HELSTAR frontman James Rivera has posted the following update online:

“Boy, what a weekend! The birthday wishes are still coming in, although I'm now ready to get back to normal. I'd like to thank everyone for all of my birthday comments and messages. It's those little gifts that make me feel better about getting older! LOL! Thanks to all of you who made the birthday bash shows in Houston and Corpus Christi this past weekend a success and so much fun! It was great to see so many old friends again. The Houston event was extra special since it was also for my late friend and metal sister, Leticia, who was there with us in spirit as we played a live version of the song I wrote for her, ‘The Winds Of Death (Angel of Light)’. I would also like to thank my band members IN SABBATH JUDAS SABBATH for learning this song, which is a product of Killing Machine.

As for Corpus, the promoter Family Tradition Productions who put the show on, are like no other when it comes to making you feel like a King on your birthday! I love you guys! Thank you so much for the memorable time, special gifts and exceptional care you displayed.

The remainder of this year is metal at full throttle for me. Many big things are about to unravel starting with Germany's Keep It True festival next weekend, which will include my debut performance with the band MALICE, plus a special guest appearance with MASTERS OF METAL (featuring members of AGENT STEEL). In June, Helstar will be coming to Austin and Dallas, Texas, as well as several east coast metal markets to continue its onslaught of Chaos! More live appearances are being scheduled for Helstar in late summer to include European festival performances and club shows. Also in June, the new SEVEN WITCHES record Call Upon The Wicked will be released on the 6th via E One Entertainment, in addition to a music video for a song from that album Fields On Fire. Touring for Seven Witches will soon follow - dates to be announced! Killing Machine is also slated for a record release and concerts in the fall!

Love you all and I hope we can all continue to be blessed daily. These days we need all the blessings we can get.”
