HELLOWEEN's new album, Straight Out Of Hell, has landed at #97 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling around 4,100 copies in the US in it's first week of release.
Straight Out Of Hell hit #4 in Germany and scored the highest position in band history. As well, the album is #2 in the international album charts in Japan and #4 in Finland.
A statement reads: "Here comes a huge, fireproof THANK YOU from the guys straight from Miami, where they are rocking the 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise with full force, and will surely celebrate the big news from Germany adequately. Helloween will thank each and every one of you loyal Pumpkin-Heads on the world tour, kicking off in Barcelona on February 28."
