German Power metallers Helloween will release their new album, "7 Sinners", in late October. The CD was recorded at singer Andi Deris' Mi Sueno Studios in Tenerife, Spain. The band wrote more than 20 songs and selected the best Ideas with longtime producer Charlie Bauerfeind.

Helloween bass player Markus Grosskopf previously stated about the band's new material: "For all those out there who found our special best-of [CD] 'Unarmed' to be too smooth and calm, I have a great news: The new album will hit you right in the face! It's gonna be very heavy and contain all Helloween trademarks! Some songs are very powerful and hymnic, others contain the fastest bass-drum patterns our drummer Dani [Löble] ever played, and this Means a lot!"

Helloween will team up with Finnish melodic metallers Stratovarius for a European tour, dubbed "The 7 Sinners World Tour 2010/11 - European Part I", in November/December.

Commented Deris: "We had a great package with Gamma Ray last time , and we are very proud to have Stratovarius with us this time.

"We look forward to have another Power Metal party with our fans all over the planet — see you soon!"
