Andi's always had my respect. He literally saved Helloween in their darkest times (1994 & 2000) and "Fear Of The Fallen" proves, once again, how vital he still is for this pioneering band.

[@Fenrir1409]

94-00 is my favorite helloween time. Od course I still enjoying their songs. Helloween is just amazing

[@Doomlink]

Andi is a treasure. Just a great man and a great songwriter.

[@yasminribeiro860]

And VERY handsome❤️❤️❤️

[@johannest3628]

This is just my opinion, but I fell in love with metal listening to Helloween with Kai and Michi. I think Andi is, by far, the worst songwriter in the band, so the fact that Kai has ONE song on a reunion album like this is really pretty sad. Andi has been part of the band for almost three decades, but I prefer what was before him, except for a collection of great Weiki songs over the years, like KWBK and AOTN.

[@Punttipate62]

@@johannest3628 why not just say the full song titles instead of KWBK etc. also deris is definetely a talented songwriter

[@johannest3628]

@@Punttipate62 I figured hardcore Helloween fans would get it, but it's Kings Will Be Kings and All Over The Nations. As far as Andi's songwriting goes let's just agree to disagree.

[@Tigerufoeye]

Looks to me all the wonder around PUMPKINS UNITED is possible due to ANDY. Due to his kindness and selfconfidence - not a single problem to have in band other two leading vocals, no hard rivalry .... it is more about deep friendship. When I see chemistry between Michael and Andy on Stage ............... I like you men - it pushes tears in my eyes. PUMPKINS we are all

[@Priest1908]

The guy who saved our beloved band in order to have this now. The great Andi Deris. By the way I was introduced to Helloween with him so he has a special place in my heart. 🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻

[@davesguitarworld2296]

I have the exact same opinion here buddy. Andy explained it pretty well himself: He's the brutal pilar in the band. I mean let's face it, Fear of the Fallen is the perfect example on how Andi can go full brutal singing like no one else on earth! Long live Helloween!

[@jeanfserrano]

Andi is our holy monster!

[@Luffman123]

i kinda disappointed with the new album, you know what? Andi voices is missing, the bald man took over the stage... f*ck!!

[@davesguitarworld2296]

@@Luffman123 I think we must wait to hear it entirely. I like Andi better, but this is how things will work from now on. Andi wrote must of the album so we are in good hands. Kiske has also grown a lot and is having a humble participation in the band by not trying to get all the attention. Let’s support them, they are the best band in the world. 🤘🏼🎃🔥

[@Luffman123]

@@davesguitarworld2296 I've listened to all songs in this new album.. it can be seen the music is a bit slack to accommodate Kiske's singing type...

[@luctator8956]

I'm so glad that Kiske is back in the band, I feel like this lineup is probably my favorite since the Master Of The Rings era

[@gilbertdrengot]

@@saynotoerrors4355 Yeah with this line-up every real Helloween fan would be happy. Daniel and Sascha are two nice guys but we know Roland and Uli would add a touch of real Power to the band. But at the same time we realize that the most important thing in a band is the connection between bandmates to make the "machine" operate well, and as it seems they have it now!

[@celioazevedoofficial]

I see what it means, Andi Deris is a great composer.

[@emersonvieira2533]

...Can sing high,low,drive,clean and sounds not generic at all!!ANDI DERIS 💪😡🤘♥️

[@fairytalesdied]

18 years ago I heard my first Helloween song with Andi as the front man. From that day until now I always listen to Helloween.

[@GoodFellasPizza08]

Holy shit the new album is out in a week

[@Andre-yq7ce]

We've waited so much for this event. I'm glad i'm still alive to hear this upcoming masterpiece

[@florsch6781]

I think we can all agree that these two have different styles. We got the best of "both worlds" now. But I would never say that Andi cannot sing beautifully. It always depends on the song though. In "Fear of the Fallen" in particular, Andi hit some notes I didn't even expect, lol. Sounds fantastic. They compliment each other so well.

[@JamezP]

he said beautifully to give a contrast between Kiske's clean voice and his brutal raspy one

[@PeterZvenKruspe]

We all love you Andi! You are the SOUL of Helloween! Thank you for existing man!

[@AM-jo2wl]

This song is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!!....life changing song!!!!....thanks for existing Andy and Helloween!!!!

[@deathcruise1036]

It’s seriously incredible what they are accomplishing right now. They have the ability to sing any song from any era exactly how it was originally recorded! If that wasn’t enough, they are able to produce new music that is rivaling the keeper days! I never anticipated an album more than this one!!!

[@ManuelTrevigno]

Even though I know Helloween since the Kiske days, I honestly can say that for me, the best songwritter that Helloween have ever had is Andi Deris.

[@YuriDeryous]

We love you Andi!!! And I bet a lot of fans will agree with me that your voice fits the brutal parts, yes, but it is ALSO beautiful when clean singing! You have an unique timbre, extremely versatile and amazing in any context!

[@undisputedattitude2902]

The best, Andi is a Mastermind and one of the best frontman of the world🎃🤘🔥

I love Andi. He has the most beautiful voice in the world and he is a great songwriter. Thanks for everything you did Andi ❤️😍🤘🏻🎃 Andi, Michael and Kai together are doing wonderful things. I love them so much 🎃🤘🏻😍 Greetings from Italy🇮🇹

[@adriaddayuni6845]

Like kiske says in another interview, that Andi was the savior of Helloween...

[@leandrovr13]

It's so nice to see how both, Michael and Andi, put their ego aside in favor to make the best music to the fans. I just can't wait to see them live on the next tour!

[@brickan2]

The mix on this song is epic. How you changed vocals caused joy to my heart. Great song Andi!

[@Pillowpetrova]

This song literally makes me WEEP with joy every time I hear it. Not even kidding. I’ve seen more than a few comments in the official video saying things like this album has the potential to basically save the world and I have to chuckle when I put it that way, but somehow Fear of the Fallen just lifts me to a level that makes me actually see the world healing to the magic of this song.

[@joshuaschmidinger3993]

Andi deris is the man 😎🤘🎃❤🔥👏 and it takes a man to share the stage with others when he is the reason the band was kept alive...he is such a humble and loving dude. I love Helloween, in all eras and now we have them all together 🎃🤘 HAPPY HAPPY HELLOWEEN, HELLOWEEN HELLOWEEN, HAPPY HAPPY HELLOWEEN WOH OH OH OH!

This album's songs are mostly by Deris and Weikath.....

[@marinhrabric6162]

@@hujanjauh5026 I read an interview with Kiske and he said the reason he doesn't have a single song credit is because they already have strong key songwriters and he wanted to leave it to them. And it's mostly Andi, Hansen and a little bit of Weikath

I know that is just a personal perspective, but Dave Grohl is not even a metal reference like Deris or Dio.

I like both singers Andy and Michael." Andy, you're great, you said it very nicely. You're the perfect gentleman" :-)The song is amazing, of course

[@Deetroiter]

So happy to see all the members putting the music first and to leave any egos behind. What an absolutely legendary band. Big fan of yours from detroit, USA!

[@ScotF2010]

Incredible insight into the song-writing process. I once tried writing songs but found that I was only a "collector of parts", as Andi describes it; I never developed a sense of larger structure. Helloween knew what they were doing when they took on Deris, not just a singer but a top-tier songwriter. Also kudos to the band for supporting so many songwriters. Bands like the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, or even the Beatles show how difficult it is to keep such a band together. I'd like to learn more about what Deris had in mind when he wrote the "Fear of the Fallen" lyrics.

[@gringochucha]

Love this song. That intro really is a beautiful and original progression and the chorus is one of their best yet. Can't wait to hear it live!
