When i heard about they would write a new Album with the UNITED line up, i told everyone the Album would have KEEPER Quality ... now anyone sees that differently ? :)
I have the release date marked on my Callender and memorized. Been a huge fan since i was 18 (34 now) and few things get the blood moving like a new Helloween album. Amazing band, amazing sound, long live Helloween!!
They are 42 years into their career the band started in 1978 as gentry with kai Hanson and piet seilk of iron savior as the founding members with 2 additional members on bass and drums.. with kai and peit both as guitarist vocalist. Ingo joined in March 1980 while piet and kai rotated between guitar and bass until Markus joined around November 1980. Ingo talked about it in an interview with a Japanese magazine around 1991. In that same interview and other ones around that time he also said he missed working with kai and expressed a desire to work with him again. So if ingo had not died by accidental suicide, he most likely would have replaced Thomas knack in gamma ray in 1996 instead of Daniel Zimmerman and for us gamma ray fans would have heard ingos drums all over somewhere out in space and the albums that followed. But if kai needs to do some gamma ray shows again at some point he can always ask Markus Sascha and Dani loble to fill in if needed since micheal ehre now drums for primal fear.
Yes! And Helloween was the very first power metal band, so it's awesome to hear that Kiske and Hansen are back in the band! It's like a dream come true! And don't get me wrong, Deris is a good singer, but I never really got into his voice. It was always Kiske for me. But this song is amazing!
Andi deris is one of greatest singers and songwriters on the planet. Every album with him is incredible. So versatile and unique voice. He is helloween as much as weikeith is. Listen to his albums with pink cream 69 too. All great classy hard rock-melodic metal
I love these guys... They've composed the soundtrack of my life. This song is just an amazing anthem, I can't believe how Good they are inspite of the years... I will Listen to Helloween til' I die.
No one talks about the amazing but simple lyrics. If you're stuck in a rut, DECIDE! and LISTEN TO YOUR HEART! I think it's a way to tell people to make sure to be living lives that are true to themselves, and if not living a life like that, make the effort to and DECIDE!
First I thought, I'm not listening, I wait to June for the whole album. But I had no chance, I had to listen to it. Great, brings me back feelings I had when I first heard the Keepers ages ago. Sounds like a Deris composition. Exceptional songwriter!
Helloween have created another masterpiece, the vocals are really incredible, the notes they are hitting my god... Kiske and Deris have upped their game, with the rest of the band, fan since 88.
Someone said that this could be the best album since the Keepers era. Although I was introduced to Helloween in the Deris era and loved them , I sincerely think we are lead to this direction. The best Helloween record since the keepers era and WE FUCKING LIKING IT. What a song by the way?? Thank you great Andi Deris.
For me Helloween is the Andi era without a doubt, but having these guys together is just beyond words, if they can stay together for the rest of Helloweens lifespan I will be soooo happy 😊😊
My personal favourites are the first three albums with Deris in the band. Gambling with the Devil was also a great record. It's a shame that people don't talk about it that much. And yes, this song is great. I'm pretty hyped for the new album, not going to lie.
The best song in the darkest times. Certainly everything is changing. I do wish from the bottom of my heart our kids can keep on rocking in a free world.
After following this band and kiskes solo projects for the past 20 years, I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined how great their voices fit together. Blessed 🤘🏼
It is incredible that after more than 30 years and the changes in their training and others, they have returned with so much POWER, thank you really !!! it is an honor to be contemporaries to the best heavy metal band in history !!!!! Thanks for being together again
Absolutely epic as usual. Imagine being in a band that has Andi Deris and Michael Kiske as your lead singers? .... Game over for every other metal band!! 🤣🤣
The first time I ever listened to Helloween I was probably 15 and that day I felt that I could take on the whole universe and I would win with a smile plastered across my face...it's thirty years down the rocky path of life and I just got the same feeling and the same smile. Thank you guys for bringing it back for me even if it 's only for 5.39 minutes and before life steps in again...I am really thankful for having you as a big part of my life's soundtrack. Cheers from Portugal.
Hi, ImI To all fans of Helloween's music, I am a fan of Helloween from the very beginning of the group. Currently, I am 57 years old, I play and compose myself, but I still like and listen to Helloween a lot. I know that there are many who love Michael Kiske for his amazing sound of his voice and unique vocals, but for me, my personal idol is Andy Deris, as a singer with a heart for metal and rock music, and not warm as in the case of M. Kiske singing more suited to ballads and light rock than power-metal music. With all the respect, Michael Kiske does not have the heart for heavy metal or powermetal sound and this, despite his good intentions, is unfortunately heard in many new songs in the new Helloween album. In my opinion, it is thanks to Andi Deri’s that Helloween owes a and sounds so good a lot. Andy is not only a vocalist, but he is also great at creating compositions, he has a great sense of dynamics and that's something that makes you want to listen a Helloween all the time. Similarly, it is with the musicians, in my opinion the fundamental line-up of Helloween is Michael Weikath, Sascha Gerstner, Markus Grosskopf, Dani Löble and of course Andi Deris, as the vocalist and charismatic leader of the power metal sound Helloween. Of course, I love Keepers, but the next 2 albums with M. Kiske's vocal after Keepers were not the same Helloween. Only after Andi Deris came to Helloween that Helloween returned as a real power metal band. Kay Hansen is a great guitarist, but for me my Helloween king is and always has been Michael Weikath and his friend Markus Grosskopf. Sascha Gerstner and his friends create a great band, and they are not only guitar virtuosos, but also great composers and incredibly intelligent people who create music because they love it. It is to feel unlike any other. Personally, I hope that Helloween will record many greater new albums, but I would love to listen and buy them for my own complete collection like a power metal person, preferably without M Kiske and Kay Hansen on board in Helloween band. No offense to those who love M. Kiske and Kay Hansen. My respect for all of you, but… My favorite time of Helloween is with Andi Deris, not with M. Kiske. I love metal, and you can feel the difference right away while listening to M. Kiske's solo albums and projects it’s not a metal music.
This song saved me at a very scary time in my life. The tears flowed as I sang the chorus internally while trying to mentally drag myself along the sidewalks. Thank you Helloween, I will never forget you!
I think this is another amazing song that captures the keeper sound while also sounding like the Andis albums. Also, I think I read it's the opening song and I think it does a great job at that. Seems like they are using Kiske for the higher parts and sounds perfect, the solos are classic Helloween too. Also, the quiet parts are a big plus that makes the song sound more mysthical/epic (which is exactly how Weikath described it in an interview). Definitely a better level than what Helloween had released in many years. Not sure why some people are disappointed at this song.
@@oldschool6425 yeah, I am really impressed with how well they've managed having the three vocalists. Kiske and Deris really do complement each other. Like, you listen to the first verse in this song and I don't think Kiske would have done it better than Deris, but then Kiske sings the chorus and it's just epic. The riffs and solos are classic Helloween too. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
@@markobighead3173 you are right, they first song is written by Weikath and, after hearing how he described it in an interview, I am really looking forward to hearing that one.
This album is going to be an incredible thing, at the levels of Better Than Raw or even better, with Hansen Kiske and Deris together, truly thanks to the dream of a lifetime, a pure Power Metal 🎸🎼🔥🎃
another thing I also wanted to say, I was reading that Skyfall would have been the only song written by Hansen but fear of the fallen was also written by him 😎and in my opinion other songs will have written in this album, we are waiting 💪🏻
@@mattia777VII Fear of the Fallen was written by Deris, what are you talking about? Hansen has indeed only written Skyfall and an intro (about 1 min long).
@@christosntounis if you go to Google and write the title go to text below you will find the composers, they are Hansen with Deris for fear of the fallen
@@mattia777VII You don't have to google it. You should just read the description from Helloween about the song. "Fear Of The Fallen" is a fast paced, melodic track done the way only lead singer Andi Deris can do it.
Guitars so hungry and virtuoso ! Deris singing with high pasion and fever, drums omnipresent, and Kiske and Hansen singing too! More can not be asked !
@@atilacarvalho3736 concordo total !!! Perdemos um tempão com a eterna treta Deris x Kiske , qdo o incrível são os DOIS JUNTOS !!! Admito , prefiro o Deris , acho muito mais versátil ...mas tô curtindo pra caramba os dois juntos
That is in my humble opinion the "Best Song Ever"....and also all of the songs in this absolute MASTERPIECE!!!....This song is perhaphs Helloween best song ever!!!...and that is much to say..of course its my humble opinion of a fan that watched them born!!...what a priviledge......this song has a profound message that can be life changing!......thanks for existing Helloween!!!
La complementación entre Kiske&Deris es magistral!!! Sigo a #Helloweem hace más de 20 años y juro que espere este momento siempre. Todas sus épocas en un solo tema , mágico,épico!!!!! Larga vida a Helloween y Larga vida el heavy metal!!!!
I miss Andi Deris so much on new album. This is my favourite song on Helloween 2021 album. After all. Andi were the voice of Helloween for 30 years and his rock voice is always lovely.
Amazing!!!!!! Sounds like they had a big fun in composing the new album….they are back at the top of their shape….Deris and Kiske are somehow at their top….Weiki and Hansen in full power….the past formula thrown in the future….hauntingly beautiful!
I know one thing I've decided.... i'm buying this album and the volume will be cranked all the way up to eleven, fear of the fallen out with the neighbours!
Have I died and gone to heaven? Deris rocks, and having Kiske back has NOT disappointed. Saw them in Germany for Pumpkins United and can't wait to see them in 2022!!! This is perfection!
I'm so incredibly happy that Kai and Michi are back. I honestly love Andi, and I love Sascha's shredding, but after My God-given Right (the album as a whole) I had this strange feeling that it lacked something, a spark, like there was some fatigue going on and the guys were out of inspiration and new interesting ideas. And when I first heard Skyfall, I was like - oh my God, they're back. They're epic and awesome and they do epic and awesome, 7 minute long music videos, and Skyfall is supposed to be even longer on the LP. I am so happy and I wish they will stay together for longer so that we can get more and more awesome pumpkin stuff!
I totally agree with you. Helloween is my favorite band for the last 25 years. And I was introduced to them with Andi Deris. I think that in My God given right, they were forced to release it faster, after Straight out of hell. That's why it felt as a very poor record. Probably the most uninspiring record in the Andi Deris era. But after 2015 they took their time, Michael and Kai came back, they tried new stuff and they have reinvented themselves.
@@Priest1908 I was a little let down by Sky Fall; I think this album was rushed, as well, I'm hoping the rest of the album is more in the spirit of the Keeper albums; with the funny songs, and the buoyant German humor, which typically permeates Deris' vox. This feels, unfortunately, like a half-measure; trying to, not duplicate, but emulate what Paeth/Tobi did, and much of the other stuff Kiske did with Somerville, and Lande, and; I haven't been shown yet that the material is 'genuine,' in the sense that; it sounds like Kai is only there for marketing reasons; that he's holding back his good material for another Gamma Ray album. On the other hand, my experience over the past ~22 years of absolutely loving this band has usually indicated that the singles released, are usually the most uninteresting songs on their albums, save for the Rings/Oath albums, which I think might be their best work, or at least on par, with the Keeper Albums, but I'm a big fan of the Dark Ride album, which I felt was unfairly received (lots of great composition, and lyrics there), so my opinion may be a little skewed... As a musician, of many instruments, and producer myself; the guitar-work displayed thus far, has been par; it sounds over produced; and without me hearing Kai cut through, both vocally, and melodically, it is hard for me to get overly excited about this; I've seen Gamma Ray and Helloween many times, and Kai seemed like he was going through the motions, being a good soldier and friend, on the PU tour. I love Helloween almost exactly as I love Gamma Ray; they both inspire me to reinvent myself, and to just express myself; the summing of these two forces would seem almost too good to be true, and alas, I fear it is. I don't wish anyone to mistake me; I LOVE THESE GUYS, I think they are the all-timers in heavy metal; not Priest, not Maiden, not Metallica (barff); it's these guys and RJDio at the top of the mountain; I just feel a little disappointed with what I'm hearing; maybe I expected more than this? I really hope there is; but I also want the band(s) to go back to where it/they were, and just have Kiske or Kai guest on a track or two every album, and have Kiske guest on the GR albums, like he already does; sadly, Kiske is no longer able to do full shows, Kai got a new singer for GR; their voices are slipping, and its only downhill from here, so this feels like their doing it FOR US, and not for themselves, which is where I feel the disconnect. I'm sure that both their and GR next albums will ring truer after this episode, so I am just hoping that everything works out, and everyone is still friends, when this is over.
@@matthewmeyers3862 It happened the same to me, till I listened to the full version of Skyfall... Oh my it's so much better. And this one is algo great too
@@matthewmeyers3862 have to somewhat disagree with you about kai but have to agree about skyfall and it is not the song as it sounds like a song from the somewhere out on space Era or PowerPoint it is the sharing of the vocals I think kai and eike freese should have mixed this track at gamma rays studio and should have just had kais vocals exclusively on this track and then live figured out who would sing what. Part of the reason I say this is because as kai stated in an interview recently was as that kai did not finish writing and arranging skyfall until right before preproduction started those who are familiar with kai and gamma ray know that he is very picky when it comes to his songs and is very detailed. And used to being the only singer and doing his own producing and mixing. Any way kai stated that he started writing this sing but it was incomplete and he tried to finish up other tracks that were incomplete gamma ray demos like pumpkins united was originally but when he tried working on the other tracks they did not come out the way he wanted so he kept working on skyfall until he got the track finished, the issue I think with this track and this album as whole is their were too many producers involved. Charlie bierfiend is okay as he also worked with kai but adding Denis ward into the mix and recording at 3 different studios was crazy just because nuclear blast wanted them too. And then taking it to new York and transfering everything from a digital mix back to analog and mixing it again on analog mixing boards was totally unnecessary. I think they should of recorded everything between misuano which is andis studio and kais chameleon studio with the mixing done at chameleon and the bulk of the recording at kais studio with kai producing and eike freese doing the mixing with maybe Charlie bierfiend helping with the final mix at kais studio like was done on the track pumpkins united.
I'm crying, dude, what a time to be alive, even with all the bad stuff going on in the world, this is a light shining in the cosmos, I can't find words to describe what I feel with all this new music you guys are giving us... my heart is pounding so hard right now...
Helloween, la mejor banda de Power Metal de la historia. Hicieron popular el género y acá están, 30 años despues, a punto de sacar un disco tremendo. Ya no es sólo que se reunieron con los antigüos miembros, realmente parece que trabajaron mucho en este album. Unos genios.
Really, really, REALLY love how Kiske and Deris sound together. I worried it'd be awkward but they've clearly put a lot into figuring out how to make their voices work with each other. Can't wait for this record.
So good, so fookin good. The collaboration between Andi & Michi with Kai in the mix, it´s just phenomenal stuff. If rest of the album is in the same level as this and Skyfall, then we´re about to witness something magical. Well, it´s been good +35 years so far and I have a feeling, that it´s just gonna get better.
This song is like a Delorean and transported me back to 1988, driving around in my car with Keeper Of The Seven Keys on cassette blaring on a daily basis. Amazing.
Dude, this song is epic, a masterpiece. Here comes the feeeeear of the fallen We riiiiiiiiiiiise when you’re calling A light in the niiiiiiiiight We’re flaaaaaaame in the fire The vooooooice in the choir We’re always nearbyyyyy…..
What amazing songs with even greater lyrics, some will understand the message many won’t, but I am positive a true metal fan will get it since this is the true spirit of Metal
Nothing can describe the feeling of have been watched this legends together alive (twice)..and now this masterpiece. Helloween is aging amazingly well.
Words can't describe how spectacular sound Deris and Kiske together
Dream come true
And Kai, can't forget Kai!
They are absolute magic!
Dude fuckin A

Thanks Helloween from Greece
hearing Kiske and Deris together is indescribably amazing
I am 57 years old and have been listening to Halloween ever since you existed .. I just can't help but listen

Nope. It's rather renaissance, but not really the best period. Best was arguably 1994-2000
I dont think so...

Theres a reason why Andi was the King at the Out for the glory clip
A song whit a deep meaning, a song whit a two immortal voices, a song playing for exeptional musicians...It only can bring a universe perfection
Well said
This song is truly a masterpiece, they are the kings of Power Metal and they reminded it to all of us with this great album!
Deris has great composition skills. This tune is (again) another great axample of why Helloween is still kicking ass to this days.
Andi is cool. "I wrote the song and i'm done." Then rest of Helloween writes the instrumentsl.
Deris rules metal god! Keeper 4!!!
Ohhh...celio...youre is a great fans of HELL🎃WEEN...CHERRSS CELIO

Like, you listen to the first verse in this song and I don't think Kiske would have done it better than Deris, but then Kiske sings the chorus and it's just epic. The riffs and solos are classic Helloween too. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
@@markobighead3173 you are right, they first song is written by Weikath and, after hearing how he described it in an interview, I am really looking forward to hearing that one.
This album is going to be an incredible thing, at the levels of Better Than Raw or even better, with Hansen Kiske and Deris together, truly thanks to the dream of a lifetime, a pure Power Metal 🎸🎼🔥🎃
another thing I also wanted to say, I was reading that Skyfall would have been the only song written by Hansen but fear of the fallen was also written by him 😎and in my opinion other songs will have written in this album, we are waiting 💪🏻
@@mattia777VII Fear of the Fallen was written by Deris, what are you talking about? Hansen has indeed only written Skyfall and an intro (about 1 min long).
@@christosntounis if you go to Google and write the title go to text below you will find the composers, they are Hansen with Deris for fear of the fallen
@@mattia777VII You don't have to google it. You should just read the description from Helloween about the song. "Fear Of The Fallen" is a fast paced, melodic track done the way only lead singer Andi Deris can do it.
@@mattia777VII - Their Wiki page says Deris only on this track. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helloween_(Helloween_album)
The more I listen to this, the more I want the album!!!
Guitars so hungry and virtuoso ! Deris singing with high pasion and fever, drums omnipresent, and Kiske and Hansen singing too! More can not be asked !
Literally on repeat all day!
OMG!!! Kiske and Deris!! This is nuts!!!
Arrepiante ! Estão aqui 30 anos de Metal Melódico numa grande homenagem a todos nós fãs e apaixonados por boa música ! A banda do momento !!
incrível como combinou os vocais do Kiske e o Deris.
Cara o álbum promete ser sensacional. As músicas liberadas estão demais. Provavelmente o melhor álbum do ano, se seguir na linha do que foi mostrado.
@@ovfilho Calma lá, Fortitude da Gojira também foi lançado esse ano kkk Mas eu também estou animado.
@@atilacarvalho3736 concordo total !!! Perdemos um tempão com a eterna treta Deris x Kiske , qdo o incrível são os DOIS JUNTOS !!! Admito , prefiro o Deris , acho muito mais versátil ...mas tô curtindo pra caramba os dois juntos
@@JubaDeMetalAlumínio Gojira Fala sério! Isso é banda? É até uma Blasfémia ao deus Metal tal comparação.
That is in my humble opinion the "Best Song Ever"....and also all of the songs in this absolute MASTERPIECE!!!....This song is perhaphs Helloween best song ever!!!...and that is much to say..of course its my humble opinion of a fan that watched them born!!...what a priviledge......this song has a profound message that can be life changing!......thanks for existing Helloween!!!
Best part is when Kiske sings "We rise when you're calling" and "The voice in the choir".
Best part of Andi - decide))🎃
La complementación entre Kiske&Deris es magistral!!! Sigo a #Helloweem hace más de 20 años y juro que espere este momento siempre. Todas sus épocas en un solo tema , mágico,épico!!!!! Larga vida a Helloween y Larga vida el heavy metal!!!!
Helloween is power metal!
For me this is most epic song for last 10 years... Helloween FOREVER
Happy Happy Helloween, Helloween, Helloween. Happy Happy Helloween, Wowowo..
Obrigado, Helloween, por nos dar este álbum que é uma obra-prima.
Cadê, já ouviu o restante das músicas???
@@PedroHenriquePeagaH já soltaram 3 músicas. "Skyfall", "Fear of the Fallen" e "Indestructble"
I miss Andi Deris so much on new album. This is my favourite song on Helloween 2021 album. After all. Andi were the voice of Helloween for 30 years and his rock voice is always lovely.
Amazing!!!!!! Sounds like they had a big fun in composing the new album….they are back at the top of their shape….Deris and Kiske are somehow at their top….Weiki and Hansen in full power….the past formula thrown in the future….hauntingly beautiful!
I know one thing I've decided.... i'm buying this album and the volume will be cranked all the way up to eleven, fear of the fallen out with the neighbours!
Me fascina la combinación de voces de Andi y Kiste.
Más que satisfecha con esta canción
Have I died and gone to heaven? Deris rocks, and having Kiske back has NOT disappointed. Saw them in Germany for Pumpkins United and can't wait to see them in 2022!!! This is perfection!
That IS POWER!!!!!!!! Kiske we missed you!!!!
Deris's and Kiske's voices are absolutely fascinating. The guitar is also very good
This song give me goosebumps .Great song!!!!Pumpkin 4ever!!!
Oh lord... album of the year is coming!
this album is a galactic phenomenon greating from Morocco we will all remember one day that we were here waiting this human masterpiece 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Excellent, finally we come full circle for Helloween !!!
Who was born , to be a Master, will always remain a Master !!!
I'm so incredibly happy that Kai and Michi are back. I honestly love Andi, and I love Sascha's shredding, but after My God-given Right (the album as a whole) I had this strange feeling that it lacked something, a spark, like there was some fatigue going on and the guys were out of inspiration and new interesting ideas. And when I first heard Skyfall, I was like - oh my God, they're back. They're epic and awesome and they do epic and awesome, 7 minute long music videos, and Skyfall is supposed to be even longer on the LP. I am so happy and I wish they will stay together for longer so that we can get more and more awesome pumpkin stuff!
I totally agree with you. Helloween is my favorite band for the last 25 years. And I was introduced to them with Andi Deris. I think that in My God given right, they were forced to release it faster, after Straight out of hell. That's why it felt as a very poor record. Probably the most uninspiring record in the Andi Deris era. But after 2015 they took their time, Michael and Kai came back, they tried new stuff and they have reinvented themselves.
@@Priest1908 I was a little let down by Sky Fall; I think this album was rushed, as well, I'm hoping the rest of the album is more in the spirit of the Keeper albums; with the funny songs, and the buoyant German humor, which typically permeates Deris' vox. This feels, unfortunately, like a half-measure; trying to, not duplicate, but emulate what Paeth/Tobi did, and much of the other stuff Kiske did with Somerville, and Lande, and; I haven't been shown yet that the material is 'genuine,' in the sense that; it sounds like Kai is only there for marketing reasons; that he's holding back his good material for another Gamma Ray album. On the other hand, my experience over the past ~22 years of absolutely loving this band has usually indicated that the singles released, are usually the most uninteresting songs on their albums, save for the Rings/Oath albums, which I think might be their best work, or at least on par, with the Keeper Albums, but I'm a big fan of the Dark Ride album, which I felt was unfairly received (lots of great composition, and lyrics there), so my opinion may be a little skewed...
As a musician, of many instruments, and producer myself; the guitar-work displayed thus far, has been par; it sounds over produced; and without me hearing Kai cut through, both vocally, and melodically, it is hard for me to get overly excited about this; I've seen Gamma Ray and Helloween many times, and Kai seemed like he was going through the motions, being a good soldier and friend, on the PU tour. I love Helloween almost exactly as I love Gamma Ray; they both inspire me to reinvent myself, and to just express myself; the summing of these two forces would seem almost too good to be true, and alas, I fear it is.
I don't wish anyone to mistake me; I LOVE THESE GUYS, I think they are the all-timers in heavy metal; not Priest, not Maiden, not Metallica (barff); it's these guys and RJDio at the top of the mountain; I just feel a little disappointed with what I'm hearing; maybe I expected more than this? I really hope there is; but I also want the band(s) to go back to where it/they were, and just have Kiske or Kai guest on a track or two every album, and have Kiske guest on the GR albums, like he already does; sadly, Kiske is no longer able to do full shows, Kai got a new singer for GR; their voices are slipping, and its only downhill from here, so this feels like their doing it FOR US, and not for themselves, which is where I feel the disconnect. I'm sure that both their and GR next albums will ring truer after this episode, so I am just hoping that everything works out, and everyone is still friends, when this is over.
@@matthewmeyers3862 It happened the same to me, till I listened to the full version of Skyfall... Oh my it's so much better. And this one is algo great too
@@matthewmeyers3862 have to somewhat disagree with you about kai but have to agree about skyfall and it is not the song as it sounds like a song from the somewhere out on space Era or PowerPoint it is the sharing of the vocals I think kai and eike freese should have mixed this track at gamma rays studio and should have just had kais vocals exclusively on this track and then live figured out who would sing what.
Part of the reason I say this is because as kai stated in an interview recently was as that kai did not finish writing and arranging skyfall until right before preproduction started those who are familiar with kai and gamma ray know that he is very picky when it comes to his songs and is very detailed. And used to being the only singer and doing his own producing and mixing.
Any way kai stated that he started writing this sing but it was incomplete and he tried to finish up other tracks that were incomplete gamma ray demos like pumpkins united was originally but when he tried working on the other tracks they did not come out the way he wanted so he kept working on skyfall until he got the track finished, the issue I think with this track and this album as whole is their were too many producers involved.
Charlie bierfiend is okay as he also worked with kai but adding Denis ward into the mix and recording at 3 different studios was crazy just because nuclear blast wanted them too. And then taking it to new York and transfering everything from a digital mix back to analog and mixing it again on analog mixing boards was totally unnecessary.
I think they should of recorded everything between misuano which is andis studio and kais chameleon studio with the mixing done at chameleon and the bulk of the recording at kais studio with kai producing and eike freese doing the mixing with maybe Charlie bierfiend helping with the final mix at kais studio like was done on the track pumpkins united.
Holy fucking shit! Andi went full berserker in this one! What a great song! This album is gonna be huuuuge!
I was the same!😃👍🎸
I'm crying, dude, what a time to be alive, even with all the bad stuff going on in the world, this is a light shining in the cosmos, I can't find words to describe what I feel with all this new music you guys are giving us... my heart is pounding so hard right now...
@Bernt Sunde totally, and it's so powerful and emotional to know it while listening to this song! :)
I feel you, man. I’ve listened to this song so many times. It gives me life.
Ya tienes el leak del álbum completo?
@@andrescarrasco1248 no we, cruza jaja
@@LuisSantiagoDiazPfeil no tengo :( te preguntaba si tú tenías ya quiero ese disco CARAJO
Helloween, la mejor banda de Power Metal de la historia. Hicieron popular el género y acá están, 30 años despues, a punto de sacar un disco tremendo. Ya no es sólo que se reunieron con los antigüos miembros, realmente parece que trabajaron mucho en este album. Unos genios.
¿Has escuchado Edguy?
Ellos no hicieron popular nada, ellos simplemente querían tocar y perfeccionar el estilo
Su intención nunca fue ser populares
@@channel5980 Si claro, muy buena banda tambien
Exactly! Helloween is the GREATEST Power Metal band in history!!! And also the FIRST!!! 🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻
I adore the interplay between the singers - after so long, this reunion is going to produce the best album yet!
Really, really, REALLY love how Kiske and Deris sound together. I worried it'd be awkward but they've clearly put a lot into figuring out how to make their voices work with each other. Can't wait for this record.
And Kai, too.
I really love Helloween's song like this..!
Soul of Andy derris
So good, so fookin good. The collaboration between Andi & Michi with Kai in the mix, it´s just phenomenal stuff. If rest of the album is in the same level as this and Skyfall, then we´re about to witness something magical. Well, it´s been good +35 years so far and I have a feeling, that it´s just gonna get better.
masterpiece! i love when the same song has variations of intensity, voices and times
Marvelous!!
This song is like a Delorean and transported me back to 1988, driving around in my car with Keeper Of The Seven Keys on cassette blaring on a daily basis. Amazing.
Dude, this song is epic, a masterpiece.
Here comes the feeeeear of the fallen
We riiiiiiiiiiiise when you’re calling
A light in the niiiiiiiiight
We’re flaaaaaaame in the fire
The vooooooice in the choir
We’re always nearbyyyyy…..
Thank you guys for this divine and wonderful gift 🤘🏼🔥
An outstanding Voice of Mr. Deris, mixed with Mr. Kiske sound awesome! , congratulations for another great Song , up the Pumpkins 🎃🤘🏽🎃🤘🏽🎃🤘🏽
Great song! What a beautiful moment to be a Helloween fan… 🎸🔥☄️
Now that we've heard an amazing contribution by Hansen I'm excited to hear what Weiki will give us. He always composes majestic anthems!
What amazing songs with even greater lyrics, some will understand the message many won’t, but I am positive a true metal fan will get it since this is the true spirit of Metal
For me this is the best song in this album!!
Amazing!!
I agree. It goes pretty high on their whole discography.
Amazing...it has it all!!
Tempo changes
Speed
Two Singers...
Kick ass solos...
Красавчики!!! Когда делить нечего и любишь и работаешь в любимой Тыковке!!! Два солиста красавца!!! Они все теже мальчики!!! Люблю вас ребята!!!

Man I melt when I hear that vocal color of Andi. It can turn any lyric into... sentimental boulevard
I like a lot this track, really hard guitar solo, but wonderful, BRAVO Sascha...Andi Deris the best!!
Nothing can describe the feeling of have been watched this legends together alive (twice)..and now this masterpiece. Helloween is aging amazingly well.
