HELSOTT Release "I'll Make Ya Famous" Single And Music Video; New Album Details Revealed

Helsott has unveiled the music video for “I'll Make Ya Famous”, the new single from their upcoming concept album, Will And The Witch. The group's newest album will be released via M-Theory Audio on,May 20. Pre-orders for CD, limited-edition double vinyl, and digital editions of Will And The Witch are available here.

“'I’ll Make Ya Famous' is the first song on the album," explains singer and video director Eric Dow. "It is the only song on the album that is not directly related to the story. It is more of a prelude and overall description of Billy The Kid. We shot the music video at Whitehorse Ranch in Landers, California. The Ranch is a movie studio and is 1800’s authentic. This is the first time I have directed a video and we are extremely excited to release what we believe is our best music video to date."

Watch the new video below.

Helsott's newest album, Will And The Witch - mixed and mastered by J-F Dagenais (Kataklysm, Ex Deo) and featuring artwork by Felipe Machado Franco (Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Gamma Ray) - is a concept record that tells a fictional story about how Billy The Kid became the fastest gunfighter in the wild west. The first taste of music from the new album was recently unleashed with a visualizer video for the title track, which can be viewed below. The band returns to its musical roots on their latest record with heavier thrash overtones and less orchestral work than their prior record, while catching listeners off-guard with new influences befitting of the album's theme. Thrash metal, power metal, and death metal all converge with acoustic campfire segments, Southern banjo and fiddle, and Native American-inspired hand drums and flutes. The end result is a record that is musically ambitious while remaining melodic, thrashy, and true to the underlying sound of Helsott.
