     He rolled his eyes with full head movement, his hair flopping back messily as he eyed her, but the coffee was being produced and therefore, he was content. Honestly, he was easy. He got two bites into his pancakes as she pointed out where creamer was, stood up to reach for the fridge to get for both of them and then paused, mid-reach. “Tempting, but the negotiations require coffee first, so defeats the purpose.”        He went for the fridge himself, scoring the creamer and splashing some into his coffee, then flicked his eyes up to her with a gesture like he’d do hers, too.

roaming thoughts: reggie and the band, helheim

so i keep going back and forth on what the sound of the band would be. obviously this is mid-80s and each member of the band has a something different to bring to the table. being that reggie and nate sort of started up the band together, bringing in two more to make four, i thought the sound would originally be something akin to where the 60s and 70s left off. reg is very influenced by those eras because of her parents, it’s practically a staple in her collection of music. she’s an avid lover of zep.plin, do.ors and vel.vet und.erg.round. sometimes her taste expands farther than classic rock, dabbling into darkwave and what’s considered to be goth. 

nate, the drummer, brings an industrial taste to the band that hasn’t been experimented to thoroughly. diving deeper into the goth subgenre and his responsibility in introducing reggie, his knowledge goes a little bit beyond the surface. 

imo, a lot of female-led bands during this time didn’t have the kind of roughness i was looking for; edgy but not rough and grimy enough (being that the runaways, blondie and the bangles are not metal and were the most popular female groups at the time). it’s not to say they weren’t talented or fun to listen to or draw inspo from, it’s not on the level of mis.fits or slay.er. 

now the thought of grunge did come into mind, since the timing is on the very edge of where grunge should have started (approx. mid to late 80s somewhere in seattle) the idea of this band dabbling into the lovely traits of grimy sounds with a taste of punk, waves of soft acoustic every once in a while and kick ass guitar solos, it gave me this spinning idea that helheim could be one of the hundreds of bands playing around with the same idea of grunge (for reference, nir.vana technically formed in 87, ali.ce in cha.ins in 87, sound.garden in 84 and son.ic yo.uth in 81 just to name a few that started out in the scene)

so i came to the conclusion that the band is a grunge band, dabbling into experimental sounds, funky flare and sick solos that admire the likes of slay.er and pri,est. maybe i’ll go further into the sound of the band another day but this is what i decided on because hawkins doesn’t have the taste of grunge and they need it if the 90s is coming up soon.

EDIT: bonus, i found something that could be what the band sounded like before they really sat down to decide what they would sound like. click here. it’s literally inspired by the cure.

EDIT: here’s some more sounds that remind me of helheim.
