A new widget for HELMET's upcoming album, Seeing Eye Dog, is now available below:

Helmet recently announced they will hit the road September 8th - one day after the September 7th release of Seeing Eye Dog.

Seeing Eye Dog marks the band’s first release since 2006’s Monochrome and first on indie Work Song label (with physical distribution by Redeye and direct-to-fan digital delivery by Topspin). The new album is also being paired with a bonus disc of live material recorded at the Vans Warped Tour in San Francisco 2006.

Launching in Sacramento, CA September 8th, the tour will take Helmet - vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Page Hamilton, drummer Kyle Stevenson, guitarist Dan Beeman and bassist Dave Case - to the US and Canada, wrapping up in Los Angeles November 5th. Immediately after, Helmet will head to Europe for a string of dates.

On a limited availability basis, tickets for the North American dates go on sale today, Tuesday, July 20 atthis location..

The purchase of a US show ticket will also include a free digital download (one download per order) of the new album for a flat price of $24, only when purchased via the band’s website.

Also available now, Helmet fans can sign up for three free preview tracks: 'Seeing Eye Dog' and live tracks, 'Milquetoast' and 'Tic'. For those who purchase any package of Seeing Eye Dog via the band’s website before the September 7th release date, they’ll also receive the album’s expansive song 'LA Water' in advance.

“The free tracks and all-in-one ticket/download bundling price is a nice way to say thanks to those of you who came to shows and continue to come to shows,” says Hamilton. “The bonus live material is a way to relive a performance we may have had in your town.”

With a body of work as varied as Helmet, Hamilton takes time to make sure each set list hits on all levels.

“Tempo, key and the groove in a song are things I think about in order to have the set flow,” he explains. “It has always been important to me just as the sequence of an album is important. I grew up listening to albums, not single songs, so the entire experience is what I care about the most.”

In an effort to offer fans multiple options, Seeing Eye Dog is available in five separate purchase options. Further information on these options can be found at the above link.
