Helloween EP: A summary by Tony Webster

"The beginning…….although the band had two songs out on a previous compilation by Noise records called "Death Metal", this was their debut EP. Starlight is regarded as one of Helloween’s trademark classic songs with the famous Intro “Happy Happy Helloween Helloween Helloween…..” which is a line that has been chanted by Helloween audiences around the world over the years. It’s also a song that was later on resung by Michael Kiske on the Future World single. Murderer is another cult favorite and has since been remixed on the band’s “Treasure Chest” compilation. Victim of Fate is a fan favorite and was re-recorded with Michael Kiske singing on the Dr Stein single. The EP marked the beginning of a very successful career!"

Walls of Jericho: A Summary by Tony Webster

Walls of Jericho is considered by many a speed metal masterpiece. It's considered one of the band's most influential albums and in the USA an underground metal classic. Songwriting wise this album leans more towards the thrash genre than the influential Power Metal the band would later create. At the time however, nobody was playing heavy metal with quite the speed and the melody that Helloween was playing. The band in a sense was ahead of it’s time. Songs like Ride The Sky, How Many Tears, Gorgar and Guardians are highly regarded Helloween songs by the fans. Over the years many fans have emailed me telling me how much they loved Heavy Metal Is the Law and it turns out that this song is also a highly regarded Helloween cult classic. Overall Walls of Jericho was a period where the band had begun to reach it’s potential. Who would have ever known that what was about to come after Walls would be two of the most influential metal records ever recorded? I can say this, Walls of Jericho was an influential album in it’s own right, but the best was yet to come…..

Helloween Keeper of The Seven Keys Part 1: A Summary by Tony Webster

The first of two classics, a new direction, a new singer in Michael Kiske, and a better production thanks to the two Tommys (Tommy Hansen and Tommy Newton). The band was taking a big risk in changing their direction as Walls of Jericho was Noise records' biggest selling album to date. However the band's risk would pay off in the end. Keeper 1 was the band’s breakthrough album and is considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time and many magazines at the time hailed Keeper 1 as one of the most important Heavy Metal albums ever recorded. The band sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. Over 100,000 in Germany and they even charted at number 102 in the USA Billboard top 200. Many great things were happening for the band at this point in their career. Helloween played their first tour of the USA which was the Hell On Wheels Tour and featured Helloween, Grim Reaper and Armored Saint. The chemistry between Michael Weikath and Kai Hansen was apparent through their outstanding complex dual guitar harmonies which have since become a Helloween trademark. Michael Kiske’s presence in the band helped them expand their sound with such classics as Halloween, A Tale That Wasn’t Right and Future World. With Keeper of the 7 Keys Part 1, the band cemented their foundation of success for years to come! Also, if you want to hear some cool Michael Kiske versions of old songs. Check out the re-recorded studio versions of Starlight and Victim of Fate both now availiable again on the Keeper of The Seven Keys Part 1 expanded edition. The Kiske version of Starlight was originally a b-side on the Future World single and the Kiske version of Victim of Fate was originally a b-side on the Dr. Stein single.

Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II: Summary by Tony Webster

Anytime I hear "Follow The Sign" which is the last track of Keeper 1 I can't help but want to go and immediately listen to part II. The general consensus is that Keeper 1 has a better sound and production while Keeper 2 has the better songs. To be honest I love both albums equally. The band shows it’s maturity in it’s songwriting and many songs on this album would become a staple in their live set for years to come. Eagle Fly Free, Dr. Stein, I Want Out, and the title track Keeper of The Seven Keys are considered power metal classics. Cult tracks like March of Time show just how epic this album really is, and Rise n Fall shows off the band’s humor. Lots of crazy things went on during this time period. The band played the Donnington Monsters of Rock festival along with Iron Maiden, Kiss, and many other legendary bands, and Tommy Hansen was fired during the production which left Tommy Newton to finish. Also of note is the fact that Dr. Stein, which was originally supposed to be a b-side was added to the album, the song would become one of Helloween’s trademark tracks for the album. The b-side “Livin’ Ain’t No Crime” was actually supposed to be on the album instead. Keeper of The Seven Keys Part II is one of metal’s masterpieces and it’s universally agreed upon that this album is of legendary status and stands on it’s own. This would be the last album to feature Kai Hansen though, as he would leave in December of 1988 and Roland Grapow would join the band to do the Headbanger’s Ball tour in the states with Anthrax and Exodus.

Pink Bubbles Go Ape: A summary by Tony Webster

This album was recorded during a very strange and very stressful time in the band’s career. Due to court cases the band didn’t release this album until 3 years after Keeper 2 came out. Plus they had a different producer. This album was not entirely popular by the fans and didn’t sell very well. Productionwise it’s the worst of any Helloween album. When looking back on it though, the album is good for what it is. New guitarist Roland Grapow wrote three songs and co-wrote one, all are considered by most fans to be the best songs on the album. Mankind, Someone’s Crying, and the fan favorite The Chance were definite highlights of this album. Michael Kiske wrote some great tracks like Kids of The Century and Your Turn. Almost no imput from Michael Weikath appeared on this record except for a couple of tracks, the song Number One and the joke song Heavy Metal Hamsters which of course like Dr. Stein was also meant to be a b-side. Overall this was an album by band with a lot of inner turmoil at the time. Still it turned out quite well despite everything they had dealt with over the last 3 years.

Chameleon: A summary by Tony Webster

Chameleon is an album that has a lot of background to it so this entry may be longer than the others. This was a dark time for the band. They were in huge debt because of their court cases with Noise records, there were severe tensions within the band about what direction to take with the music, Ingo was also getting extremely ill due to his psychological state. The band also faced adversity from their record company EMI who told many vendors not to order the album because it wouldn’t sell. Chameleon was released in 1993 and was very poorly received by fans and critics alike. The irony is that years later the album became accepted by many fans. Songs like Giants, First Time, Music, Step Out of Hell, Windmill and I Believe have become fan favorites over the years. A funny thing is that in past interviews and conversations Michael Kiske, Roland Grapow and Michael Weikath all told me that Chameleon was like a 3 man solo album because each of the songwriter’s songs were completely different from one another. This would also be the last album to feature Michael Kiske as their lead singer and Ingo Scwichtenberg as their drummer. Looking back on it Chameleon is a great album, and people tell me all the time how it shouldn’t have been a Helloween album. I tend to disagree, I think this record was important for the band in many ways and adds to Helloween’s diverse catalog of music……a catalog I would argue is more diverse than most bands let alone metal bands.

Master of The Rings: A summary by Tony Webster

1994 started the rebirth for Helloween as 1993 almost saw their extinction. Some new faces came into the mix for Master of The Rings. A new fiery drummer named Uli Kusch came into the mix, as well as former Pink Cream 69 singer Andi Deris. Andi’s presence revitalized the band not only because he brought fresh song ideas into the band but also a fresh perspective not only musically but personally. The chemistry within the band was again solid and Master of The Rings was released to good reviews. Helloween had revitalized themselves again. The addition of Andi Deris added a different dimension to this band and on this record it shows. Where The Rain Grows, Sole Survivor, Why, Mr. Ego, In The Middle of a Heartbeat and Still We Go are some of the band’s finest moments. Master of The Rings put the band back on track, however as good as this record is, what was about to come would put the band back on the map.
