ANDI DERIS Says New HELLOWEEN Album Will Include A Ballad; First Single To Arrive In February

Earlier this year, the reunited expanded classic lineup of German power metallers HELLOWEEN signed with Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) for the release of their next studio album. The band entered the studio this past summer to begin work on the follow-up to 2021's acclaimed self-titled effort...

The new album will be out in the summer and contains a ballad and at least 3 songs written by Kai! Good. Andi loves them, the whole album is full of great hooks.

''80% of it is positive, sometimes very fast and heavy''.
 
He also did an honest, apt description of the last album. Exhausting experience indeed.

I never played it after 2 or 3 listening sessions around the time it was released.

There aren't many albums of the band that I like to listen as a whole piece often, but the Reunion album does a good job of that, despite having 2-3 songs that I'm not a big fan of. There's definitely something ''exhausting'' in the onslaught of power metal and the many vocal/ideas, but that's their thing. I really hope for the new album Kai wrote some of the longer and not that straightforward songs (Andi said this is the approach of it more or less, like the bonus songs for the latest album?), although the band has a great sense for melodic and catchy rockers. Maybe from Weikath. I just don't want a whole album of such songs, something more creative, they can do that.
