[Thanks to Angelic Storm and Reign for sending in this news exactly at the same time!]
Ahah damn! Talk about timing, either way I'll reference you
Ah well... hehe xD I actually found out about this around 4 hours ago, but couldn't post the news right away cos I had stuff to do around the house. Thanks for the reference.
As for the song... It's brilliant, what can I say? 7 Sinners was a great album, but if this song and "Burning Sun" are anything to go by, this may well turn out to be the best Helloween album with Andi on vocals. Stunning song!
Anyone else start singing "Look away from the sea" after hearing the intro? Sounds like Gates Of Babylon by Rainbow.
I did, yes! Gates... is one of my fave songs of all time, but I think it only goes to show how much of an influence Rainbow had on power metal as a genre. Likewise, Deep Purple... part of the solo section in a new Grave Digger song called God Of Terror sounds very similar to the harmony solo in Burn!

I don't know.... all I know is that Andi wrote the lyrics for the song. I don't know who wrote the music, though it wouldn't surprise me if Weiki had a hand in it! lol
Amazing, this might be one of their finest songs ever. I love the progression, twists and musical turns. Fantastic atmosphere, top-notch vocals, absolutely brilliant vocal lines, etc. The guitar sound and production are also stellar it seems!
