Helloweenilla aikomuksena nauhoittaa uutta musiikkia uudistuneen kokoonpanon voimin

Suomeen marraskuussa Pumpkins United -kiertueen merkeissä saapuva power metallin pioneeri Helloween aikoo nauhoittaa uutta musiikkia bändiin paluun tehneiden Michael Kisken sekä Kai Hansenin kanssa. Yhtyeen kitaristi Michael Weikath on paljastanut tuoreessa Metal Journalin haastattelussa yhtyeellä olevan aikomuksena nauhoittaa ainakin kappaleen verran uutta materiaalia tulevaa kiertuettaan varten. Michael kertoi aiheesta seuraavaa:

”There’s an idea for doing at least one track — at least. Personally, I think we should do more; we should do something like an EP or so. But first of all, we have lots of stuff to run and to check out and to try in order to get the schedule until [the fall] when the first show is going to take place in Mexico City. And to crank all that, if we wanted to come up with one new track as the ’Pumpkins United’, I think there’s going to be lots of work to do. And so what’s in the planning is, for now, just one track.”

Kysyttäessä Michaelilta joko kappale on valmis kertoi hän seuraavaa:

”No, no, no. There’s different levels of readiness for that. And I’m also looking into eventually recording something that I have ideas for what it could be and having a real collaboration on the songwriting for something like that. I think it’s a far way out. From what I know, Michael Kiske is also on the verge of releasing some solo work as something, and so whatever is going to happen, I have no idea how. But surely we are looking for ideas and brainstorming. Maybe if Kai Hansen comes up with a track, maybe that Deris comes up with a track and I come up with a track or that [bassist] Markus [Grosskopf comes up with one], or someone writes something, and in which way that can be combined, or just one track is being chosen that everybody says, ’Okay, this track is so fucking cool, this is so strong, we take this one.’ I have no idea. I don’t know.”
