HELIX / REMASTER / REMASTER ROCK CANDY

HELIX – Long Way To Heaven [Rock Candy remastered & reloaded] HQ

This one was requested by many in maximum quality, HELIX more ‘AORish’ album from the mid-Eighties; the ultra polished “Long Way To Heaven“, fully ‘Remastered & Reloaded‘ by Rock Candy Records specialists.
Helix were a band you could always count on to deliver; live they were like an explosion in a circus and on record they served up numerous hard rock anthems.
Furthermore, they were relentless hard workers, banging out classy albums in the blink of an eye and touring the world like men possessed. The smart money was on Helix not only making the grade but also setting the bar for Canadian rock in general.
Helix first rocked the world a couple years earlier on the excellent No Rest For The Wicked, but I believe they put all the pieces together just right on this “Long Way To Heaven”. The songs are great and production top notch.
This Rock Candy remaster is excellent, the best…

HELIX – Eat Sleep Rock (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

Here we have in exclusive HELIX last album ”Eat Sleep Rock”, which opens with ‘The Story of Helix’ – the spoken word & guitar history of the band. Brian Vollmer takes us through Helix history, with the odd musical segues through “Billy Oxygen”, “She Loves You”, “Heavy Metal Love”, and “Lick It Up” among others as the story progresses. Even “Teen Spirit” in the 90s, “when everything went to shit”
Vollmer proudly proclaims he will “NEVER” retire! And if the second song, “Eat – Sleep – Rock” is any indication, that’s a good thing. This is a heavy rockn’ Helix. Produced by Daryl Gray, with guitars aided and abetted by Sean Kelly, this one smokes. There ain’t no rest for the wicked, as “Eat – Sleep – Rock” resoundingly demonstrates.
Long-time Helix fans are going to love this newbie that recalls the fire and fury of 1984 all over again.

HELIX / MY WICKED TWIN

MY WICKED TWIN (Doerner bros. from Helix) – 3 Engines (2020) *EXCLUSIVE*

Like a bolt out of the blue, MY WICKED TWIN (ex Helix brother twins Brent & Brian Doerner) have a new album out called “3 Engines“. A tight set with 10 songs in the 3-4 minute range, 3 Engines rocks.
‘Doctor Doerner’ and his bro have unleashed an album of catchy hooks that makes the songs almost familiar upon the first listen. There is that certain something that makes them easily recognisable despite being new and fresh. This different from their Helix days even though you will get some of that signature guitar sound. No matter what Brent does, the guitar always has that tone to the bone.
