HELSTAR began their epic journey back in 1984 with the release of their debut ‘Burning Star’. Since then, they’ve created quite a legacy for themselves, evolving more and more from just basic Heavy Metal to more of a hybrid of Speed and Thrash Metal. Despite hiccups along the way, including nearly a twelve year hiatus from 1995 to 2007, the band came back and proved they were still true to their formula with another three albums that still ran well with critics and fans alike. Now, thirty years later and still going for it, this Texan outfit felt it was time to celebrate in a live fashion. ‘30 Years…’ isn’t the first live album that HELSTAR has released, but it spans over 20 tracks of fan favorites and choice cuts. All recorded in the band’s hometown of Houston, the crisp production lets listeners hear the music on an intense level that will appeal to most fans of Thrash in general. Let it be noted to new listeners that this is not Modern Thrash or Modern Metal. The expectation of crushing riffs mixed with harsh and clean vocals are not going to be present. For the most part, the base of the music is going to sound like Power Metal with tracks like ‘Suicidal Nightmare’ and ‘Harker’s Tale’.
