Helmet toured the United States, Brazil, Europe, and Asia relentlessly, generally with other AmRep recording artists. Internal tensions rose high at times. In early 1993, guitarist Peter Mengede left the band and formed Handsome which only released one album in 1997. He was replaced by Rob Echeverria, guitarist of hardcore band Rest in Pieces. The band's third album, "Betty", was released in 1994. Despite managing the band's highest-ever chart position on the "Billboard" 200 at number 45, the album failed to sell as many copies as "Meantime". In 1995, the band appeared in "", covering Black Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe", and featuring a cameo by Ozzy Osbourne as their manager. Later, after recording and touring in support of "Betty", Echeverria left to join Biohazard. His departure was much more amicable than Mengede's.
