HELIX Frontman Comments About Sanctuary Signing

As we first reported here, Canuck rock legends HELIX have inked a new deal with Sanctuary Records. Frontman Brian Vollmer comments:

Yes, Helix fans, it’s true. We have just signed an eight record deal with Sanctuary Records in the UK for the territory of Europe. We will now be label mates with MOTÖRHEAD, RONNIE JAMES DIO, BLACK SABBATH, and DOLORES O’RIORDAN, just to mention a few. Sanctuary will be handling the new CD entitled The Power of Rock n’ Roll and seven past catalogue titles: Breaking Loose, White Lace & Black Leather, Half-alive, B-Sides, Back for Another Taste, Live! in Buffalo and Rockin’ In My Outer Space. With the exception of Rockin’ In My Outer Space, Sanctuary will be creating new/bonus artwork on the entire past catalogue. The person in charge of this huge task is Jon Richards. For the past two weeks I have been scanning pictures/write-ups/ads to send him. No date yet on when they plan to re-release these titles, but Power will be out by July/August. It’s ready to go to press now. The past titles will be released after that.

Lynda (Vollmer) and I will be flying to England to meet with the company representatives in late June. I’ll also be doing interviews set up by Sanctuary while I’m there plus visiting all our English friends.

On Friday Gord Prior and Danny Broadbeck went into EMAC Studios and completed the final master for The Power Of Rock n’ Roll. Meanwhile across town Spiro Papadatos was just putting the final touches to the artwork, so we expect to ship the finished product to Sanctuary early next week. Sanctuary has told me they are looking at the July/August time slot for a release and I will coincide that with our North American release. We are also shopping Power in other territories ie. Japan, Australia, and the U.S and we’re waiting to hear back from the people we’ve sent the music to. Being signed to Sanctuary in Europe will help to boost our profile and perhaps attract record company interest outside of Europe.

HELIX To Release The Power Of Rock N' Roll This Summer

HELIX mainman Brian Vollmer has issued the following update:
"This week we finished the mastering and artwork for The Power Of Rock N' Roll and sent both off across the pond to Sanctuary in the UK. Here in Canada we're pursuing other avenues to release the new CD. Regardless of whether or not we get a licensing deal here in North America, the CD will come out here in July/August to coincide with the European release. Since the late '90's I've had quite a good distribution system of my own through the Planet Helix website, eBay, and mail order companies ie. Isotope from Burlington and Perris Records, out of Houston, Texas, just to mention a couple. Power is a combination of Get Up! and four new songs, so we will not be pressing up any more of those CDs. For those of you who have bought them to this point, they are now collector's items. Hang on to them."
