Message posted from Brian Vollmer of Helix:

Next Wednesday we will be giving an early Christmas present to Helix fans. As
a thankyou for all your support throughout the year, we have recorded a brand
new song that we will be posting next Wednesday on our My Space site (go to My
Space and then type in Helixonmyspace). You will be able to listen to the song
in it’s entirety and also to download the song if you would like.

The
song came about after an hour long conversation I had with Michael Ivarsson of
Sweden Rock Festival a couple of weeks ago. We were discussing the possibility
of bringing Helix back to Europe next summer. The conversation ended with
Michael suggesting that we write a song called “Fill Your Head With Rock”. 3
years ago Kim Mitchell wrote a song with the same title and it became the theme
song of the festival. Michael hopes that every year a different band writes a
different song with that title. I got off the phone and thought, “I think Gord,
Steve, and I already have a lick that chorus will fit.” Within short time I had
written the verses and chorus and then phoned Gord to tell him my idea. Gord
then took that idea and wrote the lead rhythm in his head. A couple of days
later the three of us got together and before too long the song was finished.
Last Thursday we went into EMAC STUDIOS and recorded the song.

So the
song is to thank you-our fans-for your loyal support throughout 2006; one of the
band’s best. After a successful return to Europe in 2005 we started off this
year with a two week tour through western Canada in support of my autobiography
“Gimme an R!” followed by an eastern Canadian tour in support of Alice Cooper.
We also played several major festivals this summer with such notables as The
Sweet, Vince Neil, Quiet Riot, & Lou Gramm. In October the new Trailer Park
Boy’s movie “The Big Dirty” featured our 1983 hit song “Heavy Metal Love” and
just last month Planet Helix was featured on MTV CRIBS. We released our new CD
“Get Up!” in early November and so the CDs have been blowing out of
here-yesterday alone over 400 people alone visited our myspace site to listen to
the new tracks.
