Helter Skelter are a four-piece doom metal band hailing from Los Angeles, CA that plays loud, sludgy, and aggressive psychedelic metal influenced by occult horror and misanthropy. »Luciferous Satanous Doomicus« is the band’s debut EP, out on digital streaming platforms on October 30th, 2026 and future TBA release cassette tapes and CDs in the USA in association with Ruidoteka Records (Argentina).

After being frequently active in the live LA scene, Helter Skelter feel they have encapsulated their sound through this release. »Luciferous Satanous Doomicus« includes six tracks of raw fuzzed-out doom compared to the likes of Electric Wizard’s »Dopethrone«.
