HELLOWEEN Comment On Upcoming Loud Park 2012 Appearance, Confirm Knock Out Festival As Only European Date This Year




Germany's HELLOWEEN have checked in with the following update:


"Finally the end of our studio-time is in sight!


After being busy with writing and recording our new songs for the
last couple of months, this fall a long-awaited live performance will
take place: For the first time we will play at the legendary Loud Park
Festival in Tokyo, Japan! October 27th, we´ll be co-headlining this
event, which has become the most important metal event in Asia!





Throughout our whole career, performing in Japan has always been
(...and still is!) something very special for us - connected with best
memories and the strong and persistent support of our great Japanese
fans. So we´re especially happy and eager to play in Japan the first
show after our long stay in the studio.


With the confirmation of the Loud Park Festival we´ll make it to two continents this year: Asia & Europe.


As previously announced, our show at the Knock Out Festival in
Karlsruhe, Germany, December 15th will be our only European show, Loud
Park Festival will be our only live appearance in Asia in 2012!


Armed with our brand new album, we´ll be on the road again beginning
of 2013 for an extensive world tour - we hope to see you there again!"


According to a press release for the forthcoming album, "The new
production will again be helmed by long-time producer Charlie Bauerfeind
and will of course contain all the trademarks. Already in this early
stage the new effort promises to be much more than a fine follow-up to
the highly acclaimed Gambling With The Devil and 7 Sinners albums.
Bombastic epic pieces have been worked on as well as ultrafast heavy
songs and mid-tempo anthems."
