one of the great early power metal band
I really got this album for the song halloween but after listening to the whole album it's great they were really one of the great early 80's power metal bands out their better than Armored Saint everything they did in the 80's was good the 90's into the present not so much pick it up or anything from the 80's .
The beginning of a new genre in metal! + Bonus Tracks
By combining influences such as Iron Maiden, Queen, Rainbow and Queensryche, together with fast drumming, high pitched-melodic vocals, catchy and technical riffs with fabulous twin-guitar solos, Helloween achieved to lay the foundations for European power metal, as it is known today. Helloween's best album (together with part II) now EXPANDED, containing 3 must have Bonus Tracks and Remastered; providing an improved sound quality compared to the original release of 1987.
The album begins with an operatic marching type intro which successfully sets the mood of the album. The intro leads nicely into the fast paced "I'm Alive", which carries an optimistic message and includes a memorable chorus, fast drumming, raving guitar solos and twin-guitar harmonies.
The heavy "A Little Time" comes next with another catchy chorus and sound effects, while the melodic mid range vocals sound really emotional and warm.
The power ballad "A Tale that wasn't Right" arrives to slow things down a bit. It's strongest points are the truly emotional vocals and the wonderfully played guitar solo.
"Twilight Of The Gods" continues in the same vain as I'm Alive but contains more thought-out lyrics, better vocals and a chorus that you'll never forget.
The heavy metal anthem "Future World" follows (the most famous of the tracks). It is performed in mid-tempo, includes one of the best twin-guitar solos of the album and vocals varying from low to really high-pitched.
Next comes the true masterpiece of the album "Halloween", an operatic, fast, progressive, melodic power metal hymn raving over 13 minutes (which never gets long nor tiresome). Halloween is surely one of the best metal epics ever. It contains an eerie chorus, tempo changes, varying vocals, choirs and hundreds of guitar riffs, leads and solos.
All of these songs are still considered classics and are also some of the best power metal songs ever written.
But except the captivating music, a new charismatic vocalist, "Michael Kiske", joins the band to take this album to the skies! Influenced by Bruce Dickinson, and Geoff Tate; but equipped with more emotion and power, especially in the high pitched vocal lines, 18 year old Kiske makes this album a MUST HAVE for any metal and hard rock fan. (Kiske is still considered one of the best and most copied vocalists in the heavy metal genre)
Even if you are not a metal fan, this album will please you or even blow you away with the mythical and uplifting atmosphere it creates and the technically proficient orchestration it achieves. (Definitely check out Keeper Of The Seven Keys pt II!!)
Bonus Tracks: Victim Of Fate and Starlight are two truly amazing renditions with Michael Kiske on vocals (originally from the Helloween EP).
Will be loved by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Queensryche, Rainbow. . . fans.
Just listen. . . you'll be amazed!
