New Helloween album - My God-given Right

Average tune. But I know that the first song to be released does not reflect the quality of the album.

I am sure the album will be outstanding.

You think so? I've enjoyed them quite a bit. Kai's weird voice is the only thing that tends to bother me.

Yea the albums are half good ever since Majestic.

The last Gamma Ray was amazing. "To the Metal" I don't love, but it's still pretty good. I think they're really consistent. No-one better in the true power metal field. But I guess if you don't like them to begin with, then it may sound like a "clunker after clunker".

I love Gamma Ray but They just lost something over the years. Land Of the Free will always be one of my favorites.

Gamma Ray is twice the band that Halloween has ever tried to be, barring Jericho of course. wrote:

Nope, Gambling puts Helloween ahead.

That's kooky talk !

Good song. I like both bands and both bands recent material has been good. I really thought Master of Confusion was an excellent album.

Empire of the Undead.

Master of Confusion was the EP

Kind of confusing, too, because the song "Empire of the Undead" was the lead track on the Master of Confusion EP

Consider the source.

The other song

That's another really good sounding tune. I can't wait for the release.

Official Lyric video for "Battle's Won" (the one P.R.D. posted above appears to be dead)



Not a bad tune, but man, there's some serious "Engrish" going on in the lyrics.

It's Helloween. That's to be expected. Haha.

Yeah, nothing new there.

Ok thanks for posting the new video. I like it but you can't go by what I say since I'm too much of a fanboy, but it took me one listen to like it where as the past few albums it took a while for me to get into them.

The album was released today, and to my surprise my copy was already waiting for me in the mailbox when I got home from work.



I tried to capture that cool hologram cover with a camera, but should have known you can't really do that.

Anyway, I'm going to play it now

What? It's not released where I live.

It's not out in the States til the 2nd, right ?

Yea I got mine today too. I got the Japanese release. What do you think of it Lari? I listened to it once and I tried listening to it again but I got distracted so I'm listening to a few songs now. I think its really good. Still going to need a few listens to get used to the songs and get to know them better but I like it. I'm probably the last one to ask what I think about a Helloween album tho haha.

Sounds awesome, that's what I think!

I love the fast songs. Going to need a few more spins to see which ones really stand out.

The bonus tracks are pretty good too

I also think its a little different as well. Not completely different, its Helloween of course but theres something a little different. Not sure what it is yet but it sounds great. I think to me, the last few albums seemed to be almost left over songs or something. These feel like totally new songs with new ideas.

Well, I don't know about "new" ideas as I started to think about Walls of Jericho when I was listening to the fast tracks at the beginning of the album. But yeah, different from the last few.

I did like Gambling with the Devil and Straight Out of Hell a lot though. But they had more "modern" compositions. This new one is pretty simplistic. Short songs, lots of energy, wild thrashing power metal sound, basic lyrics, straight to the point, instant pleasers (to Helloween / power metal fans).

Hahaha yea maybe not new ideas but just something a little different.
