Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Legendary German power metal generators HELLOWEEN have recently finished their Asian tour. The band have posted the following message for their fans:

“Asia, it was unbelievable. 8 shows in 12 days, 3 of which in Tokyo. Plenty of euphoric fans and sold-out venues, delighted journalists, and at the finish 30,000 Indonesian Pumpkinheads at the show @ Kukar Rocking Festival. And then, the whole thing was topped off by an invitation by sultan Haji Adji Salehuddin II of Kutai Kartanegara ing Martadipura of Borneo: After the official ceremony with dance, meal and swords as gifts for the whole band, you could consider it more than enough events for one metal summer. But far from it: In 2013, the expression ‘break’ simply doesn’t exist in the Helloween universe.

So, upon arrival the flight cases are loaded up again, because the festival season is getting off the starting blocks, and Andi, Weiki, Sascha, Markus, Dani, and the live crew have only just begun to warm up! To preheat, here’s a look back on the biggest headliner show in band history at 2011’s legendary Polish Woodstock Festival in front of an incredible half a million people: https://vimeo.com/68862344. Anyone who doesn’t reach at least ‘Hellish Rock Operating Temperature’ with this awesome version of “Where the Sinners Go”, probably really needs to resort to a real ‘Festival Show From Hell’.”

Also the band have posted a photo of bassist Markus Grosskopf where the band claimed that he was released from prison before HELLFEST. As we know our pumpkinheads have a good sense of humour and this photo looks like a joke as well. The photo can be seen below:
