Keeper Pt.1" was the first HELLOWEEN-album with Michael Kiske on the vocal helm. The first two earlier releases the self-titled EP in 1985 and "Walls of Jericho" in 1986 were a style resulted form a combination between Metallica and Iron Maiden but it's on this album that their songwriting appears to be progressed and matured, and they take an important step in their musical career and with this album they bring a new genre to the metal scene: POWER METAL.

This album has definitely grown on me, after several times listening, it contains some fantastic songs, especially the mighty epic song Helloween. The problem I find with this album is it's too short, but I do understand it's part 1 of the Keeper of Keys albums, which was simply too long to have been one album, instead was split, it's always been a debate over whether part 1 or 2 is best, I've not heard 2 in full yet so can't compare the two. And I have to say the extended version of Victim of Fate on this album is absolutely stunning!

Written by AndyMetalFreak on 17.06.2021 at 16:53 No such song exists on my original pressing of this fine, fine album. Superior in every way imaginable from the intolerable shitfest that is Part II.

Written by gavdann on 19.06.2021 at 18:34 I'm lucky enough to have the extended version, this is proberbly my favourte Helloween album (so far), slightly ahead of Walls Of Jericho. I will eventually listen to part 2 in full.
