With such a terribly generic name and quite mundane album cover, you might be excused for doubting the content of the German legends' fourteenth original studio album. Those that have kept on the ball with Helloween in recent years however, will know that the band have been on remarkably good form and will certainly not judge this proverbial book by the cover.

I hate when some of my favorite bands are like, oh ya we've got a new album coming out...IN FIVE YEARS. It just seems like such a dick move. Now I have to sit around and wait, knowing full well that the album is on its way, but that it's so far away.

Hope it will be as great as the 7 sinners. Unfortunately, the band is not at it's peak since the keepers era, however there is a wide range of awesome stuff they did with the current members.

Let's hope that it will be as good as 7 sinners!
And one thing more...let's hope that during the upcoming tour they are gonna play "deris era" songs!!! they can create a wonderful setlist. Keeper songs are amazing but we have watched them live many times!
Let's see.....

I do wish they would play more of Andi's era songs live. I love the Keepers songs, but they play them so much live, and though I love Andi, Michael Kiske's voice was perfect for those songs. I wouldn't mind seeing them pull "Twilight Of The Gods" or "Judas" out for the next tour though, it's been so long since those songs were played live!

I hope that Sascha and Weikath will be more inspired on new album with solo parts..they become a little boring with almost same solo types on last few albums!

Yep, if I had one complaint about 7 SInners, it's that most of the solos weren't very memorable. And memorable solos are normally a hallmark of the Helloween sound. So I hope Sascha and Weiki serve up some classic Helloween solos on this new album! xD

Yea they have much improved with lirics but solo parts are all the same..When Weiki and Hansen whas playing that solos sounds like they challenged one another..imo that is what is missing now..

...Shaping up to be a great album

I agree..and i admit that I was skeptical cos they always announce big things, but they not turn out that big!imo
But this few songs(except "Wanna Be God" for now) currently make me optimistic that this will be great album!

Here is a new interview with Andi where he says he wants Michael Kiske back on stage with Helloween for a 2-3 song encore, which he will take a back seat during. What a class act Andi is!




And here are 30 second samples of every song from Straight Out Of Hell:

That is a song from 7 Sinners, but I think that was a live premiere for the song.... It's never been played live before! Sounds awesome live, they should keep it in the setlist for the next tour, and ditch Where The Sinners Go.

Well, it seems that there is also one more bonus track! A bonus track for Japan called "No Eternity". And if experience is anything to go by, it'll probably be a great song! Helloween do have a lot of amazing songs which are bonus tracks.

I am starting to get crazy about this album. What is the 18th? Next Friday? Yeah, that's it. A little more than one week!!!

Their last two albums have been especially good in my opinion. I also enjoyed most of Keeper... The Legacy, but when Gambling With The Devil came out, I got blown away! I have to listen to the samples when I get home from school. I am 87.777779 percent certain that this album will be great!
