Following on from their well-received albums Primitve Fuck (2018) and The Wholly Other (2020), London based psych rockers Black Helium release their third album Um via Riot Season Records. Here you find psychedelic defiance at its most incendiary and joyous. Returning to record at Bear Bites Horse studios with Wayne Adams, Beck Harvey, Diogo Gomes, and Stuart Gray deep dive into lysergic rock primitivism sparking sprawling stream-of-thought explorations to bring about an album that is as fried as it is alive. Black Helium are a psychedelic power trio, based in London. Never afraid to stray from the beaten path, they traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed-out psychedelia. Black Helium are: Stuart Gray (vocals, guitar), Beck Harvey (bass, vocals), Diogo Gomes (drums). Purple/lilac color vinyl; edition of 400.

2020 repress on pink vinyl. Black Helium are a four-piece that formed in 2016 for a special one-off Halloween gig at the notoriously heady Guild Navigator club in East London and have since spread their sonic gumbo of hard-edged psychedelic head-fuckery and Neanderthal glam rock swagger across the country. Heavy friends Stuart Gray (vocals, guitar), Beck Harvey (vocals, bass) Davey Mulka (guitar), and Ben Davies (drums) went on to record their debut, Primitive Fuck, at Hermitage Studios with Margo Broom in March 2017. Although, Ben Davies disappeared abruptly after recording his drum tracks after experiencing a "profound life-changing mystical occurrence". Influenced by bands such as Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Amon Düül II, and The Stooges, Primitive Fuck channels an era when psychedelic rock stood for mind expanding eclecticism and hip-shaking sonic hedonism in equal measure, moving from motor city heroism, to shapeless kosmische, ambient ego-death via space ritual riff worship. Now, with new drummer, Diogo Gomes on board, Primitive Fuck represents the birth of a band your psychiatrist warned you about. "An absolutely epic fucking performance from Black Helium who were heavy as fuck and destroyed my already fragile mind with their Flying V twin attack sounding like Sabbath, Black Angels, Hawkwind and The Sweet battling in a monster riff shop." --Spencer Hickman (Death Waltz Records, Transmission Records) Full color sleeve with insert; Includes download code.
