	INTERVIEW MARKUS
		Markus Yes well I mean this was great we did not know what to expect when we came there back in 1987, we played in Washington DC and its all pretty big and we had this bus driver dressed totally in leather, he was a big fat guy.
		Markus Grosskopf I would say in July, but there are always delays however we are on schedule so it will be done on time and we have to be right on schedule because we will miss the festivals and stuff if we are not.
		Markus Grosskopf When you have all of these problems you cant freak out and you have to deal with it...I mean when you have fights and such and record company disputes you have to deal with it and move on.

		Markus: Yea it ok, I like the album a lot, we had a great time recording it and then we had a pretty successful tour.
		Markus: Well if you listen to the album you will soon realize that there is no lack of creativity, because we even extended the story.

		Shockmachine is a project of Markus Grosskopf of Helloween, and also features ex-Helloween drummer Uli Kusch.
		Shockmachine is a disc for Helloween die-hards who have to own everything from the band members, and is a decent listen every now and then, but otherwise this CD doesn't hold a dime to Markus' main band.

		It was also up to Markus because he has been watching the situation too; maybe a bit closer, but not as long as I. After some time we could only the same thing.
		Luckily enough Markus was around and he carried out all the stuff as far as he could and he dammed the door so the water wouldn't get in.
		Markus has the occasional drop-out or flout during a recording where he goes 'I can't remember everything you know.' He is not getting younger and it is normal, a deterioration as a human being.

	Helloween
		The original line-up consisting of Michael Weikath (Guitars), Markus Grosskopf (Bass), Kai Hansen (Guitars) and Ingo Schwichtenberg (Drums) showed a great measure of independence and an upcoming determination to develop musically.
		Two years after their foundation, the band released three songs on a forward-looking heavy metal sampler, subsequently signed a contract with Noise records and released their first EP.
		The line-up consisting of Deris, Weikath, Grapow, Grosskopf and Kusch got together in 1994 – making practically a new beginning and released the seventh (and in this case by no means unfortunate) Helloween album, “MASTER OF THE RINGS”, which took up where the groups success story had left off.

		His romoured departure from Freedom Call was said to be that he didn't want to play metal anymore, but thank heavens, Helloween took such nonsense out of him =) The songs he's written on the album are easily among the top five and a greater start in a new band seems hard to beat.
		Markus Grosskopf has also started to write songs in a bigger way than before and his contributions really whoops some ass.
		Andi Deris does his best vocal performance ever and overall the album is very short of the slightest weakness.

		(Press Release) Founding members Michael Weikath and Markus Grosskopf along with vocalist Andi Deris are currently interviewing guitarists and drummers in their hunt to replace Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch who are no longer with Helloween.
		After a very successful tour behind The Dark Ride album Michael, Markus and Andi felt quite rightly that the focus of Helloween members must be 100% on Helloween.
		This lack of focus had been affecting the band creatively for some time so now the band will be able to get back on track.

		Probably the most important guest singer of the album is the mysterious Ernie, the one we know as Michael Kiske.
		And it still recalls feelings of hope inside of me, Miki Kiske working with Kai Hansen and Markus Großkopf again.
		The intro was something different, played on a hammond organ I think.
