German power metal legends, Helloween, are gearing up to release their new album, Giants & Monsters, due for release on August 29 via Reigning Phoenix Music.
Leading the charge is the album’s first single, “This Is Tokyo”, accompanied by a visual homage to Japan. The powerful, four-minute anthem features vocalists Andi Deris and Michael Kiske and delivers a chorus designed for stadium sing-alongs.
The song holds personal significance for Deris: “I’ve always wanted to write this song. Japan plays a special role in my life because I had my first big successes there. I wanted to create a tribute to Japan for a while now and finally found the right lyrics. Because ‘Tokyo’ sounds better than ‘Japan’, the city stands for a whole country that is very important to me.”

Giants & Monsters pushes the boundaries of Helloween’s sound, thanks to the instincts of producers Charlie Bauerfeind and Dennis Ward, as well as the band’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Per example, drummer Dani Löble recorded all tracks using three different drum kits to capture the perfect vibe for each song, a testament to their attention to detail and love of experimentation.
The band’s chemistry continues to drive their success.
“What keeps motivating us is the fact that we’re extremely different. It generates creative energy,” says guitarist Michael Weikath.
Kai Hansen adds: “We try not to take ourselves and everything around us too seriously.”
Deris sums it up: “In the end, we’re just seven guys who want to make music and enjoy the incomparable force that arises when we’re together. Helloween is way more powerful than the sum of its parts.”
With Giants & Monsters, Helloween boldly step into their fifth decade, proving once again why they remain one of the most influential and beloved bands in heavy metal.
