After Christmas, the most sung-about observance has to be Halloween. Of course, Halloween isn't as popular among kids today as it was when we were younger. You can thank uptight elementary school principals and square-nuts church preachers for that. Even the art of the Halloween rock and roll song seems to have faded into the mists of oblivion. Except ... we now have this wonderful internet which lets us find these obscurities and share them in all their rockin' glory. Here we go, Halloween's not for a couple of weeks now so expect a few more posts like [...]
News Marko Osterholz of Rockvoice HQ recently conducted an interview with former HELLOWEEN and current UNISONIC vocalist Michael Kiske.

Symfonia - In Paradisum Release date: April 19, 2011 As far as European metal artwork goes, I think is pretty inspiring on a personal level. But even if I wanted to harp on it - this band has members of Stratovarius , Helloween , Sonata Arctica , et. al. - would I really want a bunch of power metal dudes having it in for me?
Symfonia In Paradisum Edel Music 04 April 2010 by Tom Dare There's a band I'm not going mention in this review. In fact there's a box with their name on it, and every time I do I have to put a quid in for the Thrash Hits Christmas party. It's the band Timo Tolkki used [...]
With the world's economy down, scenesters, emo, screamo, hip-hop and various crap music genres darkening the skys above. In these dark days, and tough times ahead; would you stand the test of time, Are you metal? from their new album "7 Sinners", Are You Metal Video: helloween metal t-shirts
With the holidays right around the corner - and all the best of, greatest hits and holiday comps that come therewith - this past Tuesday was the last big date for new album releases in 2010, though there are still a few stragglers coming down the pipe. The world of hard rock and metal made [...]
Helloween 7 Sinners Spinefarm Records 31 October 2010 by Tom Dare The course of power metal greatness had never run smoothly, particularly in the case of Helloween. After all but defining the genre with the classic Keeper Of The Seven Keys pair of albums, founding guitarist Kai Hansen departed to form Gamma Ray, and after such [...]
Congrats to reader Ben Moreau! He is the only one who correctly identified last week's logo, which belongs the band Clit Cannibal. (Amazingly enough, that was my last girlfriend's pet name for me. Go figure.) Ben wins an awesome prize pack from The End Records, which will include a copy of These Are They's new album, Disposing of [...]
I'm boycotting Halloween this year. I'm just over it. All the effort that goes into planning out your costume, procuring it and dressing up... and worst of all the constant TALK with EVERYONE about "what are you wearing?" and "what are you doing this year?" It's like the obligatory weather-related elevator conversation... cringe-inducing. So over [...]
Well, are you? Helloween's new album, 7 Sinners , comes out on November 9. ARE YOU METAL? - exclusive myspace premiere Helloween | Myspace Music Videos

Desde que el ser humano se dio cuenta de que era imposible ser especialista en todo recurrió al reduccionismo, es decir, a simplificar todo al máximo posible. El bien y el mal son los dos elementos clásicos que ejemplifican esto. La religión ha sido tradicionalmente la encargada de distinguir lo que está bien y lo que está mal. Aunque parezca lo contrario, con este 7 Sinners Helloween no presenta un disco conceptual que hable de la dualidad mencionada, sino que es su particular manera de anunciar que todo el heavy que se guardaron [...]

Passano i giorni, passano gli anni ma, da ventisette anni, loro ci sono sempre...chi sono? Ma ovviamente gli Helloween che, dopo ventisette anni di onorata carriera, hanno pubblicato il loro tredicesimo studio-album: 7 Sinners! I grandiosi Helloween sono quindi tornati e, dopo tre anni di silenzio discografico, i tedesconi tornano alla carica con questo nuovo ed interessantissimo full-length che, idealmente, si va a "collegare" al precedente lavoro Gambling with the Devil. Ma qui la "potenza" del quintetto teutonico è raddoppiata e, finalmente, possiamo "ammirare" il batterista Daniel Loeble che si esprime al massimo delle sue capacità: [...]
I haven't needlessly lumped self newly-released videos together in awhile, and these three clips were all released pretty much at once, so I figured, "Hey, why not?" After the jump, check out the latest audio-visual offerings from Torche, Helloween, Linkin Park, and Your Demise... plus my usual bullshit commentary, of course. First up we have [...]

Helloween es una de esas bandas que marcó un antes y un después en la historia de la música actual. Con sus más de 25 años de existencia ha publicado 13 discos, ha encabezado muchos festivales importantes por todo el mundo y ha vendido más de 5 millones de copias de sus obras, algo que, tratándose de una banda de power metal, es un gran logro. Por su trascendencia es un grupo que ha servido de influencia para muchos otros artistas que hoy en día se encuentran también en la primera línea del panorama musical. Pues bien, [...]
How the mighty have fallen. Music - Helloween - Arts - Power metal - Musical ensemble
#5 – Necrophagist Technical German death metal that crushes! #4 – Scorpions Check out "China White." You can't really go wrong with Scorps - even the mainstream hits are great. But this tune is a classic. What a riff! You're headbanging. #3 – Destruction German metal legends. Eighties thrash rules. Mad Butcher!!! #2 – Sodom If any band [...]
If Italy is the mecca of modern Epic Metal then Germany is the epicenter of OG power metal... which I guess by today's standards is more like power hard rock. Edguy and all of Tobias Sammet's projects would be enough on their own to give Germany the power metal crown, but it really all goes [...]
