Roel van Helden biography
Dutch musician Roel van HELDEN has been around for a good few number of years, with a past histoy as a band member that is quite impressive: Delphian, Sun Caged and Subsignal should all be familiar bands for many. He's currently involved in a handful or so of other projects. In between all past and present band involvements van Helden has also apparently desired to venture out on his own, and in 2012 he released his debut solo album "RvH" on fledgling German label Hands of Blue Records.

— First review of this album —

Dutch composer and musician Roel van HELDEN is a name many might recognize if not for his name alone then at least due to his background as the drummer of Delphian, Sun Caged and most recently Subsignal. Still in his early thirties he has an impressive resume due to that part of his musical history alone. "RvH" is his first solo album, and was released by the fledgling German label Hands of Blue Records in November 2012.

Roel van Helden's first solo album is a varied affair that touches base with quite a few different stylistic expressions and does manage to do so in a rather creative manner too. Well developed drum patterns and clever use of percussion are a given for such an album, and those with a particular taste for those aspects and a wide and liberal taste within the rock and metal realms are perhaps a defined key audience for this production. As well as curious fans of the bands he has been or still is a member of, obviously.

Thanks to windhawk for the artist addition.
