HELLOWEEN Release New Music Video For ‘Best Time’ Feat. ARCH ENEMY’s Alissa White-Gluz
May 27th, 2022

German power metal band Helloween have released a music video for the track ‘Best Time (2022 Remix)’. Created by Martin Häusler and featuring a guest appearence by Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, the clip can be viewed below.

Speaking about the song, guitarist Sascha Gerstner said: “I had an 80s neo noir vibe in my head. The riff originally was a synth riff, which we arranged for guitars later. The wording ‘I will have the best time of my life’ was pretty spontaneous because I had this strong feeling to leave the past behind and to seize the day! Andi [Deris, vocals] instantly loved the idea as well as the refrain and together we created the track as it is now!”

Regarding the video, Alissa White-Gluz stated: “After playing multiple festivals and touring extensively in South America together a few years back, Helloween and I decided to make a fun video to reminisce about the good times while simultaneously planning for many more!”

Helloween issued self-titled 16th full-length studio album on June 18th, 2021 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Drummer Dani Löble commented: “This record is the coronation of the Pumpkins United journey! I have always been fascinated by the different character traits and facets of Helloween’s history. For example the legendary voices of Michi, Andi and Kai. To enjoy them now together on one record, under one flag, is the ultimate Helloween experience.”

The album was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind and Dennis Ward, and recorded in part at H.O.M.E. Studios in Hamburg. Mixing duties fell to Ronald Prent at Valhalla Studios in New York.

Cover artwork was created by Eliran Kantor.
