Betty is the third studio album by American alternative metal band Helmet, released in 1994 by Interscope Records. It is Helmet's highest charting album in the US. The album was highly anticipated by both music critics and fans as a result of the band's success with the previous album, Meantime (1992).
One the most influential bands for the mainstream metal scene, Helmet can honestly state that they were highly original. All through out ‘Betty’ you can hear riffs that would be templates for Korn’s style of riffing and unmelodic vocals that Deftone’s Chino Moreno would owe a lot to as far as inspiration for his vocal style goes.
