Helion Prime – Helion Prime

[schema type=”review” name=”Helion Prime – Helion Prime” description=”Label: AFM Records” author=”Nina Mende” pubdate=”2017-02-24″ ]

Helion Prime was first conceived from a common love of metal and all things science. The band was founded when Jason Ashcraft (of Dire Peril) asked Heather Michele (of Graveshadow) to form a project with him. Between the two, they had worked with such artists as Mark Briody (Jag Panzer), Brittney Slayes (Unleash the Archers), Andy LaRocque (King Diamond), Ralph Scheepers (Primal Fear), Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon/Star One), and Niklas Isfeldt (Dream Evil). The concept; power metal with themes based on actual scientific theories with the occasional sci-fi tribute. The name Helion Prime was borrowed from an alien planet featured in the film “Chronicles of Riddick,” a movie the two were great fans of.

This is the brand new album of Helion Prime. It is a self titled release and it comes with ten tracks. The first one is an intro. Strong female vocals come right at you, after the intro has faded into the following song. Thriving rhythms and distorted guitar riffs will pull you along right away. “Helion Prime” is a strong metal album that is marching forward. Some vocals and melodies add some pop elements to the otherwise quite heavy music. Giving the strong and cold body a soft soul.

Helion Prime has created a brilliant album that you will find yourself getting lost in. Great arrangements are combined with brilliant vocals. Passion meets strength. Check it out, the self titled album by the guys of Helion Prime is out now.
