Warthur
The true followup to Gambling With the Devil - the anniversary release Unarmed essentially being an acoustic and orchestral tangent - 7 Sinners finds Helloween playing in much the same style as they did on that album, with perhaps a bit more of a consistent atmosphere than that release, the music here being angled towards the darker end of that sound. "Going darker" usually a good way to make metal fans' ears prick up, at least momentarily, but to me 7 Sinners neither represents a solid step up over the somewhat lukewarm Gambling With the Devil nor one of Helloween's occasional serious missteps - it's one more acceptable but inessential album in their catalogue which fans will probably enjoy, but which won't trouble the likes of the Keeper of the Seven Keys albums when it comes to a place in the top tier of Helloween albums.
