Former HELLOWEEN frontman MICHAEL KISKE's website reported last year that Michael will sing on two songs on the new album, Tin Soldiers, by TRICK OR TREAT, a former Italian tribute band to Michael's old band Helloween.

Tin Soldiers will be released in Japan on April 22nd through King Records. You can pre-order a copy at Amazon (Japan), on HMV and Tower Records.

There is still no date for the European release but it has a 90% oposibility of being release the same day through Valery Records and distributed in Europe by Frontiers Records.

Trick Or Treat was formed by Alessandro Conti (Vocals), Luca Cabri (Guitar), Guido Benedetti (Guitar), Leone Villani Conti (Bass) and Mirko Virdis (Drums). The new album will have another guest, Michele Luppi (ex-VISION DIVINE), who will sing on 'Take Your Chance'.

Michael Kiske will sing on 'Hello Moon' and 'Tears Against Your Smile'.

The track listing for the CD is as follows: 'A Night In The Toyshop' - Intro, 'Paper Dragon', 'Take Your Chance', 'Freedom', 'Hello Moon', 'Elevator To The Sky', 'Loser Song', 'Tears Against Your Smile', 'Final Destination', 'Tin Soldiers Pt.1' (Instrumental), 'Tin Soldiers Pt.2'.

Michael Kiske: "I did sing parts in one song, and another one in whole. What I really liked about them is, that they seem to enjoy what they are doing. In German we call it: "Spielfreude"; that's always very uplifting and fresh. No matter how naive the lyrics sometimes may be, as long as a band really is excited about their music, I get a kick out of it. And they seem to be in in with all their heart."
