Helloween - New Album First Details Unveiled
Today is a big day for German power metal legends Helloween as they have revealed the first details about their new album. With the release of their 15th studio album due on May 29th, the pumpkin heads release My God-Given Right 30 years after their first self-titled EP. Check out the snowy cover artwork below! How excited are you for the follow-up to Straight Out Of Hell?
My God-Given Right was recorded between October 2014 and February 2015 at the band's very own MiSueno Studio in Tenerife, with long term producer Charlie Bauerfeind (Blind Guardian, HammerFall) handling production and recording duties. The artwork was once again created by graphic guru Martin Häusler (Bon Jovi, Queen, Gotthard) and will also be available as a 3D Lenticular print.
You can pre-order it exclusively via Nuclear Blast here.
Martin Häusler comments on his recent creation: "We tried to built a world of ideas, keeping the 'classical Helloween' elements, like the pumpkins on the one hand and a complete new look on the other, just like we did it the years before, working on a Helloween artwork. A first inspiration came from the album title My God-Given Right and some of the song titles like 'Swing Of A Fallen World', 'Lost In America', 'Battle's Won' etc. During my research I stumbled upon the Blockbuster Day After Tomorrow and the idea of just leaving the world to the 'pumpkins' was born. The most challenging part of this artwork was to have both, the Limited Edition and the 11" Earbook provided with a 3D-Lenticular-cover (a full 3D cover, visible without 3D glasses). That's the reason the entire artwork was done 'in one piece', using a 3D program... we did not want one of those 'cheap Lenticular-covers, done by converting a 2d-version', but the best possible real 3D result: So don't get any other versions - this will be a true collector's item!"
