German power metallers HELLOWEEN have issued the following update:

"After a well-deserved break the Hellish Rock Tour goes on. Helloween and their very special guests GAMMA RAY have landed in Japan today, where the Japanese, Asian and Australian leg of the tour will start tomorrow in Fukuoka. Five more concerts in Japan will follow and the biggest portion of them is almost sold out - the few remaining tickets are available at the box offices. Meanwhile a Special Edition of Helloween’s new album Gambling With The Devil has been released in Japan. Besides a couple of interesting bonus tracks and features it contains a Tour 2007 mini-poster and the unreleased demo version of the single 'As Long As I Fall'."
