NICK MARCUM (HELMET)
IN LEFT, PAGE Hamilton may have just turned in Helmet’s most political album yet. Above a patented mix of drop-tuned riffs and hard-edged rhythmic displacement, the alt-metal icon sounds off on anything from cyclical patterns of U.S. gun violence (“Gun Fluf ”) to the unearned, puffed-chest politicking of the modernday Republican Party (“Big Shot,”“Dislocated”).
