Helms Alee Tickets

Helms Alee formed in 2007 in Seattle, bringing together Dana James (bass, vocals), Hozoji Matheson-Margullis (drums, vocals), and Ben Verellen (guitar, vocals). Known for their loud-quiet-loud dynamics and intricate three-part vocal harmonies, they’ve carved out a distinctive space in sludge metal, noise rock, and post-hardcore. Over the years, they’ve released six studio albums, built a devoted fanbase, and continued to tour extensively across the US and Europe.

In 2013, Helms Alee signed with Sargent House, following the fan-driven success of Sleepwalking Sailors, which was crowd-funded before its release. Their ongoing relationship with Sargent House has helped them reach broader audiences while maintaining an independent, artist-first approach.

For fans and newcomers alike, Helms Alee’s live shows are a showcase of their tight musicianship, dynamic energy, and harmonies that weave through heavy riffs and melodic interludes. Their 2025 touring includes US West Coast dates with Young Widows and a Europe leg (UK/Ireland) with Torche, with full details available on helmsalee.net.

The band’s evolution emphasizes bold textures, heavy riffs, and inventive harmonies that defy simple genre labeling.
