Helloween Dark Ride - Limited Edition Vinyl

After the sensational success of their last album "Better Than Raw" and their very successful support-tour for Iron Maiden, Germany's favourite Metal Band took a longer break, which only was interrupted by the release of the cover album "Metal Jukebox".

This album was the last one that was published by Castle Communications, and due to its success, the band was totally relaxed while looking for a new label. In the end, Nuclear Blast were able to secure a deal, and the band began to work on their new album "The Dark Ride" immediately. Recorded in Teneriffa, at My Sueno Music Studios, the album features a lot of the typical Helloween-trademarks and, rest assured, won't disappoint any fan. Together with producers Roy Z. (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford) and Charlie Bauerfeind the band managed to create an opus which will set the measuring pole for competitors to another level. Although "Better Than Raw" was already surprisingly heavy, Andi Deris (vocals), Michael Weikath (guitars), Roland Grapow (guitars), Markus Grosskopf (bass) and drummer Uli Kusch now managed to deliver their heaviest and most powerful album so far. It's especially remarkable that most of the songs had been written as single-handed attempt and not as a band effort. Therefore, a wide range of stylistic elements were covered, of course, as everyone in the band has their own style of writing songs. Nevertheless, the boys succeeded in creating an album that unmistakeably sounds like Helloween.
