about

Helve is a 5 piece Post-Metal/Doom band based in Leeds UK.
Helve's 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, 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 and 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.

Reviews:
"To Be Forgotten is four tracks of dense and often dirty post metal that gnaws at your flesh while at the same time comforting you through its spirited and soul-stirring breakdowns. It's harsh and its melancholic and it’s bloody brilliant".
- Pat (Smashing Skulls Sessions - Album review).https://smashingskullsessions.fireside.fm/articles/tobeforgotten

"It eases in, with smooth and sorrowful tones, gradually adding layers. Even without a lot of sonority, you can feel the pain deep inside"
"This is more than just a Doom or even Post-Metal album. They take you on a roller coaster ride through all of your fears, insecurities, and even self-loathing".
- Metal Temple review (8/10).

"We have been lucky enough to hear the whole album and we were flabbergasted with the record's style".
"This track shows us a band with impeccable skills when it comes to writing and playing Post-Metal".
- Knut (Veil of Sound review/premiere of 'Guns Heal The Sick').

"To Be Forgotten" not only marks their first full-length effort but encapsulates the depth and dynamics of a band that has learned to navigate its emotional and musical terrains with remarkable honesty and skill".
- idioteq.com 'new music' feature.

"To Be Forgotten" is an exciting, bold, brash and quite frankly an outstanding slice of Doom/Post-Metal that allows Helve to be considered another thrilling addition to the Doom/Post-Metal/Sludge Metal scene".
- Outlaws of the Sun.

"Helve gave this album something that I had not heard a ton of...life. it is clear this album has had thought put into it, the sounds made were exact even if they were harsh and raw. Strong 7/10".
- Musipedia of Metal.

"Evocative in all the right places and relentless everywhere you look, whatever goal Helve had when they put down the first note that would become this album was achieved in a stupendous fashion".
- Head-banger reviews.
