HELLOWEEN have confirmed that work is underway on a new studio album — the first since the landmark reunion lineup that brought together Kai Hansen, Michael Kiske, and Andi Deris produced the self-titled Helloween album in 2021.
The band's manager Weigand confirmed the news in a brief statement, noting that the songwriting phase is currently in progress with contributions from all members. No release window has been indicated, though sources suggest a 2027 arrival is plausible.
The 2021 self-titled reunion record was widely regarded as one of the year's finest power metal albums, capitalizing on the energy of the reunion lineup and the "Pumpkins United" world tour that preceded it. A follow-up with the same personnel has been one of the most anticipated developments in traditional heavy metal ever since.
