Helix - White Lace Black Leather
Review by Lencia Joseph
White Lace Black Leather is the seventh studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Helix. Released in 1983, the album showcases the band's signature style of hard-hitting riffs, soaring vocals, and catchy hooks. With a mix of hard rock and glam metal influences, White Lace Black Leather is a high-energy album that will get any metalhead headbanging.
The album opens with the title track, a fast-paced rocker that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The guitar work is impressive, with blistering solos and heavy riffs that will satisfy any metal fan. The vocals are equally impressive, with lead singer Brian Vollmer's powerful voice soaring over the music.
Other standout tracks on the album include "You're A Woman Now," a slower, more melodic track that showcases Vollmer's range as a vocalist. "Rock You" is another standout, with its infectious chorus and driving rhythm section.

fantastic album....
My neighbor earthdog introduced me to this rock n roller.... thanks mate!

That 6/8 time change near the end was a cool surprise.
¡Great Song! ,,/
Imagine how groupies they pounded.
I am going to request this song on Dee Snider's House Of Hair.
I had this album on vinyl many years ago, but ended up selling my extensive vinyl collection back in 2011 when I lost my job at the Paper Mill due to it shutting down. Great Album, Great Band and Great Song and Thank You for posting it !!! Keep Rockin'
brilliant
These Transgenders Mainline is deception
underated album, probably my second fave to NRFTW
WaoW! That's my first LP given to me when I was 14 and that long guitars solo always stood in my head. That's the first time I'm hearing it since 1983!!! Thanks Darcy, that album is oing back in my classic's favorites! Cheers

Powerful song. Helix making a masterpiece of rock ballad. This song should be famous.
First album Breaking Loose was their best. This one was right behind.
This is hands down THE BEST Helix album!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful song. This album In my opinion is far superior to NRFTW . This and long distance heartbreak are masterpeieces
I heard this album when i was a child
Simply Old School 80's ⚡?????
My favourite Helix album. I have an original Canadian pressing on H&S Records.
I just bought the CD old school . hope they find more old stuff ?
Need a box set
Oh, My, Lord.
It's a good thing I didn't hear this from them first! If I had, I would have dismissed them!!
Were they Trying to be Country-Rock??
SO glad they got a different drummer & bassist, and improved their rhythm & lead guitar parts!!
Granted they eventually tried to go pop-ish, which turned me off from them for awhile, but luckily we'll always have "No Rest For The Wicked" with that great single "Heavy Metal Love"!!
