A press release overview for the titles reads:

"Helloween came together in the early Eighties, formed by members of the two Hamburg bands, Iron Fist and Powerfool. The first line-up, already featuring Michael Weikath (guitar) and Markus Großkopf (bass), was marked from the start by a high level of independence and the unconditional determination to work on the group’s development. Only two years after the band’s foundation, the members signed a recording deal and brought out their first EP. The debut album, Walls Of Jericho, and particularly the two subsequent offerings, Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I and Part II, which sold over 250.000 copies in Germany alone, catapulted the band directly among the elite of hard rock acts. Helloween were a major success, not only in Germany, but also in Japan and the US, and their success story continued unabated despite a number of line-up changes. Their first live recording, Live In The U.K., and Pink Bubbles Go Ape, cut in Denmark with producer Chris Tsangarides at the helm, conclusively proved the high musical standard that the band stood for in those days.

Legal difficulties with their record company, which put the band on ice for several months, proved no more than a temporary set back in the early Nineties, before they continued to keep up their demanding musical standard with Chameleon, followed by another line-up change (vocalist Andi Deris joined Helloween) and the celebration of their triumphal return to the very top of the scene with their seventh album, Master Of The Rings. Their subsequent release, Time Of The Oath, revived Helloween mania in Japan and South America, and the ensuing world tour and High Live, the second live release in the history of Helloween, crowned an era that had earned the musicians worldwide success all along the line.

In 1996, their eighth studio album, Better Than Raw, picked up seamlessly where the triumphal march of the previous years had left off, presenting at once the group’s stylistic development and the justified confidence of the band members who had tried out and courageously realised experimental song structures. Their 2000 album, Metal Juke Box, showed the five musicians from an unusual but by no means less fascinating side, featuring Helloween’s interpretations of memorable rock and pop songs from over thirty years of music history. The Dark Ride, a modern and impressive metal statement of an advanced international standard, came one year later, followed by another personnel change: Sascha Gerstner joined the band, proving himself on Rabbit Don´t Come Easy not only as an accomplished guitarist, but also as a compositional reinforcement. New addition Dani Löble is the perfect man on the drum stool, so Helloween are certainly justified in seeing their latest album, Keeper Of The Seven Keys III – The Legacy, in line with the illustrious tradition of their greatest classics.

The band will release a double live DVD and double live CD in February 2007, filmed during shows in Sofia, Tokyo and Sao Paulo. In Sao Paulo alone, Helloween played in front of over 6000 enthusiastic fans. Alongside the live footage, the double DVD will include lots of exciting bonus material.
