HELLOWEEN frontman Andi Deris is featured in a new video interview with RockNLive.org discussing his forthcoming solo album, Million Dollar Haircuts On Ten Cent Heads, which will be released on November 22nd via earMUSIC:

Andi Deris is a name that stands by itself. Being the lead singer of one of the greatest and most popular heavy metal bands worldwide, HELLOWEEN, there is not much too add when it comes to Andi Deris’ musical achievements. Now, he returns with his first solo album since 1999. Not so much a solo effort in its original sense but recorded in a band envoirement to achieve a real band feeling. Million Dollar Haircuts On Ten Cent Heads will be released on November 22nd via earMUSIC.

The album track, 'Don’t Listen To The Radio (TWOTW 1938)', can be heard below:

The album is now available for pre-order in Germany via Amazon.de as a Standard Edition and a Special Edition.

Watch for North American pre-order information, coming soon.

Written and composed by Andi Deris himself, Million Dollar Haircuts On Ten Cent Heads has a crispy, modern sound to it. The diverse, high class production is snotty, dirty and brutally honest. A healthy mixture of the recent sounding Helloween records combined with Master Of The Rings tradition (Andi´s first Helloween fronted album) and it features some extra ordinary JIMI HENDRIX-like guitar sounds.

Recorded together with his band BAD BANKERS, Andi Deris criticises the grievances of the economic system and its corruption. Although the topic may seem a bit dull, the heavy guitar riffs and Andi Deris’ recognizable voice clearly make a point: “fuck banks, fuck managers, fuck bankers”.

Explains Andi Deris: “Obviously we despise everything around banks, managers and bankers who are clearly responsible for the shit that goes on nowadays (and most certainly in our future), so it felt very good to vocally tell them what we think about them. Sure, therefore it´s highly explicit but hey… who gives a f***. That’s what they deserve... and it helps the music to really kick some ass.” Who would have thought that a bank crisis could result in something like this?
