HELION PRIME Reveal New Album Details; Kickstarter Campaign Launched
March 16, 2020, 4 years ago
Sacramento, CA-based melodic metal band, Helion Prime, have announced a fundraising campaign for their upcoming third album, Question Everything. Visit the Kickstarter page here.
Question Everything will be the first album in the Helion Prime catalog to feature current vocalist, Mary Zimmer (Voicehacks, ex-Luna Mortis)
This announcement follows the release of a demo version of the song "The Final Theory" which has appeared on Spotify's "Heavy Queens".
Songwriter Jason Ashcraft states: "I am so excited to finally announce this album. The concept is something I've been holding on to for a long time, and it's great to finally see it come to life."
The concept of the album shows each song focusing on a different scientist or figure throughout history. Though they went against the common beliefs of their time and often faced persecution for their ideas, they continued to ask questions and stand up for what they knew to be true. As time would go on, their theories and beliefs would eventually be acknowledged.
