Album Review
Influenced by Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Helloween specialized in blistering yet melodic heavy metal with a strong gothic orientation. On Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. 1 (arguably Helloween's best album), lead vocalist Michael Kiske has no problem singing in a high, ear-splitting pitch — often demonstrating just how great an impact Rob Halford has had on him. Although Helloween was never in a class with either Priest or Maiden, this very conceptual album is competent, enjoyable, and generally well done. There are no hormone-driven odes to women in tight dresses (a recurring theme in metal and hard rock) on Keeper; from "Future World" to "Twilight of the Gods," Helloween sticks to the type of gothic, fantasy-oriented lyrics it was known for. Helloween's contributions to metal were never outstanding, but as Keeper showcases, the band did have its moment. [The Japanese version included a bonus track.]
Customer Reviews
Greatest Power Metal Album EVER.
This album is simply amazing. The only bonus tracks that are really worth it are Victim of Fate and Starlight. Buy the WHOLE album. Not just 1 or 2 songs. I'd say the best songs are... oh wait... the whole album is great (except Initiation cause thats an intro song.) 5/5.
Lost Classic!
This was one of my favorite albums as a kid and is now a forgotton masterpiece. Anyone into hard rock will love this; its like one long tale that rocks from beginning to end, though there is a bit of narration, which is actually very cool anyway if you are able to listen and place yourself in the world this twisted fairy tale describes....... The story builds as the album progresses and blazing medieval guitar riffs engulf you as you are overwhelmed by the pounding drums. This is a great escape from the redundant metal of todays Metallica and Disturbed (ok well maybe excluding Death MagneticLOL). I also would say that this album likely influenced bands like The Sword and Wolfmother. Though not quite D&D metal, Helloween is a very cool band that promises to deliver raw power that rocks out hard.
Like German Iron Maiden to boot
While I don't care for the remixes on this album Victim of Fate is a nice bonus track but the original tracks are just grand. I wish I had a mirror to see my expression the first time listening to Initiation going quickly into Im Alive. A Little time is my least favorite track (Kiske can sing well but he is not the best songwriter). Twilight of The Gods really gets your heart pounding where the last one failed but the slow pace with A Tale That Wasn't Right shows the more great points to Kiske's vocal power. Future World just kinda goes without saying and is a staple classic song of the band. The Strong point though is Hansens epic masterpiece Halloween. Kiske shines through vocally on this but the major selling point of this song is the slash dueling and rather impressive guitar work between Kai Hansen and fellow Helloween Guitarist Michael Weikath. Before you go out and get any of that Judas Priest or Scorpions I recommend giving Helloween a start beginning with this album.
