Heldon is a progressive/space rock band from Paris, Île-de-France, France. Formed in 1974, the band was led by Richard Pinhas. With their unique blend of genres, Heldon has established themselves as pioneers in the music industry.

Inspired by bands like Zao, Dün, and Amon Düül II, Heldon's sound is characterized by its experimental nature and captivating melodies. Their music pushes boundaries and takes listeners on a cosmic journey through space and time.

With influences ranging from Magma to Art Bears, Heldon has created a distinct sound that captivates audiences worldwide. Their innovative approach to music has earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim throughout their career.

Heldon was continuing to evolve rapidly. Thanks to the increased presence of drummer François Auger and synth / Moog man Patrick Gauthier, Pinhas' project had solidified into a harder and heavier unit. Despite its often warm and near-funky feel, Interface has been cited as an influence on key industrial and noise musicians including Wolf Eyes and Merzbow. The album's final song, its side-long title track, builds up slowly into a roaring tornado of fiercely mutating drum patterns, effervescent synth work, and guitar licks that wail into the atmosphere like an abandoned astronaut. Then, after nearly nineteen minutes of highly futuristic avant-garde space rock, this ultramodern music fades out and is replaced by a concluding few seconds of traditional blues-rock guitar.
