I know there are a lot of Helloween fans here. They're probably my absolute favourite power metal band of all time. I love how they can produce the serious songs and then make songs such as 'Perfect Gentleman'. Like most fans, I perfer the Kiske/Hansen albums to the more recent ones. I think Deris' voice is more suited for a heavy metal band TBH. Though it is still enjoyable to listen to him.

What are your thoughts on this band?

You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
That lock up the seven seas
And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind
Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
To the thone of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold


best refrain ever



yup...i still say what i say almost 10 years ago..kiske/hansen make Helloween a Helloween!!

Here are my all-time Top 10 european / melodic / neoclassical power metal albums - including Helloween's Keeper Of The Seven Keys Pt.1 & Pt.2 => http://metalstorm.ee/users/list.php?list_id=83 - with a little description to each one.

OFF: I have a band called Mandara and I'm the keyboard player. Our style is very similar to these bands but I think it's unique at the same time. We are still recording our first 2 demos - planned to be released around May & August. The 1st one called "Meadow Of Dreams" contains 4 songs - Endless Night Momentary Dawn, Embrace My Dream, Hypocrite Reality and Holy Prophecy. I'll upload some stuff to myspace when we are ready - I hope you will enjoy my/our music!
Sorry for the adv!

My advice would be "Walls Of Jericho", their first album. (which doesn't have Michael Kiske on vocals, but Kai Hansen) Then I'd go for "Keepers: The Legacy", as that has a few long songs like the first 2 Keepers, then "7 Sinners", then "Time Of The Oath". (which all have Andi Deris on vocals) xD

Big fan odf this band and my top 3 albums are

Keeper of the seven keys 1
Keeper of the seven keys 2
Gambling with the devil

Helloween has never disappointed me, every album is a pleasent surprise (maybe except Chameleon). The last decade (2000-2010) is in my opinion the best in Helloween's era.

Chameleon is also a suprise but imo not pleasent but i agree they never have 2 same albums(except keeper I and II)..and last 7 sinners is great..just hope that the next one will be even better

Im a die hard thrash fan... but this, oh yes this band, is such a great power metal band. Its one of the few power metal band that I can listen to anytime
The old and the new. (Yes yes mainly the old but yeah...) I love how they can make me laugh or make me feel like im overwhelmed by happiness and epic-ness, its unlike any other of the genre, they got this emotion and attitude that no other power metal band was able to reproduce

My top songs no order

- Keeper Of The Seven Keys
- Dr. Stein
- Future World
- Eagle Fly Free
- Power
- Mr. Torture
- A Tale That Wasn't Right

I'd listened to their last two albums, "7 Sinners" especially in the last few months at least... I still maintain that "7 Sinners" is one of their absolute best albums. It's just fantastic!

Helloween up to and including Keeper II I still play regularly, even though with Keeper II you could already see them going downhill (or more rpecisely down the path of flowery poer metal)

Keeper II is much better than Keeper I in my humble opinion. If all power flower metal was as good as this album, I'd be a fan of the genre. Sadly, nothing better than both Keepers was released in the last 2 decades.
