Helloween - Skyfall
Updated: 3 hours ago
Friday Release #86
The first single from a new album by German metal giants Helloween, due out June 18, 2021.
It will be the power-metal pioneers' first album in six years.
It all began with the announcement of a world tour in 2016. The media were excited and fans were ecstatic. This was more than a reunion: the tour brought together seven iconic band members, Andi Deris, Michael Kiske, Michael Weikath, Kai Hansen, Markus Grosskopf, Sascha Gerstner and Dani Loble.
It was a dream come true for fans around the world, and they all shared one wish: "Stay together!"
The band has made that wish come true, with the album due in about two months. The first single, released on April 2, 2021, is called "Skyfall", an epic written by Kai Hansen whose album version is set to run for 12 minutes. It tells the story of an alien landing on Earth and a dramatic chase, accompanied by a breathtaking video. Featuring 3D animation, it is undoubtedly the most complex and ambitious video in the band's history.
As part of the excitement surrounding this major comeback, the band decided to record at the same Hamburg studio where "Master of the Rings", "The Time of the Oath" and "Better Than Raw" were recorded. The fully analog recording technology is another kind of return to their roots.
