album in seven years, since '' Dead to the World'' (2016), the longest gap between albums to date.


Reception

'' Metal Hammer''s Stephen Hill wrote "Helmet are still capable of harnessing all the elements that made them such a brilliantly idiosyncratic band three decades ago. ''Left'' contains some of the year's most instantaneous, memorable, propulsive yet deceptively complex riffs that serve as a base for everything from wild noise freakouts to some truly unexpected vocal hooks." ''Distorted Sound'' writer Gavin Brown wrote that, "With their line-up stable for over a decade, and their ever-present vocalist/guitarist Page Hamilton sounding as good as ever, the band still have those riffs ever present on ''Left'' and the grooves are just as irresistible today as they have been all through the band's history."


Track listing

All songs are written by Page Hamilton and Kyle Stevenson, except where noted.
