Helicon is a Scottish psychedelic rock band known for their enveloping soundscapes and aural experiments that push the boundaries of the genre. Embracing the attitude and sonic expansiveness of neo-psychedelia, the group has carved out a distinctive place in modern music with their heavy yet melodic compositions. The band hails from Glasgow, a city with a rich musical heritage, contributing to their complex sound that is at once globally resonant and distinctly local.

Since their inception, Helicon has consistently delivered music that is as thought-provoking as it is entrancing, showcased in an array of releases that highlight their evolution. The self-titled "Helicon" serves as a deep dive into the band’s essence, while tracks like "Good Intentions" and "Zero Fucks" speckle their discography with an irreverent bravado that complements their sprawling psych-rock aesthetic. Their album "This Can Only Lead To Chaos" captures the tumultuous spirit of their work, packed with hypnotic grooves and fuzzy riffs. With each release, from the introspective "What You Love Will Kill You" to the boisterous "I'm More English Than You, You Cunt," Helicon invites listeners into a vortex of swirling melodies and trippy, reverb-laden soundscapes that refuse to fade into the background.
