The 1981 Listening Post - Helix - White Lace & Black Leather

Helix - White Lace & Black Leather 



#66X

1981 Housekeeping

Helix

White Lace & Black Leather

Genre: Canadian Priest

3.25 out of 5



Highlights:

Long Distance Heartbreak



Someone really really really wants to be Judas Priest. But without the edge or the songs, it just comes across as “Dammit, they were there first and we’ll never be as great.”


I’m being relatively harsh on Helix. The songs are perfectly fine for the early opener to the masters. They are one of those wannametal groups that you know fit on every big festival list but never headline. 


I wanna like Helix, and I do on songs like “Hangman’s Tree”, which are not great, not even very good, but they seem to love what they do and they do it without trying to be scary or too demonic. 


They’re nice metal guys. Canada nice.
