The official video for “Nabataea”, the first single from “Straight Out Of Hell”, the new album from German power metallers HELLOWEEN, can be seen below. The seven minute-plus composition about the legendary kingdom, located in today’s Middle East, where the first real democracy existed over 3000 years ago, develops on several levels, including 3-D animation at motion picture level. The secret Nabatean city, Petra, only discovered last century, is the backdrop for many myths and legends, and here it provides the ideal subject matter for a set of lyrics far removed from the rock ‘n’ roll norm. HELLOWEEN singer Andi Deris was inspired to write the song during a holiday.
