#songoftheday / VIDEO: HELLOWEEN: “BATTLE’S WON” + NEW ALBUM NEWS

HELLOWEEN are back!  With a blast!  On Nucelar Blast!  And their new single, “Battle’s Won,” which you ought to be listening to above, is a tremendous speed metal force to be reckoned with.  You’ve got to love those blazing guitars and monstrous drums.  And Andi Deris sounds as fabulous as ever, his vocals soaring high, full of heavy metal passion.  The song might be about celebrating after a battle is won, but it can serve as fuel for your own battle cry, giving you a serious kick in the ass, sheer auditory motivation.   Hell, I can’t listen to this one without wanting to fist pump along.  I can already imagine how great it will be live.

“Battle’s Won” will be released as a digital download and limited edition 2 track vinyl single on April 24th.  The B-side is called “Lost In America.”

Helloween’s new album, My God-Given Right, will be released on May 29th via Nuclear Blast.  It was recorded from October 2014 through February 2015 at the group’s MiSueno Studio on the isle of Tenerife with producer Charlie Bauerfeind of Gotthard and Hammerfall fame.
