Helmet have revealed that their first album in six years will be released next month.

The band have signed a deal with earMUSIC for Dead To The World, which will launch on October 28. And along with announcing the follow-up to 2010’s Seeing Eye Dog, Helmet will also head out on a North American tour throughout November and December.

Vocalist and guitarist Page Hamilton says: “Catch phrases, punchlines, guns, bluster, ammo, incivility, impatience, murder. You, me, us, them, life, liberty and the pursuit of property.

“We disagree, we disrespect, discourse disappears in the age of access. When in doubt get loud! It’s my way or the highway.”

Dead To The World was produced by Hamilton and mixed by Jay Baumgardner. The album will be available on CD, digipak, digital and transparent vinyl, with pre-order to be announced in due course.

Helmet will be joined on the road by special guests Local H, with dates starting at the Castle Theatre, Bloomington, on November 3.
