Helloween have been teasing a new album for a while now, but over the weekend, they made a surprise announcement of their new album Giants & Monsters. The new album will be released wherever you get your music on August 29th. Here’s the statement the band made.
We locked ourselves in a studio, summoned some giants, wrestled a few monsters, and somehow came out with a brand-new album: ‘Giants & Monsters’. (It also smells like victory and possibly dragon breath.) The album is DONE. And because we’re terrible at keeping secrets (and even worse at waiting)… Ready to enter the realm of riffs, roars, and ridiculous solos? Tracklist incoming. Brace yourselves. Or don’t. We’re not your parents.”
“Giants & Monsters” track listing:
01. Giants On The Run
02. Savior Of The World
03. A Little Is A Little Too Much
04. We Can Be Gods
05. Into The Sun
06. This Is Tokyo
07. Universe (Gravity For Hearts)
08. Hand Of God
09. Under The Moonlight
10. Majestic
What Have Helloween Been Up To Lately?
Helloween have been busy in recent years, undergoing multiple tours, including a 40th anniversary tour with Beast in Black that kicks off later this year. They’ve also put out the absolutely excellent Helloween, self-titled album. That was a return to form for the band that saw all three singers in the band working together. Hopefully this new album provides just as much heavy metal thunder.
