In a move that acknowledges their enduring impact on the power metal genre, German icons HELLOWEEN were recently inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame. The honor was bestowed by the Hall's founder and CEO, Pat Gesualdo, along with Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy, who recently featured in HELLOWEEN's latest music video for their hit 'Best Time'. Garnering more than 1.3 million views since its release in 2022, the video signifies the band's continued relevance in the heavy metal community.
The induction took place amidst the band's performance at New York City's Terminal 5 on May 20th. This marked a notable stop in their North American 'United Forces' tour, where they share the stage with Swedish heavy metal juggernauts HammerFall. Thousands of fans bore witness to this momentous occasion, where the band's contribution to power metal was fittingly recognized.
Pat Gesualdo expressed his pride in inducting HELLOWEEN, citing them as instrumental in establishing power metal's standing in the broader heavy metal community. The sentiment was echoed by the band members, who felt honored to find their names listed alongside the genre's most influential figures. Reflecting on their four-decade career as 'The Ambassadors Of Power And Melodic Metal', the induction serves as a testament to HELLOWEEN's enduring influence and legacy in the world of metal.
Following the previously mentioned run across the United States and Canada, the pump gang have kicked off their personal European summer season this month, which will see them headline Wacken Open Air and many more festivals before the band will continue the “United Forces” touring cycle in Spain, Sweden and Norway and finally arrive in the land of the rising sun, Japan, for two massive performances in September.
