While continuing on the same basis as May Our Chambers Be Full, The Helm of Sorrow sees less of Emma Ruth Rundle, thus resulting in less integration from the two styles. Opener "Orphan Limbs" is the perfect example to that, Thou and ERR each displaying their qualities without ever truly merging them. It's great stuff, but it feels like a less refined version of the collaborative LP. Oh and it kinda sucks that the best song here is a Cranberries cover.
