A valiant effort and it could work indeed. If only undead were not immune to mind affecting effects.
Since I presume this is just a hypothetical experiment I'm open to all opinions whether the helm is mind-affecting or not.
On the first hand it is not explicitly written but no spell defined in item description either.
On the other hand it says "both mental and moral" which are pretty much mind thingies.
So the question is more like: what counts as mind-affecting in general? Can a transmutation be mind-affecting?
As a side note; I also pondered what "always evil" means. Does it mean that if you become non-evil then you default to evil, unable to change? How about magic? And how about creatures of magic, does that quality surpass a spell or a magic item?
