Left due to contractual dispute

In early 1993, Peter Mengede left Helmet due to a contractual dispute. He would later join the supergroup Handsome in 1995, which released one album on Epic Records in 1997 before disbanding. Mengede was replaced by Rob Echeverria , guitarist from the hardcore band Rest in Pieces. Helmet collaborated with House of Pain on the song ” Just Another Victim ” for the Judgment Night soundtrack. Helmet’s third album, Betty , was released in 1994. Despite managing the band’s highest-ever chart position on the Billboard 200 at number 45, the album did not sell as many copies as Meantime . In 1995, the band appeared in The Jerky Boys: The Movie , covering Black Sabbath ‘s “Symptom of the Universe” with Ozzy Osbourne making a cameo appearance as the band’s manager. Later, after recording and touring in support of Betty , Echeverria made an amicable departure from the band to join Biohazard .
