German heavy metal legends Helloween have checked-in from the studio in Hamburg where they are recording their new album. This is the band’s first offering of new material since reuniting with singer Michael Kiske and original guitarist Kai Hansen. The band says this is the same studio where they recorded their ‘90s albums Master Of The Rings, The Time Of The Oath, and Better Than Raw in.

Helloween fans can now revisit the Pumpkins United World Tour every night without even leaving the couch. What is served, is no less than the greatest hits from 30 years and a breakneck trip through the entire Helloween repertoire - a 14 month metal quake. In other words: Clear the ring for the next round of Pumpkins United madness.

With the releases of United Alive & United Alive In Madrid on Nuclear Blast, the band presents stunning audio and visuals of the epic tour.

Every single solo, every spontaneous gesture, and every emotional encore of the Pumpkins United World Tour is evoked and made immortal. Band interviews and plenty of background material included. The artworks for the various formats were once again created by photographer and art designer Martin Hausler, who of course stuffed lots of previously unreleased live images into the 36-page booklet and high end packaging.

United Alive - DVD/Blu-Ray:

The DVD/Blu-Ray United Alive captures the phenomenal sets with recordings from Wacken in front of 75,000 metal heads, 14,000 fans in the Madrid arena, and topped off by the legendary gig at the Espaço das Américas in front of 8,000 fans in São Paulo. In total, there's over three hours of live material in stereo and premium 5.1 surround sound plus a movie compilation with the essentials of the concert’s LED content, all cartoon clips of Seth and Doc, further surprises, and the very personal 30-minute band interview about the past, present, and future.
