The unprecedented worldwide success of multinational British-based power metallers DragonForce has cast an unexpected light upon German speed metal trailblazers Helloween. Perhaps the first band to convincingly combine thrash metal intensity with the melody and majestic imagery of the NWOBHM, and by extension the blueprint upon which DragonForce based their "extreme power metal" style, Helloween were a heavy metal institution, but one that had very much fallen by the wayside upon the departure of classic-era singer Michael Kiske and founder/guitarist Kai Hansen in the mid-'90s. Singer Andi Deris has been a permanent fixture ever since, but the band has found stable lineups difficult to come by, and the quality of material has been equally inconsistent. Following 2005's Keeper of The Seven Keys: The Legacy, on which the band attempted to revive the style of their mid-'80s classics, Gambling with the Devil is a little more calculated. The appearance of Saxon mainstay Biff Byford on the intro track "Crack the Riddle" is all too foreboding, however: for all its enthusiasm, Gambling with the Devil is unbending, inelastic, and indulgent heavy metal. Far from offering something new to the genre, Gambling with the Devil's progressive elements act as a smoke screen for a genuine lack of ideas, typified in no small measure by the dull extended interlude wedged in the middle of otherwise wonderful ballad "Fallen to Pieces." Gambling with the Devil may satisfy the diehards, but new entrants would be well advised to stick to the earlier material. ~ Dave Donnelly

Special Edition

Helloween: Andi Deris (vocals); Michael Weikath, Sascha Gerstner (guitar); Markus Grosskopf (bass guitar); Dani Loble (drums).

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.48) - "If you've ever wondered where European power metal came from, then look no further....[They are] kings of epic, melodic bombast."

5 stars Another killer album from Helloween!
Saw this tour and drove 8 1/2 hours to Mokena, ILL. Met both bands and the show was amazing! This album is full of catchy metal biting mayhem! Why not take the ride and gamble your soul with the devil? Enjoi!

4 stars Back to There best
This album is like being reacquainted with an old friend. This is how I remember Helloween, with their style, speed, & rhythm. Songs that really stood out for me on this album “kill it”, “paint a new world” , “The seven bells of the 7th hell”, “IME” and “dreambound”. And then I was starting to wind down, coming to the end of the album, I was thinking that as the last song, it would be mediocre at best, given that it is the end of the album and all, I was mistaken. The last song, “Heaven tells no lies” comes out of nowhere to give a slap in the face and I believe that this is the reason it was left until last, then you will have this song stuck in your head, long after listening to the album. This album has so many “in-your-face” tracks, and is for all those Helloween fans that have been waiting for the original “style & sound” to return. If you are taking the time to listen to some great Helloween, this one won’t disappoint! If you haven’t heard them before, this is a good album to start with.

4 stars No Gambling With This One!
Well Helloween are back with a new studio record to follow up the last years live one. I have to say this record blows me away. While I enjoyed the last studio record,I was not floored by it and I guess the hype as a "Keeper,pt.3" left expectations a little too high. This time though the band delivers. Everything I want in a Helloween release is here.Great playing,solos,vocals and most of all SONGS!The record is very heavy. A great production adds to the power of the songs. Andi's vocals and melodies are supurb with hooks galore that grab you right away and stay with you. Some highlights for this reveiwer include "Kill It" a heavy speedy power metal song from the band that practically invented the genre!"I.M.E" also a great song with a very catchy chorus. Really the whole album kicks major as,er butt! There are no 10 or11 minute epics this time out as most of the songs are in the 4 to 6 minute range. This record has a very focused and determined feel to it. I might say it is the best Helloween record since "Time Of The Oath"
