The first step in the cooperation will be the booking of a European tour for Helstar, to take place in May 2009. More than half of the shows have now been confirmed and Intromental will soon announce the dates.

As previously reported, on January 13th, Locomotive Records will release Helstar's fifth studio album, The King Of Hell. This is the first studio album to be released by Helstar in 13 years.
