HELLDORADOS – Announce Cover Artwork and Track List; Album Releases This July, Via Massacre Records
Album release date: 07-13-12 via Massacre Records
With the publication of the cover artwork and the whole track list, Stuttgart’s Sleaze Metal band Helldorados are giving an inside look into their debut album that will be released on July 13th. The internationally known artist and Unesco prize winner Timo Wuerz is responsible for the design.
After just signing a worldwide recording contract with the Traditional Heavy Metal label Massacre Records in March, Helldorades were able to win another high-quality partner: the artist and comic draftsman Timo Wuerz. “We have gotten to know Timo Wuerz by accident at an art and commerce congress. Between all of the geeks he looked more like us,“ claims Helldorados singer Pierre. At the same time they discovered many things they have in common, the love for rock music and art.“Moreover, we both grew up in the same small town. That probably connects“ complements Pierre, smiling. At the age of 14 Timo Wuerz already had his first exhibition, at the age of 20 he published his first album Aaron and Baruch.
Today he lives in Hamburg and is responsible for dozens of comics and books, among others Marvel, and for the creation of films, shows, theme parks, architecture, stamps, toys, posters and CD covers. The works of the Unesco prizewinner can also be seen in international galleries and museums, for example, in the museum of modern art, New York.
HELLDORADOS:
Pierre – Vocals
Chris – Drums
Steve – Guitar
Gunnar – Bass
From February to April Helldorados spent time in the famous Horus Sound Studios in Hannover to record their album. A total of 12 pieces of music were created for the self entitled album. It was produced under the direction of Mirko Hofmann who already took up the four songs strong promotional EP a year ago. ELOY frontman and founder of the Horus Sound Studios, Frank Bornemann, acted as “a godfather”.
The result is musically versatile, somewhere between Metallica, Hardcore Superstar, the old Scorpions and ABBA. The track list reads as follows:
01. IN THE BEGINNING
02. NEVER GONNA STOP
03. YOU LIVE, YOU LEARN, YOU DIE
04. GO TO HELL
05. CHANGES
06. SHOUT OUT
07. HUNTER
08. DOUBLE DEALER
09. GONE
10. TORTURE IS MY NAME
11. GIRLS
12. GOT LAID

I cringe every time I see “ABBA” being named as a musical comparison to this band’s sound. Metal and ABBA… DO NOT MIX!! Metal be thy name. \m/\m/
