HELSTAR‘s new masterpiece “Vampiro” was released on August 26, via David Ellefson‘s EMP Label group! “Vampiro” is another opus of tales of Dracula and vampires like the band’s all time most acclaimed 1989 release “Nosferatu” (produced and mixed by Bill Metoyer) in the same vein musically with shades of who HELSTAR are today.
