"In the Meantime"
Song

"In the Meantime" is a song from the American alternative metal band Helmet's second album Meantime. It was nominated the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1992.

Recording and production

The song was recorded by Steve Albini and later remixed by Andy Wallace. Wallace's style of mixing, which involves (among other things) triggered samples and a cleaner more polished sound, irritated Albini. Later, when in negotiations to record Nirvana's In Utero, he stipulated a clause be added to his contract stating that Wallace would not be allowed to remix the album, after he had mixed Nevermind, which was released nine months before Meantime.

Cover versions

The song was covered by Soulfly on their 2004 album Prophecy, and by Pig Destroyer on their compilation album Painter of Dead Girls. Also In 2018, Lamb of God covered the song and it is featured in the band's cover album Burn the Priest.
