London heavy psych rockers Black Helium released new full-length album »The Animals Are Coming«; out now via Riot Season Records!

London, UK based heavy psych rockers Black Helium are back with their fourth full-length album, »The Animals Are Coming«, which was just released on June 20th, 2025 via Riot Season Records.

Tracklist:
01. Return The Curse
02. Saviour Destroyer
03. Worm Vision
04. They Have Bodies
05. Up On A Hill
06. Inside The Horror Mask

With this, their fourth album Black Helium find themselves widening the parameters of their take on heavy psychedelic rock, with probably their most baked and hook-laden material to date.

From the no-safety-net freak out of »Return The Curse«, to the sawtooth groove of »Up On A Hill«, »The Animals Are Coming« LP is Black Helium at their most exploratory and focused.

Recorded one sun-drenched week in late June 2024, this time at Axe and Trap Studios with Ben Turner (Hey Colossus, Part Chimp). »The Animals Are Coming« is the band sweating it out in a room, fueled by “party foods” and vintage amps. Digging deeper towards the source, no matter how transcendent, no matter how dark.

Black Helium are a psychedelic power trio, based in London. Never afraid to stray from the beaten path, they traverse aural hallucinatory soundscapes; from detuned Neanderthal rock to deep oceans of introspective blissed out psychedelia.

The band consistently gig across the UK (including a two week tour with Japanese label mates Hibushibire late 2024), and have recently started ventures into mainland Europe. And plan to continue this path.

Black Helium is:
Stuart Gray – Vocals, Guitar
Beck Harvey – Bass, Vocals
Diogo Gomes – Drums
