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 31 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]
The booklet which accompanies the CD contains photos of band members : each one of them is in a position evoking the Seven Deadly Sins.
