Slik Helvetika

Slik Helvetika is the high-octane rock outfit led by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter **Michael Myers** (sometimes listed as Mikhall or Mik Myers), hailing from the gritty Philadelphia and New Jersey scene that birthed 80s hair metal legends like Cinderella and Britny Fox. Originally evolving from Myers' earlier band Destroyer—those young, attitude-packed rockers who missed the major label boat thanks to grunge killing the vibe—they took their time honing killer riffs, hooks, and melodies into what became Slik Helvetika around 2004, delivering driving energy with death-defying choruses and strong lyrics.

Fronted by Myers, the lineup has rocked with heavy hitters like **Kjell Benner** (ex-Quiet Riot) on bass and others such as Vern Parsons (Greg Howe) and Mark Bennett on drums, sharing stages with acts like Cinderella, Trixter, Foghat, and Manowar. Their discography packs nostalgic 80s power riffs, Halford-style wails, and releases like *Hafnium* (2009), *Krypt Kicker 5* (2007), and the fresh single *Solarhead*, keeping that full-throttle metal spirit alive.
