The tour, dubed “HELLISH ROCK 2007/2008”, is an all European tour in which the band will tour much of the continent, from London to Bremen to Bucharest etc., basically all the major European venues.
Teaming up with Helloween are fellow power metalists [tag]Gamma Ray[/tag], who’s leader is non other then the ex-Helloween member Kai Hansen , and [tag]Axxis[/tag]. This marks the first time Kai, apart from a few festivals, teams up with his fellow colleagues once more.
