On August 15, 2010, Vollmer announced the forthcoming release of two new Helix albums. The first, titled "Smash Hits...Unplugged!" contains acoustic re-recorded versions of Helix hits and a cover of the late Canadian singer James Leroy's "Touch Of Magic". The second album is a compilation called "Running Wild in the 21st Century", containing Helix and Vollmer solo material from 1999–2010, including two unreleased tracks ("The William Tell Overture" and a new unnamed original song.) It was originally scheduled to be released in October 2010 but was delayed until 2011, due to problems getting permission to include the AC/DC cover "It's a Long Way to the Top". It will be replaced by a new original song instead, causing the delay.
