EP
Burning Sun
Burning Sun is an EP by the German heavy metal band Helloween, released on 24 October 2012 through Victor.
It arrived between two studio albums, 7 Sinners from 2010 and Straight Out of Hell from 2013, so it sits in the run-up to the latter record. For anyone following the band's story through the late 2000s and early 2010s, it is a small stopgap that shows where they were heading before that next full-length appeared.
