Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen

#German power metal lords #Helloween are back with their latest album “Giants & Monsters”, dropped recently by Reigning Phoenix Music. We had the pleasure of chatting with longtime drummer Daniel Loble about their creative approach going into this record, the many drum set ups used in the process, and his broader thoughts on metal today - including his reaction to the loss of the Prince of Darkness #OzzyOsbourne - who died a couple of days after this interview was recorded. Check out this interview and then pump up “Giants & Monsters” with the album’s first single, “This Is Tokyo” out now!
