Legendary German Rockers, Helloween have released first single / video, ‘Nabataea’, from their brand new album ‘Straight Out of Hell’, set for release on January 21st 2013 via Spinefarm Records.
‘Nabataea’ – a seven minute-plus composition about the legendary kingdom, located in today’s Middle East, where the first real democracy existed over 3000 years ago. The secret Nabatean city, Petra, only discovered last century, is the backdrop for many myths and legends, and here it provides the ideal subject matter for a set of lyrics far removed from the rock ‘n’ roll norm.
On the live front, meanwhile, Helloween will be returning to the road in March 2013 – the first part of a world tour set to kick off in mainland Europe, with Gamma Ray as special guests. The follow-up to the ‘Hellish Rock Tour’ of 2007 / 2008, this extended outing (‘Hellish Rock Part II’) will bring the band to the UK on April 16th for a one-off headline date at the London Forum.
Further UK shows will follow…
