Instagram - https://instagram.com/helionprimemetal Photo 51 Waiting deep inside the framework Of all moving, breathing life Is the secret of a mystifying form We know the pieces of the puzzle But the fragments swarm around our fierce detection In a systematic storm There's a realization resting in The image that we see We will find the revalation which we seek In photo 51 Spiraling sky high Understanding all we find As we climb the ladder to complete The research we have done, time to ratify With certainty and peace of mind The nitrous base, the phosphate chain All revealed by photo 51 So elegant and simple Seemingly inconsequential as you Hold it in the palm of your hand Diamonds shape into a mark That signifies the last location Of a treasure buried far below the sand Though we may not be the lensmen Of this true historic find Just think of all the facts we can apply To photo 51 With this confirmation of our efforts We've been shown the way There's no telling if we could have reached Our journey's end absent of this chart This photo 51, is it ours to take? Evidence enough to make Its finders travel down in history How could anyone ignore this chance Solely due to circumstance? In the name of science Take the data found in photo 51 Our duty and our right To show the world our find In the name of science Release photo 51

Helion Prime have released a new lyric video for the fourth single "Photo 51" off of their upcoming album "Question Everything" due out on October 5th in North America along with Europe via their label Saibot Reigns and October 28th in Japan via Ward Records.

The band comments on "Photo 51":

"We are very happy to release the final single for our album "Question Everything", which comes out one week from today! This song is called "Photo 51" and based on...Photo 51! The first photograph of DNA. This song is a favorite among the band from the new album and those who have heard it seem to claim it as a favorite as well! It might just become a new staple in our live sets! We hope you enjoy Photo 51! And thank you to Scott Kennedy from 12 Inch Media for creating it."

It's been about two years since the band's sophomore release "Terror of the Cybernetic Space Monster" and Sacramento sci-fi power metallers Helion Prime returns with their third effort and the much shorter title "Question Everything" set for release on Monday, October 5th, 2020 via their label Saibot Reigns.  This is Helion Prime's first album with new vocalist Mary Zimmer, who has also accompanied the band on two separate tours of the United States. It also sees the band's original singer, Heather Michele, returning in a writing capacity and contributing all lyrics and melodies. Heather Michele also along with other former Helion Prime vocalist Sozos Michael and with John Yelland (Judicator/Dire Peril) add their guest vocals on the full length.

The highly anticipated third record is a concept album, with each song revolving around different figures throughout human history that had the courage to question the status quo of their respective worlds/societies, in some cases even dealing with harsh persecution as a result. Those Helion Prime chose to write about-faced prejudice, mockery, ex-communication, and persecution - yet through it all, they held true to their beliefs and ideas. Time would be their greatest ally as their ideas and identities were eventually validated, oftentimes not until after their passing. They serve as an inspiration for all minds to continue thinking outside the box and staying true to themselves.

Jason speaks on the album itself: 

"This album has truly been amazing to work on. The idea behind it is something I've been holding on to since around the time I started the band. Aside from writing some of what I consider to be Prime's best work it was a great experience getting to work with Heather again on an album as she once again contributed her talents for the lyrics."

"Question Everything" was produced by Jason Ashcraft and Alex Nasla. Mixing was done by Chris Collier and mastered by Brett Caldas-Lima along with additional mixing/drum edits/reamping plus writing and performance of keyboard arrangements by Alex Nasla of Gear Gods Studio. Guitar/Bass edits by Michael Goodrich and cover art by Marc Whisnant.
