Artist Origin: GER
Style: expressive harmonious speed power metal
fundamental recordings of harmonious Teutonic speed/power metal forefathers that started it all are marked by the year 1985: ultra melodic guitar riffing, lightning fast drum patterns and raspy, nasal-like vocals by Kai Hansen followed the band since the very beginnings, and drew the guidelines for metal music power, while youthful energy has been leading to the edge of extremity; recent essential double disk edition with a remastered sound also includes kult debut Helloween MLP in its entirety, rare 12" maxi single track Judas [1986], few remixed, demo and live songs, a surprise track, while booklet is expanded by extensive liner notes, interview and vintage media scraps
