Forged in the early 80's from several Hamburg bands, Helloween began their monumental rise through the metal ranks via several songs released on a Noise Records Death Metal sampler. From here a deal was struck and their first release proper came in the shape of a now rare 5 track mini album in 1985. Later the same year came the album Walls of Jericho, however, it was the addition of vocalist Michael Kiske for the opus Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I that shook the metal world to it's core. This album and the following Keepers II became the albums that would define the Power Metal genre and provide Helloween with the momentum that still resonates to this day. ABOUT THE ALBUM: The addition of powerhouse vocalist Michael Kiske in 1986 took Helloween to a whole new level. The resulting release, Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I can never be overstated in it's contribution to the metal pantheon. This was the album that struck the perfect balance between listenable melody and high-speed assault. Many would try to emulate but few would actually succeed.
