NETHERWILDS UNLEASH ALE-SOAKED NEW SINGLE "HELM YEAH"

Hear ye, hear ye: even a downtrodden peasant deserves a night off.


Having endured toil, taxation, errant livestock and the everyday indignities of life beneath the crown, NETHERWILDS' resident peasant hero Worm Chewer returns today with "Helm Yeah," the latest single from the band's forthcoming debut album, Peasant Rising, arriving October 9th via King Volume Records.


This time, however, revolution can wait until morning.


"Helm Yeah" finds Worm Chewer stumbling from hardship into revelry after a particularly productive encounter with a cask of ale leads to the discovery of a nobleman's great helm. Naturally, there is only one reasonable course of action: put it on, gather the townsfolk and celebrate like a man whose station has suddenly risen several rungs above the mud.



A rowdy medieval metal drinking anthem built for raised tankards and questionable decisions, "Helm Yeah" offers a more jubilant glimpse into the strange world of Peasant Rising. Beneath the merriment, however, lies the same peasant spirit that runs throughout the album: if the ruling class gets the armor, the castles and the feasts, why shouldn't the common folk enjoy a little grandeur of their own?

Regarding his latest adventure, Worm Chewer proclaims:


“My quest for the goat led me to the bottom of a cask of ale, I must say. But in my drunken stupor I did stumble upon a treasure most rare. Aye, a nobleman’s great helm! And what good is a peasant's life and if one can’t make merry with his fellows, amid the sorrow and toil? Dress for the job you want to have! Hold my ale, I’ll show you how to frolic with the best of them.”
