But come October 12, the visually captivating German-born international rock idols plan to pay back their fans' dedication -- with interest.

Humanoid, Tokio Hotel's long wished-for third studio album, will be released in October."We worked on this album for more than a year until we had a perfect feeling about the songs and the entire production," says singer Bill Kaulitz.

"We love HUMANOID and hope that it makes it up to the fans for having to wait for so long!" The four musicians, by now established as a global sensation, disappeared into the studio with their long-term producer, David Jost, for several months in order to create an album for the whole world, full of timeless, science fiction inspired tracks.
