Helloween

Helloween is a German power/speed metal band founded in the early 1980s by members of Iron Fist and Powerfool. Helloween are mostly known as one of the pioneering power metal bands.

The band ended up finding an 18-year-old talent from a local Hamburg band Ill Prophecy, named Michael Kiske. With their new lead singer they recorded Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 1, released in 1987, which established Helloween as one of the most successful Heavy Metal bands in Europe. In 1988 Helloween recorded Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II, their best known album featuring the classic line-up. The band achieved even more success around the world, than with “Keeper 1” and things were going extremely well.
