Helloween update på kommende album
»My God-Given Right«
De tyske power/ speed metaller i Helloween udgiver deres 14 album »My God-Given Right« i slutningen af maj, og markere dermed et imponerende 30 års jubilæum for bandet.
Albummet blev optaget fra oktober 2014 til februar 2015 på Tenerife med producer Charlie Bauerfeind (Blind Guardian, Hammerfall med flere). Coveret er udformet af Martin Häusler (Bon Jovi, Queen, Gotthard) med inspiration fra filmen Day After Tomorrow - og vil i øvrigt også udkomme i en 3D version med tilhørende 3D briller
Martin Häusler fortæller om det særlige 3D cover:
“We tried to built a world of ideas, keeping the ”classical HELLOWEEN“ elements, like the pumpkins on the one hand and a complete new look on the other, just like we did it the years before, working on a HELLOWEEN artwork. A first inspiration came from the album title »My God-Given Right« and some of the song titles like ‘Swing Of A Fallen World’, ‘Lost In America’, ‘Battle´s Won’ etc. During my research I stumbled upon the Blockbuster "Day After Tomorrow" and the idea of just leaving the world to the “pumpkins” was born. The most challenging part of this artwork was to have both, the Limited Edition and the 11" Earbook provided with a 3D-Lenticular-cover (a full 3D cover, visible without 3D glasses). That’s the reason the entire artwork was done 'in one piece', using a 3D program… we did not want one of those 'cheap Lenticular-covers, done by converting a 2d-version', but the best possible real 3D result: So don’t get any other versions – this will be a true collector’s item!”
