Helgië, the 2016 debut album from Flemish metal band Fleddy Melculy, came from a project that started out as a joke. Jeroen Camerlynck, who also played in the rock band De Fanfaar, built it around a deliberately daft name that twists Freddie Mercury's, and then the joke turned into a career: the debut single "T-shirt van Metallica" took off right away and the band signed with Sony Music.
The album follows that single's lead, with heavy, chugging riffs, roared vocals and tongue lodged firmly in cheek, a metal record that can headbang and laugh at itself in the same breath. It arrived the same year as their first EP, Wat de fok?, and a slot at Pukkelpop, and it climbed to number two on the charts in 2016. The following year the band was opening for Guns N' Roses at TW Classic.
