Brocas Helm is an American heavy metal band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1982. Named after the medieval Brocas helm displayed in London, the band has maintained a cult following for its blend of traditional heavy metal and power metal. The core lineup consists of vocalist-guitarist Bobbie Wright, bassist Jim Schumacher, and drummer Jack Hays. Their debut album, Into Battle (1984), was followed by Black Death (1988), released on their own Gargoyle Records after the band parted ways with First Strike Records. They later issued the EP Ghost Story (1994), several singles, and the acclaimed album Defender of the Crown (2004). Brocas Helm's songs "Cry of the Banshee" and "Drink the Blood of the Priest" were featured in the 2009 video game Brütal Legend.
