In the interest of full disclosure I’ll admit right now I haven’t heard a Helloween record since Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 & 2. To be even more frank, I don’t plan on ever going out of my way to listen to any other Helloween albums unless someone out there can conjure up a terribly compelling reason that I should.
Now that that’s out of the way, here’s the scoop -- Helloween recently announced they would be touring the world with Stratovarius in what is to be called The 7 Sinners World Tour. It should not come as a surprise to anyone then, that their new album will also be titled 7 Sinners.
The band is currently tracking the final songs on the album after which it will be mixed, mastered and in your local record store before the year is out. Take a look at the European dates announced thus far...
