[acbntx2008]

I thinks it all of bunch of short squatty mexicans tring to be white rock stars

[GRILLBUOY101]

wow thats high pitched vocals. great gyuitarists i love the double bass drums in the intro.

[acbntx2008]

Larry Pena (aka Larry Barragan) was supposed to be a follower of Jimmy Paige, but I cant tell with the crud that he has benn playing. I think its the worst I've ever heard!

[xoxfrijoles94xox]

@acbntx2008 "follower" hmm... well, isn't it better he's doing his own thing.. instead of copying a GOD...^ Page*

[randynelson1]

Dam......... Those Diamond Amps sound fucking brutal.

[belquerst]

I love metal music, but I rly don't like this band..

[Gravedigger3433]

Классный спид-метал! Хоть и похоже немного на Metal Church!

[biggreentractor115]

My dad is best friend's with the drummer...His name is Russel :D (the drummer)

[lannmetal]

I just recently discovered Helstar, and God, I love'em!! BTW their "Distant thunder" record is simply awesome!!

[acbntx2008]

[vio2112]

Haha. Awful super cheap ass video, but the song kicks ass.

[metalheadjake7]

Dude, that bass player looks like a batshit crazy David Ellefson! \m/ awesome stuff!

[a1mayhem1]

WOW!! The new material DOMINATES!! Great to see Helstar make such an awesome comeback!!

[devatron]

Helstar is another bad ass legendary texas band! Here's hoping we get to jam with them sooner rather than later!! youtube.com/watch?v=WWO7qEDni2­8

[BloodScavenger]

i had this band on my ipod for too long now, and i never listened to them...i started listening for about 2 weeks and i could tell you something, THIS BAND FUCKIN RULES...best vocals along with best guitar riffs and solos and finaly with some killer drum beats! too much satanic...like tormentor...best lyrics!

[jonfitforbattle]

Old guys playing outdated music with an over-the-hill chick in gross tight leather

[masterofktulu11]

@jonfitforbattle "Outdated music"? there's not such thing in metal or rock n' roll.

[T3HM3T4L]

@jonfitforbattle Oblivious douche making a useless comment with a holier than thou opinion.

GTFO of this comment section if you don't have anything constructive to say. Great vocal work! I love bands like these! PM me if someone knows some more bands with singers like these! (Judas Priest, Anthrax, Toxik, Flotsam And Jetsam, Raven, Manowar, Slayer...)

[metal1mark73]

what you mean it was banned in 1988?

[madrocker900]

I liked this band,this infernal vocal I like very much,Helstar,poooooooooww!

[z3dbr]

this look like thrash

[Voitcu]

Helstar, the only band that can make slayer sound like the beatles.

[irron4]

dam good to see you all here !

[TheAyalafelipe]

This is brutal metal! I love this guys! Their music has gotten heavier,Larry and Rob are still belting out blistering leads. I saw them yesterday in Houston and they absolutely rock, vocalist James is in a class by himself.......................­.

[reefsofspace]

Sounds good but doesn't sound anything like Helstar.

[maidenkid84]

holy shit i lovehelstar!

[Adam713Houston]

These guys are awsome i seen them twice live in houston bad azz band

[zelaaman]

Awesome I used to own Helstar album on vinyl Nosferatu in UK I wish I had it on cd I may get it as well as this great masterpiece! thanks for posting! 5 stars!

[evermetal2]

WHAT the fuck is this? Nice song but definitely not Helstar. Sounds more like Dark Angel or something.

[metaluke17]

@evermetal2 : this is Helstar. no mistake here

[Envenomed69]

You obviously know nothing about metal \m/

[Envenomed69]

Helstar pop...Lmfaooo

[jc1daddy2]

Pretty darn hardcore

[moviemaker3000]

This is the wave of American Power Metal. It's no where near as good as European =D

[monkseatcheese]

Euro power metal has no balls.

[moviemaker3000]

@monkseatcheese What the hell are you talking about? It's the foundation and soul of the best music on the planet. This stuff here is too much pointless speed.

[monkseatcheese]

@moviemaker3000 Its basically pop. Check out Manilla Road for USPM that is not all about speed. Stuff like Iced Earth is great too. To be fair there is a new wave of good PM in europe. check out bands like Persuader. I personally cannot stand stuff like Hammerfall. Im not a huge fan of Helstar either, actually.

[moviemaker3000]

@monkseatcheese

Ok when you're calling it pop, what bands exactly are you targeting? I love Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Nightwish, Kamelot...they are NO where near that pop shit. Hammerfall is all right.

[maldororfiend]

@moviemaker3000

[moviemaker3000]

@maldororfiend Were you going to say anything? You replied with a blank comment.

[bittersylence1]

Grew up listening to these fuckers. Love it! 44 years old.

[GarbagepailbroS]

Helstar is such an amazing band. From their old school MASTERPIECES, to this new song. Awesome musicians!!!!

[gglaw42]

"power-thrash"metal.

[flight324]

dude this is awseome. jacksons and high vocals yes dude

[megadethiast]

dont know why, singer reminds me of neil pert hahaha

[samiyoukhana]

brig back Andre Corbin, dont get me wrong larry and the other guy still kick ass. Imagine triple shredding. That will be the day. Helstar Rocks!!!

[TheGrimmetalReaper]

Great vocalist, great band...... HELSTAR KICK ASS

[SuperLion911]

كويتي بحق ! ليتحد الكويتيون فقط ويكونوا كهذه السلسله بقوتها رساله بحق

[SuperLion911]

كويتي بحق ! سلاسل ضد عراق العاهره ليتمزق جسدهم القذر واقول للواعظ المخابراتي الذي يتحدث تحتي اذهب الي ارض العاهره والقي مواعضك بها الكويتيون لا يحتاجون للموعظه

[yousif121212]

الألفاظ هي الثياب التي ترتديها أفكارنا . . فيجب ألا تظهر أفكارنا في ثياب رثة بالية.

[SuperLion911]

كويتي بحق! سيكبل عراق العاهره بسلاسل كل من يسب الكويت واجعل السلاسل تخترق حلقه الخبيث والعفن المبطن بجلد حيه سحقا للعراق العاهره

[vegantrax]

THIS IS THRASH METAL

YEAAAAHHH

[DangerousDaveSHR29]

I love their first four albums but I don't like everything after Nosferatu (which is their best IMO). This song isn't really bad but has that kind of a modern, overproduced tone I can barely stand. It doesn't sound like any of their old material, more like Slayer.

[rellikagem]

Saw them yesterday live, didn't knew anything about these guys.

They f*cking kicked our thrash metal ass!!

[LobatosMetalManiac]

fucken awesome!!

helstar!!!!!!!!!

[relworp69]

Lame video but good music!

[jtake9]

Check out their album Nosferatu if you havn't before

[IgoRthethrasher]

it's my favourite. Especially like To sleep, per chance to scream.

[razdwatrzyheh]

How the fuck it happend that i haven't knew them before... fucking amazing

[ShowNoMercy502]

Man, I stumbled across these guys quite some time ago but somehow they managed to slip below the radar and I just 'rediscovered' them today. Forgot how fuckin' awesome they are!

[theraj662]

Fuck this is some GOOD shit!

[phederico2000]

niente di che

[9misuraco6]

The guy is singing like Rob Halford when Rob was singing PAINKILLER.

[jimiofdeath]

Is that Riff Raff from the Rocky Horror Picture Show on the bass?

[danszig]

sick... but i miss the old style!!

[jimiofdeath]

Looks like Elvira got fat, but the music pretty cool, the visual aspect is gross and disgusting.

[klotchie]

HELLS' YEAH!!!

Saw them & hung out with them at Knitting Factory in LA earlier this year. The crowd turnout was pathetic but the boys really rocked!! truly friggin phenomenal!! & they were the coolest guys I've met since meeting Death Angel. They took the time to take pics & chat with my lady & I. KING OF HELL is easily the best metal album I've heard in 2009. Come back to LA soon guys!!

[5915ruben]

fucking sick!!!!

[Raveness25]

ehehhee james !!!! you are a good guy .. see you again here in NY ..

[tr00p3r4]

Can't wait to see them in fucking Dynamo!! This has to be the most underrated speed metal band! I never heard anything like Nosferatu, and The King Of Hell is a masterpiece!

[athonxen]

"The King of Hell" is by far one of the sickest metal albums of the new millenium. James you are the king.

[motiff8u8]

Of the new millennium ? Bollocks, their first album

is from 1984

[hellazteka]

BUT the king of hell is from 2008 ¬¬

[megadethfan6]

Rivera still has it!!

[reaperpro]

sheesh, this is badass.

[metal1mark73]

Man Helstar's new cd is awesome and if i was in a band i wouldn't want them to open up because they could take the show easily with their power thrash progressive metal sound.

[down2earthdad43]

@metal1mark73 IT SUKT THAT REMNANTS OF WAR WAS BANNEDN IN 1988, HELSTAR IS AWESOME...

[Drem0raL0rd]

Awesome stuff. Great vocals!

[gglaw3]

Big fan of this group since the mid 1990s, this is true metal in every sense of the meaning.

[rcfleeger]

Caught these gentlemen last night in their hometown H-town. Outstanding show.

[leonardoinvader]

De puta madre!!Aguante HELSTAR!!!

[rickology2112]

WOW...Mr. Rivera has the pipes of a hellion!..The rest of the CD is even better that this one song. Ride this one till the wheels fall off guys. And kids "Run With the Pack" that is HELSTAR!

[rockstix]

love the vocals

[rockcop222]

Awesome guys...keep up the great work ! Hope to see you guys soon...

[metropolisimages]

Well Done!!

[johnnyteres]

Will they ever top Nosferatu? Not likely.  Still kick ass to see these guys back in action man!

[NewHorrorfield]

I still don't really know why it was released here 3 months earlier (I live in The Netherlands), but seriously, the album made number two on my yearlist 2008, so awesome!

The Garden Of Temptation = best song of 2008/9!

[angelpriest]

sorry, "we never forget him" i mean

[angelpriest]

James rules! Never gives up and we never forget me. I owe you a glass of ouzo next time in AThens!

[ThrashHard08]

wow, i had no idea they made a new album, this is a sick ass song

[Alterofmadness]

Killer song, but the vid is somewhat lame...where the hell are Larry & Rob playing their solos???

Shame on the producer!

[Maidenangel]

My thoughts exactly! Not showing the guys playing their solos, disgraceful! I was looking forward to that! Aside for that, the video is pretty good. James Rivera totally looks like Chuck Billy before he put on all that weight cos of the cancer. He's damn hot!

Love this song, it's awesome. And Helstar rock! \m/

[Alterofmadness]

How true! The new Helstar is like thrash metal with god-singer James Rivera on vocals - a total riff-massacre!!

[Maidenangel]

James Rivera just seems to get better and better with age! He is truly one of the greatest metal singers ever, and is not given anywhere near enough credit. He has every right to be up there with Dickinson, Tate, and the Metal God himself, Mr. Rob Halford!

And the new album is just pure metal fury, done with sense of class to seperate them from a lot of the not so good bands of this type. Heavy as hell!

[Alterofmadness]

Oh, and I think he stands quite on top of Mr. good ol' Halford, nowadays, hahaha...!!

[Maidenangel]

Haha! Have to agree with you there on that one! ;)

[MetalMama5150]

Too freakin' cool! And Tracee's a badass Video Vixen!

[RFiasco]

amazing. can't wait until the 17th.

[MagicaLynn]

Pain rules!

[rayencino]

texas metal at its best!!!

[rclark14]

crushing new material- I love this band and every lp they did rules- Suicidal Nightmare is the greatest

[dobo666]

cool. helstar kick ass

[maninwhitedress]

What a crazy video of pain. Now I can feel this monster music with a weird beat to the head. Will I walk backwards for the rest of my life because of this.  I don't know.
