If you go back in time, to the year 1985, you will see a music world where the word "Power Metal" was absent from any metal definition lexicon. It was something unknown. At that time a band called Helloween tried to make its first steps into the music industry.
"Walls Of Jericho" is the first full length album of the band. With its speedy sound, catchy rhythm and Kai Hansen's powerful screams, it is considered to be one of the first albums that gave the spark to light this new eruptive genre of metal, called "Power Metal." Many well known bands of today are still inspired by this album.

The Helloween debut. An album overshadowed by their classics, the Keepers duo. So when you ask people, what were the first and classic metal albums, few recognize this little gem. Even it take me some time to discover it because of that. The other problem is that the production isn't very good. But if you get the remastered album, the problem is fixed. Then, people see Helloween as a power metal band with high pitched vocals. And Kai Hansen nasal vocals are probably not too tolerable. It took me some listens to love his voice. And it's overall much faster than any other Helloween album.

What can I say? This is one of the all time classic metal albums! Genre defining, and stuffed with timeless tunes. xD
Helloween could have split up after this one album, and they'd have still left an awesome legacy. \m/

This song is an absolute stormer of a debut, although the vocals, no matter how much i try to ignore them, annoy the hell out of me. I just don't think his voice fits well with the music, which, by the wa, is brilliantly handled. The riffs are second to none, and the way they swerve in and out of supreme songs such as the anthemic 'Ride the sky', riotous semi-ballad 'victim of fate' and just plain funny 'Gorgar' is very well-balanced. In fact, the only instrument that bugs me is the bass, and that doesn't really bother me, just that it isn't that high in the mix. Nonetheless, fans of heavy metal in general should own this album, and more to the point fans of power metal should play this every day.

This album is a classic! Great to drink to as well 
This album stands out from their other releases because it's the only pure "speed metal" helloween release. I love it. They weren't worth shit after Kai Hansen left IMO.
