The singer Michael Kiske was just 19 when they recorded this album.. unbelievable

[@AndE667]

What's even more unbelievable is that he still sounds the same.

Michael Kiske,the Angel's Voice from Heaven!!! Saw him with Helloween on Tour back in 1987,together with Overkill!!! He was just 19 years old (and i'm 16) ^^

It was a long story by helloween.Awesome...one of my favourite heavy metal band in 1990..when i was 16/17

[@neils123]

Oh, man, I haven't listened to this one in forever. But you know what? I still LOVE it. In all it's cheesy glory! Man, classic Helloween was so GREAT!

[@pietrayday9915]

They were a big deal for a couple years back when I was in high school, and seemed like the future of metal at the time, picking up where Iron Maiden had left off,pushing the boundaries on these big, grandiose, elaborate, melodic, epic, speed-metal songs. But then thrash metal seemed to pop up out of nowhere with more of a back-to-basics aesthetic, and Helloween kind of got left behind and fell out of fashion for a generation or two.

[@mikeyb8040]

@@pietrayday9915 shit.. looking back on it, ur right. And the grunge came along and completely fucked everything

[@adameves5970]

This isn't even one of the cheesy ones. Cheesy is like Rise and Fall or Dr. Stein.

[@neils123]

@@adameves5970 Ha ha, I love Dr. Stein!

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

@@pietrayday9915 True. In retrospect, Helloween had everything going for them... they had Maiden-potential as you said. A big reason why they almost disappeared in the early 90s, was their lawsuit problems with Noise Records, which basically froze Helloween from 1989 to 1991. Therefor, they weren't able to continue on the wave they had started with the Keepers. And by the time they had settled stuff with Noise, the metal scene had changed :/

[@Boman-Boys]

Michael Kiske (the singer)has lungs out of this world. Thank you for doing this one👍❤️ This song comes from the part 2 album. Just love your reactions and sense of humor 👍😊 Stay safe n well!!!!❤️🇸🇪

[@gutoabrito]

Agreed, dude! Seems she's travelling on the song! And they seem to have fun, a lot!

[@shaunglancey2144]

I remeber the first time I listened to this song, it took me somewhere...indescribable. I love watching what it does to others on their first time.

[@trumpjr5179]

Long time fan of these guys all the way back to the 80's, I put them right up there with Maiden, talent wise. Eagle Fly Free another great tune.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Helloween is one of the greatest bands ever!! I love all their albums, especially the first three Walls Of Jericho, Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1 and 2. This song is one of their best.

[@Patryn71]

Very good reaction. Helloween is one of the original Power Metal bands. Been a fan of them for a long, long time. With that being said, I'll once again request a song from them that I think you'd really like. #painintheask Helloween - I Want Out

[@mikeyb8040]

Yes yes yes... I could go on but 3 yes's are enough. Nah fuck that,.. YES YES YES. I know Kel would relate to that with her upbringing

[@ccgert]

I WANT OUT!!!

[@MsStecarl]

thats a classic

[@elkardona]

I think they are the first band who made power metal.

[@mikeyb8040]

@@elkardona I consider them the first. Some people think of them as the German Iron Maiden, but they are so much more. IMO Helloween is much better than Maiden.

[@ThrashCommander]

I've been listening to this song for what, almost 2 decades now? It was nice to watch you guys hearing it for the first time, because as much as I'd like to think I'm burnt out on it, it truly is a one of a kind masterpiece among all of Helloweens Masterpieces. I'd recommend checking out the song Halloween, the other long Helloween masterpiece.

[@pablopallone]

This band is the cornerstone of today's power metal....And Michael Kiske´s voice is unique...best power metal band of all times...

[@senjutsuwalrus3814]

#painintheask What you heard was the full version. There are 2 albums Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 (1987) and Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2 (1988). This song is the title track from the 2nd album.

[@project23]

I came here to listen to some Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 songs, sadly just a song from Part 2. Part 1 had more powerful songs. Still fun, but nothing compared to "I'm Alive" or "Twilight of the Gods" (both from Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1).

[@BareThomas84]

Wanna hear what these guys sound like today? Find "Pumpkins United". They've had three different singers in their history. This song is ALL THREE singers. Majesty in music, I declare.

[@wtglb]

Thomas Poehnelt Go to Vimeo, type in Helloween Pumpkins United, I posted several videos there, I was in the front row. The song “Pumpkins United” is the video about 6:25 long 👍🏻

This double album Keeper Of The Seven Keys 1 & 2 is among the greatest masterpiece of all time. A forever classic that helped me get through my teen years. My addiction for metal music kept me away from alcohol and drug abuse.

[@geggs13]

Though Walls of Jericho is a more raw and hardcore metal album leaning to thrash metal, with the opener Ride The Sky and the closer How Many Tears stealing the show, the Keepers are a more safe and entertaining choice for first time Helloween listeners. Both albums have songs with a fantasy story line . Awesome musicians. Way to go guys! Always enjoying your honest reactions!

Rafael Longen whichever version. The Alive in Athens version is also stellar.

[@thecheif00]

I personally prefer the AiA version to the original NotSR version. Not to bash John Greely , I love his style , but I just think smedley's drumming and Matt's singing just compliment the song so so so much . And the fact that its Live Is just that much more insane

[@bigg2988]

@@angryalanrants9574 Btw, Kel'n'Rich are really quite balanced between the "mainstream" and the "underground". I would even say, with the benefit of hindsight, they are leaning towards the lesser known... so your complaint found probably the wrong mark.

Helloween is so cheesy/corny, but so much fun at the same time. Both Keeper albums are power metal staples, and Michael Kiske is the best singer in the genre.

Well done on one more killer reaction video. I can't wait for you to get deeper into power metal and try out some Blind Guardian (maybe "And then there was silence" or "Curse my name") and some Iced Earth ("Dante's inferno" or "Dracula")

I didn't hear stoner or doom metal, you should add that as well 😉. For doom, a lot of Black Sabbath would work, Candlemass is one of the benchmark bands for doom, "If I Ever Die" is one of my favorites from them. For stoner (Black Sabbath works there too), I would recommend Kyuss (the kings of stoner) and The Sword. From Kyuss I would definitely recommend "Whitewater", "Demon Cleaner", "Rodeo", and "Phototropic". From The Sword there is a lot to choose from and they are so rifftastic! I would recommend "Freya", "Lament for the Aurochs", "Mother, Maiden & Crone", the entire Warp Riders album, "Cloak of Feathers", and "The Bees of Spring" (which has a massive ZZ Top feel to it). That's just for starters, LOL. There are tons of great stoner and doom metal bands.
