Already, on their debut album, HELGA weaved together a dark and enchanting assortment. Wrapped in Mist shifts from progressive, Ennio Morricone-inspired folk to abrasive black metal and booming post-rock. “Simply put, this is an incredibly strong debut from a very talented group of musicians” New Noise wrote in a 4-star review.
It is with profound reverence and anticipation that Season of Mist announces HELGA‘s ethereal performance at the ‘Rising Metal Talent Showcase’ during the IFF this year.
Hailing from the Swedish hinterlands of Dalarna and Halifax, West Yorkshire, HELGA amalgamated in 2019 in York, North Yorkshire. United by singer, Helga Gabriel, the quintet delve into a musical alchemy on their pursuit of darker manifestations.
A vast exploration of sonic textures present themselves on HELGA‘s premier album ‘Wrapped in Mist’, as chugging riffs, spectral strings and imposing drums converge into one.

Summoning a plethora of layers and genre, HELGA culminate their premier album ‘Wrapped in Mist’ into dirgeful lamentations of mortality and mental health, punctuated by formidable drums, spectral strings and chugging riffs. The album’s first single, ‘Skogen mumlar’ (The Forest Murmurs), transcends forthwith into emotive dreamscapes that leave hairs trembling on goose-pimpled skin. Ennio Morricone echoing as the intro’s muse.
Season of Mist is proud to welcome HELGA!
