I love helloween. But man nothing near Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Louisville, Kansas City, Cincinnati, St. Louis …. This sucks. I would travel to any of these cities which some of them are 12 hours plus for me. The coasts are well represented, but the Midwest is completely left out. Unsure why because I feel there’s plenty of support in these areas

Milwaukee is only 1 and a half hours from Chicago.

Yeah I get it when you live in Chicago. But I don’t. If you live in the Midwest, it’s going to be difficult to see them. They’re traveling along the perimeter of the USA. If you somewhere south in the Midwest, you’re screwed

I’m just bumming because it’s going to be tough having to take two days off trying to see them play. I love this band and I’ve always have traveled out of my way to see them play. But this schedule is nearly impossible to see them live

It's worth it. October 28, Poland:

Could be worse. I live in Alaska. We get nothing up here except for when Mastodon played at the state fair. But they played a week after I went to Denmark for school.

I got to see Helloween at their concert in Sweden a few days go though, it's defenitely worth it

Beast In Black guitarist Anton Kabanen will sit out the band's North American tour as the support act for Helloween in order to focus on completing work on bands long-awaited fourth studio album

Earlier today (Tuesday, April 7),the guitarist released the following message via social media: "Without further ado, sadly I have to tell you that I won't be able to join my bandmates on the North American tour. I need to stay behind because it's absolutely vital for the new album, which is still work in progress.

"Making this album has been imbued with constant distractions, challenges, deviations and problems which have effectively stanched the creative, technical and practical workflow beyond acceptable, especially in the past couple of years. But reality always wins. However, the album has finally reached a pivotal checkpoint but requires my utmost attention more than ever to make sure it lives up to what you've been waiting for, and what you deserve from us.

"This wasn't an easy decision. I know many of you were looking forward to seeing us together on stage, and I'm truly sorry for any disappointment this may cause. The band will still be going out there giving you the best-of-the-BEAST shows, and I fully stand behind them.

"Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and for always standing by us. We can't wait to share the new music with you and be back on stage together again as soon as possible."
