Blog author: Alex Stojanovic It's the news that we have been waiting for from Helloween for a long time now. After a couple of successful years of touring with the Pumpkins United lineup, they announced that they were working on their much-anticipated sixteenth studio album, which would be the first album to feature Michael Kiske since Chameleon, and the first to feature Kai Hansen since Keeper Of The Seven Keys: Part II. After a couple of years of work on the album, it is finally ready to see the light of day. The album will be self-titled, and it will be released on June 18 via Nuclear Blast Records, with the first single "Skyfall" due to be released on April 2. The official cover artwork has yet to be revealed, but the band released the full track listing, which can be seen down below. The album was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind, and according to the band, they went "back to the roots" for this album, with the whole record being recorded on analog, and drummer Daniel Loble playing on the original drum kit used by original drummer Ingo Schwichtenburg (R.I.P.) on the Keeper Of The Seven Keys album. How cool is that? This is sure to be the Helloween album to end all Helloween albums. Stay tuned for more info on one of the most anticipated albums for this year. Helloween track listing: 01.
