Says guitarist / vocalist, Jimmy…

“Ancient Secrets pertains to our obsession with all things fantastical and cryptic. It’s an abstract title, but these are abstract times. We didn’t wanna make an oi oi punk angst record, although that’s how we started out. We wanted to make something more tongue-in-cheek, more weird.

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.

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...
