HELLOWEEN: New Audio Interview With SASCHA GERSTNER Available

October 14, 2008

Guitarist Sascha Gerstner of the German metal veterans HELLOWEEN was interviewed by All Metal Music on on September 21, 2008 at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City. Listen to the chat below.

HELLOWEEN's twelfth studio album, "Gambling with the Devil", was released in October 2007 via SPV. The regular "Gambling with the Devil" album consisted of eleven songs (plus an intro, spoken by SAXON's Biff Byford) with a total playing time of 57 minutes and 40 seconds. For the band's many faithful fans, there was also a limited first edition (40,000 units in a digipak with an embossed and stamped slipcase 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.

Under the direction of producer Charlie Bauerfeind, HELLOWEEN recorded a total of 16 songs at the Mi Sueno studios in Tenerife. The focal point of this diverse album is a three-part epos consisting of the chapters "The Bells of the Seven Hells", "Falling to Pieces" and "I.M.E.", which represent the ambiguous album title that thematically covers all the songs. "At the end of the day, life is a gamble with the devil," singer Andi Deris explained. The cover artwork was designed by Martin Häusler ("Keeper of the Seven Keys – The Legacy" and "Live on 3 Continents") again.
