By the time the group began to make an impression on more than the noise rock underground, thanks to what resulted from a major-label deal, their sound had developed from a scummy grind to a very precise and diabolical din - full of martial barks, jackhammering drums, rumbling bass, and some of the most brilliant IQ-lowering guitar riffs since Black Sabbath's first four albums.

How could such an unpleasant sound come from people who looked so reasonable? The band spent the early years slumming it with the likes of Unsane and Surgery, fellow New York bands that fit the jockish/bookish postcollegiate look and picked up where Big Black left off. The noise they generated did not fit the (lack of) image. Four guys who looked like they had just punched out after running the batting cages at Softball City & Put-Putt-a-Rama: that's the type of image Helmet cut on-stage.
