In other news, HELLOWEEN has issued the following update:

"The second part of the Hellish Rock Tour started into the new year with two double show in the French capital Paris. Added to the in advance sold-out concert in the Elysee Montmartre on January 6th the concert on January 5th has almost been sold out and presented the three bands — AXXIS, GAMMA RAY and the headliners HELLOWEEN in a great shape. The package went on to Tilburg in the Netherlands and has performed in the 013. A perfect performance of all the three bands in the legendary London concert hall Shepherds Bush Empire has definitely been the first highlight of the second leg of the tour. Following a performance in the Hof Ter Lo venue in Antwerp/Belgium, the bands returned to Germany and performed together with WITHIN TEMPTATION, PARADISE LOST and EPICA on the second Knock Out Festival in Karlsruhe. Next on the plan is Oberhausen in Germany. From there the three bands will leave to Spain and play five concerts in Spain which will close the European part of the tour."

HELLOWEEN's new album, "Gambling with the Devil", consists of eleven songs (plus an intro, spoken by SAXON's Biff Byford) with a total playing time of 57 minutes and 40 seconds. For their many faithful fans, there is also a limited first edition (40,000 units in a digipak with an embossed and stamped slipcase, which was released in Europe, and 10,000 units in a jewel case in the U.S.) with a bonus CD featuring two extra tracks, the video for the first single "As Long As I Fall", and a "making-of" of the video, including interview sequences.
