RVH

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.
