Aftertaste was released in 1997 by Helmet though Interscope Records.
This was Helmet's final record with John Stanier (drums) and Henry Bogdan (bass). Page Hamilton subsequently reformed Helmet and released Size Matters in 2004. Helmet did not have a second guitarist at the time Aftertaste was recorded, so Page Hamilton did all the guitar himself. However, guitarist Chris Traynor (formerly of Orange 9mm) came on board in time for the tour.
