Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Meantime' is a brutally precise, rhythmically punishing masterclass in alternative metal and 90s post-hardcore. Helmet completely eschews traditional rock solos in favor of drop-D, heavily syncopated staccato riffs, creating an incredibly aggressive, raw, and energetic sonic sledgehammer.

Genres

Descriptors: rhythmic, noisy, uncommon-time-signatures, chugging, metallic, distorted, ferocious, groove-laden, dynamic
