It\u2019s an album that enchants long-time fans while opening the door to a whole new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Set for release on August 29, 2025 via <em><strong>Reigning Phoenix Music<\/strong><\/em>, &#8220;<em><strong>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; presents itself from the very title as an album steeped in symbolism and duality. More than 50 minutes of music flow gracefully between light and shadow, between the epic grandeur of the \u201cGiants\u201d, emblems of strength, courage, and perseverance,  and the abyss of the \u201cMonsters,\u201d allegories of inner conflict and insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The record follows the acclaimed &#8220;<em><strong>Skyfall<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; (2021), solidifying an artistic direction that balances melodic experimentation with sheer sonic impact. Once again, Helloween prove their mastery at blending the power of metal with compositional finesse, delivering a layered and cohesive work that speaks equally to the heart and to raw instinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">After writing the defining chapters of Power Metal history with the legendary &#8220;<em><strong>Keeper of the Seven Keys I &amp; II<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;, Helloween have traced an artistic journey rich in evolution, through lineup changes and bold sonic experimentation. The arrival of <strong><em>Andi Deris<\/em><\/strong> in 1994 marked the beginning of a new era, crowned by the triumphant return of <strong><em>Michael Kiske<\/em><\/strong> in 2016, forging a vocal partnership unmatched in today\u2019s metal landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Kiske<\/em><\/strong>, with his soaring, theatrical tone, embodies the celestial side of Helloween\u2019s sound, while <strong><em>Deris <\/em><\/strong>brings its earthly power, gritty, sharp-edged, and emotionally charged. In &#8220;<em><strong>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;, this duality reaches one of its most compelling peaks: the two voices intertwine and complement each other, leading the listener through a sonic journey that ranges from introspective ballads to epic mid-tempos, and further into the fast-paced assaults that define Power Metal. It\u2019s a rare balance, born of decades of experience and a shared vision that continues to evolve without ever losing its coherence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Behind the desk once again is <strong><em>Dennis Ward<\/em><\/strong>, whose balanced approach brings out every element: razor-sharp guitars, a bass brimming with drive, and drums defined in every strike. The mix is crystal clear, with keyboards introduced at just the right moments. The mastering, handled by <strong><em>Jens Bogren<\/em><\/strong>, highlights the dynamics, steering clear of the \u201cwall of sound\u201d compression effect and allowing the album to breathe,  a precious quality in today\u2019s modern metal production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The record opens with &#8220;<em><strong>Giants on the Run<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;, an ambitious, cinematic introduction: over six minutes of progressive build-up, where the band alternates between melodic passages and heavier moments. The dual vocals intertwine with precision, exploiting the contrast between <strong><em>Kiske<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Deris<\/em><\/strong>, while the arrangement gradually intensifies toward a sweeping, choral refrain. A bold choice for an opening track, immediately affirming the album\u2019s mature identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;<em><strong>Savior of the World<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; stands out as one of the album\u2019s most effective cuts: firmly rooted in classic power metal, driven by a straightforward riff, relentless double bass drumming, and clear, energetic vocals. The track feels designed to channel the aesthetics of the band\u2019s golden era, without lapsing into mere nostalgia. The tight interplay between guitars and drums is sharp yet functional, and the melody lingers after just one listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">With &#8220;<em><strong>A Little Is a Little Too Much<\/strong><\/em>&#8220;, the band embraces simplicity: a leaner, more accessible song built on compact writing and an immediate chorus. The vocal lines rest on a rhythmic base that is simple yet carefully balanced, with a clear eye toward radio appeal. The production amplifies its melodic breath without sacrificing instrumental integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;<em><strong>We Can Be Gods<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; broadens the harmonic horizon. Energetic and sustained, with a wide scope, the track relies on a carefully crafted progression between verse and chorus, avoiding unnecessary layering and letting the melodic structure carry the song on its own strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;<em><strong>Into the Sun<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; takes a more accessible path. An intense and evocative ballad, it begins with a delicate piano-and-orchestral arrangement, leaving space for the expressive voices of <strong><em>Deris <\/em><\/strong>and <strong><em>Kiske<\/em><\/strong>. The track unfolds into an introspective atmosphere, paced by an emotional crescendo that peaks in a melodic, captivating chorus, making it one of the most moving moments of the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>This Is Tokyo<\/em><\/strong>\u201d is the first single to introduce the album, one of its most modern-sounding tracks, built on a tight, squared rhythm and an immediate, catchy chorus. The songwriting here leans toward more contemporary coordinates, with recognizable textures that never lose the band\u2019s signature touch. The vocal delivery carries an almost theatrical flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>Universe (Gravity for Hearts)<\/em><\/strong>\u201d is the album\u2019s most ambitious piece, and not by chance, its longest, running over eight minutes. Here the band explores more intricate structures, alternating atmospheric passages with bursts of energy. The dynamics are handled with maturity, and the vocal interplay reaches one of its highest points. It\u2019s a track that demands the listener\u2019s attention, but rewards it generously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">With \u201c<strong><em>Hand of God<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, the band returns to a more concise, straightforward form. The opening riff is razor-sharp, <strong><em>Deris<\/em><\/strong>\u2019 delivery turns grittier, and the overall structure moves with efficiency. It\u2019s one of the less \u201cearthly\u201d and more cerebral tracks on the record,  and it works precisely because of its clarity of intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>Under the Moonlight<\/em><\/strong>\u201d brings the most nostalgic moment of the album. A luminous mid-tempo led by <strong><em>Michael Kiske<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s crystalline, commanding voice, it evokes the band\u2019s classic roots with delicacy while retaining a fresh, uplifting tone. It offers a moment of breathing space and reflection at the album\u2019s core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The record closes with \u201c<strong>Majestic<\/strong>,\u201d an epic track that encapsulates many of the album\u2019s defining elements: wide harmonic progressions, refined instrumental interplay, and a final crescendo with the feel of a collective farewell. The three guitars weave together in a masterful play of subtraction and layering, building toward an impeccable finale: powerful in its cohesion, yet never excessive,  a sonic epic of sophisticated grandeur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Despite the overall high quality, a few moments, particularly certain riffs, lean a little too heavily on nostalgia, to the point of sounding less original. Some instrumental interludes, while technically impressive, occasionally disrupt the narrative flow, creating brief stretches that feel longer than necessary in an album that hardly needs extra pauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Still, &#8220;<em><strong>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; reaffirms Helloween as pillars of Power Metal, masters at uniting the weight of the riff, the craft of melody, and the energy of grand choruses. The vocal interplay between <strong><em>Michael Kiske <\/em><\/strong>and <strong><em>Andi Deris <\/em><\/strong>remains the defining hallmark of the record, making it both a collective and deeply personal experience. Without reinventing the genre, the album delivers genuine emotion and choruses that will echo in the ears of fans, and beyond, for a long time to come.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Helloween_2025_B1140197-5x4_by-Mathias_Bothor-1024x818.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36972\" style=\"width:600px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Helloween_2025_B1140197-5x4_by-Mathias_Bothor-1024x818.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Helloween_2025_B1140197-5x4_by-Mathias_Bothor-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Helloween_2025_B1140197-5x4_by-Mathias_Bothor-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Helloween_2025_B1140197-5x4_by-Mathias_Bothor-810x647.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.heavyworlds.com\/it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Helloween_2025_B1140197-5x4_by-Mathias_Bothor.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>[ITA]<\/em><\/strong> A oltre quattro decenni dal loro debutto, gli <strong><em>Helloween<\/em><\/strong> tornano a dominare la scena del Power Metal con la forza di chi non ha mai smesso di credere nella propria visione artistica. \u201c<strong><em>Giants &amp;Monsters<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, diciassettesimo capitolo discografico della loro carriera, \u00e8 pi\u00f9 di un semplice album: \u00e8 una dichiarazione d\u2019intenti, una sintesi poderosa di esperienza, tecnica e ispirazione.La line-up attuale, composta dai vocalist <strong><em>Michael Kiske<\/em><\/strong> e <strong><em>Andi Deris<\/em><\/strong>, dai chitarristi <strong><em>Kai Hansen<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Michael Weikath<\/em><\/strong> e <strong><em>Sascha Gerstner<\/em><\/strong>, dal bassista <em><strong>Markus Grosskopf<\/strong><\/em> e dal batterista <strong><em>Daniel L\u00f6ble<\/em><\/strong> si muove con maestria tra passato e presente, offrendo una prova di coesione rara anche per formazioni storiche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Ogni traccia dell\u2019album vibra di riff monumentali e cori da arena, mentre le liriche navigano tra mito e introspezione con una maturit\u00e0 che non scade mai nell\u2019autocompiacimento. \u201c<strong><em>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u00e8 la dimostrazione che gli <strong><em>Helloween <\/em><\/strong>non solo hanno ancora qualcosa da dire, ma sanno anche come dirlo, con un linguaggio musicale che si rinnova senza rinnegare le radici. Un\u2019opera che incanta i fan di lungo corso e al tempo stesso spalanca le porte alle nuove generazioni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In uscita il 29 agosto 2025 sotto l\u2019etichetta \u201c<strong><em>Reigning Phoenix Music<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, \u201c<strong><em>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/em><\/strong>\u201d si presenta fin dal titolo come un\u2019opera carica di simbolismo e dualit\u00e0. Oltre 50 minuti di musica che si muovono con eleganza tra luce e ombra, tra l\u2019epica dei \u201c<em>Giganti<\/em>\u201d, emblema di forza, coraggio e perseveranza, e l\u2019abisso dei \u201c<em>Mostri<\/em>\u201d, allegorie delle insicurezze e dei conflitti interiori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">L\u2019album segue il celebrato \u201c<strong><em>Skyfall<\/em><\/strong>\u201d del 2021, consolidando una direzione artistica che trova il suo equilibrio tra sperimentazione melodica e impatto sonoro. Gli <strong><em>Helloween<\/em><\/strong> dimostrano ancora una volta di saper dosare la potenza del metal con la raffinatezza della composizione, offrendo un\u2019opera stratificata e coerente, capace di parlare al cuore e all\u2019istinto in egual misura. Dopo aver scritto le pagine fondamentali del Power Metal con i leggendari \u201c<strong><em>Keeper of the Seven Keys I &amp; II<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, gli <strong><em>Helloween <\/em><\/strong>hanno attraversato una parabola artistica ricca di evoluzioni, tra mutamenti di formazione e audaci sperimentazioni sonore. L\u2019ingresso di <strong><em>Andi Deris <\/em><\/strong>nel 1994 ha segnato l\u2019inizio di una nuova era, culminata con il trionfale ritorno di <strong><em>Michael Kiske <\/em><\/strong>nel 2016, dando vita a una combinazione vocale che oggi non ha eguali nel panorama metal.<strong><em>Kiske<\/em><\/strong>, con il suo timbro arioso e teatrale, incarna la componente celestiale del sound<strong><em>Helloween<\/em><\/strong>, mentre <strong><em>Deris <\/em><\/strong>ne rappresenta la forza terrena, con una grinta tagliente e una ruvidit\u00e0 espressiva che aggiunge profondit\u00e0 emotiva. In \u201c<strong><em>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, questa dualit\u00e0 trova una delle sue espressioni pi\u00f9 mature e affascinanti: le due voci si intrecciano e si completano, guidando l\u2019ascoltatore attraverso un paesaggio sonoro che spazia dalla ballata introspettiva al mid-tempo dal respiro epico, fino a spingersi oltre, con ritmi serrati tipici del Power Metal. Un equilibrio raro, frutto di anni di esperienza e di una visione condivisa che continua a evolversi senza mai perdere coerenza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Alle registrazioni si conferma <strong><em>Dennis Ward<\/em><\/strong>, che con il suo approccio bilanciato valorizza ogni elemento: le chitarre taglienti, il basso grondante di drive, la batteria definita in ogni colpo. Il mix \u00e8 nitido, con le tastiere calate nei momenti giusti. Il mastering affidato a <strong><em>Jens Bogren <\/em><\/strong>esalta la dinamica, evitando l\u2019effetto compressione da \u201cmuro del suono\u201d e permettendo all\u2019album di respirare, aspetto sempre prezioso in un contesto metal moderno. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Il disco si apre con \u201c<strong><em>Giants on the Run\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, apertura ambiziosa e cinematica: oltre sei minuti di costruzione progressive, dove la band alterna passaggi melodici a momenti pi\u00f9 robusti. Le voci si intrecciano con efficacia, sfruttando la complementarit\u00e0 tra <strong><em>Kiske<\/em><\/strong> e <strong><em>Deris<\/em><\/strong>, mentre l\u2019arrangiamento cresce in intensit\u00e0 fino a un ritornello ampio e corale. Una scelta forte come primo brano, che conferma fin da subito l\u2019identit\u00e0 matura dell\u2019album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>Savior of the World<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u00e8 uno dei brani pi\u00f9 efficaci: traccia fortemente ancorata al power metal classico, costruita su un riff diretto, doppia cassa in spinta e un\u2019impostazione vocale limpida ed energica. Il brano sembra pensato per evocare l\u2019estetica dei grandi classici della band, senza per questo risultare derivativo. L\u2019incastro tra chitarre e batteria \u00e8 asciutto ma funzionale, e la melodia rimane in testa sin dal primo ascolto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>A Little Is a Little Too Much<\/em><\/strong>\u201d il gruppo punta sulla semplicit\u00e0: un episodio pi\u00f9 snello e accessibile, caratterizzato da una scrittura compatta e da un ritornello immediato. Le linee vocali si appoggiano su una base ritmica semplice ma ben calibrata, con un occhio di riguardo per l\u2019aspetto radiofonico. La produzione ne esalta il respiro melodico, senza sacrificare la componente strumentale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>We Can Be Gods<\/em><\/strong>\u201d amplia l\u2019orizzonte armonico. Brano energico e sostenuto, dal respiro ampio, che gioca su una progressione ben calibrata tra strofa e ritornello, evitando stratificazioni inutili e lasciando che la struttura melodica regga da sola il peso del brano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>Into the Sun<\/em><\/strong>\u201d ha una matrice pi\u00f9 accessibile. Ballad intensa e suggestiva, che si apre con un delicato arrangiamento di pianoforte orchestrato, lasciando spazio alla voce espressiva di <strong><em>Deris<\/em><\/strong> e <strong><em>Kiske<\/em><\/strong>. Il brano sviluppa un\u2019atmosfera introspettiva, scandita da un crescendo emotivo che culmina in un ritornello melodico e coinvolgente, rendendo questa traccia uno dei momenti pi\u00f9 toccantidell\u2019album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>This Is Tokyo<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u00e8 il primo singolo che presenta l\u2019album, uno degli episodi pi\u00f9 moderni del disco, con una ritmica squadrata e un ritornello immediato ed orecchiabile. La scrittura qui vira verso coordinate pi\u00f9 attuali, sonorit\u00e0 pi\u00f9 riconoscibili, senza per\u00f2 perdere l\u2019impronta della band. L\u2019approccio vocale \u00e8 quasi teatrale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>Universe (Gravity for Hearts)<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u00e8 il brano pi\u00f9 ambizioso, e non a caso il pi\u00f9 lungo, oltre otto minuti, in cui la band esplora soluzioni pi\u00f9 articolate, alternando sezioni atmosferiche a momenti di spinta. Le dinamiche sono gestite con maturit\u00e0, e l\u2019interplay tra le voci trova qui uno dei suoi punti pi\u00f9 alti. Un brano che richiede attenzione, ma che ripaga con intelligenza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Con \u201c<strong><em>Hand of God<\/em><\/strong>\u201d si torna a una forma pi\u00f9 concisa e diretta. Il riff iniziale \u00e8 incisivo, il cantato di <strong><em>Deris<\/em><\/strong> si fa pi\u00f9 ruvido, e la struttura generale si muove con efficienza. \u00c8 uno dei pezzi meno \u201cterreni\u201d e pi\u00f9 mentali del disco, e funziona proprio per la sua chiarezza d\u2019intenti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong><em>Under the Moonlight<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u00e8 invece il momento pi\u00f9 \u201cnostalgico\u201d. Mid-tempo che si apre con un\u2019atmosfera luminosa, in cui <em><strong>Michael Kiske<\/strong><\/em> domina con la sua voce cristallina e potente. La melodia, pur evocando con delicatezza un richiamo alle radici pi\u00f9 classiche della band, mantiene un tono fresco e positivo, offrendo un momento di respiro e riflessione nel cuore dell\u2019album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Chiude il disco \u201c<strong><em>Majestic<\/em><\/strong>\u201d, un brano epico che riassume molti degli elementi dell\u2019album: progressione armonica ampia, interplay strumentale curato, una parte finale in crescendo che ha il sapore del congedo collettivo. Le tre chitarre si intrecciano in un gioco magistrale di sottrazione e costruzione, tessendo un finale impeccabile: potente nella sua coesione, ma mai sopra le righe, un\u2019epopea sonica di raffinata grandezza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Nonostante l\u2019elevata qualit\u00e0 complessiva, qualche passaggio, in particolare qualche riff, risulta eccessivamente nostalgico, al punto da apparire poco originale. Alcuni intermezzi strumentali, sebbene tecnicamente pregevoli, interrompono talvolta il ritmo narrativo, creando piccole lungaggini in un disco che non ha bisogno di pause eccessive. \u201c<strong><em>Giants &amp; Monsters<\/em><\/strong>\u201d conferma gli Helloween come colonne portanti del Power Metal, capaci di unire la potenza dei riff, l\u2019arte delle melodie e l\u2019energia dei cori. La presenza di <strong><em>Michael Kiske<\/em><\/strong> e <strong><em>Andi Deris<\/em><\/strong> in duetto definisce il marchio di fabbrica dell\u2019album, rendendolo un\u2019esperienza corale e personale insieme. Un lavoro che, pur senza stravolgere i canoni del genere, regala emozioni sincere e refrain che resteranno a lungo nelle orecchie dei fans e non solo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":36973,"template":"","class_list":["post-36971","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>[ENG\/ITA] HELLOWEEN - Giants &amp;
