Bootleg Helmet CD “Bad Moon” issued in 1992 by Bullseye Records, a subsidiary of Australian bootleg label Black Cat Records.

This recording is unique in that its 6th track, titled “Unknown”, is actually a live performance of an unreleased Helmet demo known by many die-hard fans as “Rock Messiah”, with slight variations to the song’s composition and lyrics compared to the 7" demo recording.

The exact location in which this concert was taken from is also currently unknown.
