Helloween

Helloween recording new album

Helloween recently entered Andi Deris' Mi Sueno Studios on Tenerife to start working on the yet untitled 13th full length studio album. The band wrote more than 20 Songs and is currently selecting the best ideas with long time producer Charlie Bauerfeind.

Bass player Markus Grosskopf comments the direction of the album as follows: "For all those out there who found our special best-of UNARMED to be too smooth and calm, I have a great news: The new album will hit you right in the face! It's gonna be very heavy and contain all Helloween trademarks! Some songs are very powerful and hymnic, others contain the fastest bass drum patterns our drummer Dani ever played, and this means a lot! I am really excited about the material we brought together and can't wait to put my bass tracks on those kick ass metal songs!"

The release of the album is scheduled for Halloween, October 31st, followed by a world tour starting in Europe the end of the year.
