Helloween Giants & Monsters , this Friday, the 29th, through Reigning Phoenix Music . Along with the new album, the band released the music video for the track "A Little Is A Little Too Much".
Vocalist Andi Deris commented on the song: “I wanted to write something about the last straw that causes a big flood—a little is too much. The story itself is a bit erotic. It’s about my first experiences as a teenager. You always dream about having sex and finally, when you do, you realize: Okay, it took a second for something you didn’t want to happen at that moment. And here we go: A little is too much, it’s better not to move or not to touch. But ultimately, it’s about all the little things that get out of control with that little bit more, and then it’s a bit too much.”
Guitarist Sascha Gerstner , the mastermind behind the music video with its 90s MTV aesthetic, adds: “Helloween has been known for going against the grain of heavy metal clichés since the 80s. Think of music videos like 'I Want Out' or 'Where The Rain Grows'—it was always about not taking ourselves too seriously. With the 'A Little Is A Little Too Much' music video, we wanted to pursue that spirit and connect the old days with the new era.”
New Helloween album
The 17th studio album from the acclaimed German power metal band promises to be the most versatile and dynamic release of their career. In an interview with TV War , Kai Hansen and Andi Deris explained how the album's name, Giants & Monsters .
The vocalist said: “I turned to the Bible. I said, ‘Okay, look, it’s even written in the Bible.’ There were giants walking the Earth, and who says the giants aren’t inside us? I mean, we are still the giants, and as Kai said, you have to constantly fight against the demons, the monsters in your life. And I thought that was a great metaphor.”
Kai commented: “You could say that the giants are your big ideas, your goals, your objectives. But then come the monsters, the demons you have to fight and the daily struggle. Then you could go to the Anunnaki, the return of the gods from outer space, the giants and so on. I think there's a lot of room for fantasy.”
