Giants & Monsters Deluxe Edition [Limited Production] [2CD] - Helloween

Heavy metal legends Helloween deliver their 17th studio album with Giants & Monsters, presented here in a limited-production deluxe two-CD set. This release is the band's second full-length effort created by their reunited seven-member lineup, featuring returning icons Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske. Building on the massive success of their 2021 self-titled record, the band offers a variety-rich sound filled with melodic power metal riffs, nostalgic choruses, and dynamic vocal duets.

Produced by Charlie Bauerfeind and Dennis Ward, the album was mixed at Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands. A key highlight of this release is the single This Is Tokyo, a deeply personal song written by vocalist Andi Deris as a tribute to Japan, the country that has felt like a second home to him since his early days with Pink Cream 69. The main disc opens with Giants On The Run and runs ten tracks deep, including Savior Of The World, We Can Be Gods, Universe (Gravity For Hearts), Hand Of God, and the ballad Into The Sun.

The bonus second disc expands the collection with four additional tracks. It features Out Of Control alongside three alternative takes of Into The Sun, including individual solo versions by Andi Deris and Michael Kiske plus an acoustic duet. This brand-new Japanese edition double CD is an essential addition for collectors and power metal enthusiasts worldwide.
