Mulatschag: HELLOWEEN – KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS

Gegründet 1984 in Hamburg, wurden HELLOWEEN mit den „Keeper of the seven keys“-Alben Ende der 1980er zu einer der erfolgreichsten Metalbands weltweit. Alongside Switzerland's Celtic Frost and Sweden's Bathory, Germany's Helloween are possibly the most influential heavy metal band to come out of Europe during the '80s. By taking the hard-riffing and minor-key melodies handed down from metal masters like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, and infusing them with the speed and energy introduced by the burgeoning thrash metal movement, Helloween crystallized the sonic ingredients of what is now known as power metal.
