But which is our opinion about the new song?
Our opinion:
Well, “Pumpkins United” rocks big time. It is a hell of a power metal song, with all the trademarks of the teutonic metal legends. It is fast, melodic, with a very interesting structure and great performances from every member. It is amazing to listen again to Helloween with Hansen and Kiske, so inspired and fresh! It’s a song that will make you smile, especially if you take into account that after so many years, the members worked peacefully together, as a strong team. Hell Yeah!
