Helloween Rabbit Don't Come Easy - Limited Edition Vinyl

“Rabbit Don’t Come Easy” marked an important chapter in the history of Helloween. The album was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (HammerFall, Blind Guardian etc.) and was recorded at the Mi Sueno Studios in Tenerife. Charlie’s energy and experience puts the final crown on this outstanding album.

Before the recordings for “Rabbit Don‘t Come Easy“, there were many rumours about who would replace Roland Grapow (guitars) and Uli Kusch (drums). The band found the very talented Sascha Gerstner as their next guitarist, who wasted no time contributing to the band as he wrote the tracks “Open Your Life”, “Sun 4 The World” and “Listen To The Flies” together with Andi Deris. The band then found Mark Cross as their new drummer, however Mark became ill with the Epstein Barr virus which incapacitated him. Since the band could not delay the recording of the new album, they found Mikkey Dee to play the drums in the studio. Mikkey did an excellent job in the studio for the band. Meanwhile, the band still needed to find a drummer who could join the band full time, and they finally found a guy named Stefan Schwarzmann (formerly of Running Wild and Accept) to take up the position.

“Rabbit Don’t Come Easy” shows the band ’s “happy” side, as opposed to the more dark and mystic “The Dark Ride” album. When listening to “Rabbit Don’t Come Easy” you can feel and experience, the heart & soul that each of the members put into this album
