Helloween Are Back with a New Album: Giants & Monsters!

Germany’s legendary power metal force Helloween are making a big comeback: On August 29, 2025, the band will release their brand-new studio album Giants & Monsters – their first full-length in four years.

With this release, Helloween push their trademark sound even further. The album is packed with rich detail, bold production, and creative experimentation. For example, drummer Dani Löble recorded every track using three different drum kits – just to find the perfect vibe for each song.

The band’s chemistry has never been stronger:

“What keeps motivating us is the fact that we’re extremely different. It generates creative energy,” says guitarist Michael Weikath.

“We try not to take ourselves and everything around us too seriously.” adds Kai Hansen.

And vocalist Andi Deris puts it simply:“In the end, we’re just seven guys who want to make music and enjoy the incomparable force that arises when we’re together. HELLOWEEN is way more powerful than the sum of its parts.”

First Single: "This Is Tokyo"

Right alongside the pre-order launch, Helloween have dropped the first single from the album: "This Is Tokyo" – a stadium anthem complete with a music video paying visual tribute to Japan.

The track is especially personal for Andi Deris:“I’ve always wanted to write this song. Japan plays a special role in my life because I had my first big successes there. I wanted to create a tribute to Japan for a while now and finally found the right lyrics. Because ‘Tokyo’ sounds better than ‘Japan,’ the city stands for a whole country that is very important to me.”
