Singles from 7 Sinners
  1. "Are You Metal?"
    Released: 11 October 2010

7 Sinners is the thirteenth studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 2010. A video clip for "Are You Metal?" was released 11 October 2010. The whole album could be heard on Myspace a week before the physical release. For the first time since 2000's The Dark Ride, each song on the album is a solo composition, i.e. each member has written both the music and lyrics to his song with no additional input from any other member. 7 Sinners sold 1,900 copies in its first week of release in the U.S.[1]

Commenting on the album, bassist Markus Grosskopf said:[2]

“ After Unarmed ]we were ready for some real stuff, you know without having discussed what we are going to do everybody had this will to do some very heavy stuff you know. And that's what came out of it [...] I call it my natural born album. The first two tracks we had were "Are You Metal?" and "Where the Sinners Go" and that was kind of the direction we loved so we kind of left it untouched just gave it a heavy sound and put the other songs around it. ”
