Helmet

Helmet is an American alternative metal band from New York City, New York. Formed in 1989, the group originally featured guitarist and vocalist Page Hamilton, guitarist Peter Mengede, bassist Henry Bogdan and drummer John Stanier. The group released its debut album Strap It On in 1990, followed by Meantime in 1992 on Interscope Records. Due to increased tensions with frontman Hamilton, Mengede was fired from the band on February 17, 1993. After his dismissal, the guitarist went on to form the supergroup Handsome. Rob Echeverria was enlisted to perform on the 1994 album Betty, although he also left the band in 1996 to join Biohazard. Helmet recorded Aftertaste as a three-piece, with Hamilton performing all guitars. After touring with former Orange 9mm guitarist Chris Traynor, the band broke up in 1998.
