Hi there!
It's Halloween today,
and what would be better suited
than a video about Helloween,
so the metal band Helloween!
Because today I'm talking about
Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1.
This is the band's second album
from 1987.
Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1
is still considered to be one of
the best known and most influential
Power Metal / Melodic Metal / Speed Metal
Albums of all time
and is still serving more or less as a
Genre-blue print.
Personally, the album is extremely important to me,
because it was my first point of contact
with melodic, kitschy, fast metal,
and started my love
for the genre.
My taste in music might have grown
in a completely different direction,
if I hadn't discovered the album in the late 1980s.
generally, Helloween belongs to my all time favorite bands,
at least until the 9th studio album The Dark Ride from the year 2000,
after that, it's...
But anyway, that's not the point today!
Today it's about Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1
and let's get started!
In the background you can already hear initiation,
this is the intro of the CD,
seamlessly integrated into the Opening Track "I'm Alive."
The song is the debut of Michael Kiske,
one of the most famous and legendary Metal singers at all!
That I was so young when I discovered
the album has surely to do with
the fact, that
I can handle this very high pitched singing so well,
which is certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
To this day I am a huge fan of the typical Helloween solos,
fast, very melodic solos.
Helloween at that time
have earned the reputation, that they're playing children's melodies-metal.
And overall, one could say, Helloween is like Iron Maiden on steroids.
Track number 3, A Little Time, is compared to the other songs,
almost a mid-temp track, where Michi Kiske impressively
shows his vocal range.
Helloween also proves that they can be progressive as well,
they prove it with the solo and the very athmospheric intermediate part.
The next track, Twilight of the Gods, is, on the other hand, again a typical
Helloween high-speed children's song.
I'm still getting goose pimples! This is one of my absolute
favourite songs from Helloweeen!
Track 5, A Tale That Wasn't Right,
is a typical, kitschy power ballad,
where Mr. Kiske shows us
that he also masters the low voice registers.
Most metal ballads are getting on my nerves,
but "A Tale That Wasn't Right" is right, really good.
It's probably hitting my very own Kitsch-nerve pretty much.
Oh fuck! That solo! That solo!
Most people most likely know Future World anyway,
it's one of the biggest hits of Helloween ever,
and it serves probably even today
as a 1:1 blueprint for the typical
Melodic Metal single-hit.
And, children's melody solo, lets go!
And that brings us to the inofficial title track of the album, Halloween!
But not with an "E" like the band, but with an "A" like the event,
that's today!
The song lasts 13 minutes and is a unbelievably awesome riff-thunderstorm,
that never gets boring at any second.
You might have thought already,
the album is called Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1,
so there's a Part 2,
that came out a year later, 1988.
In my circle of friends we argue still about it,
which of the title songs of these two albums
is better. "Halloween" on Part 1, or
"Keeper of the Seven Keys" on Part 2.
Which one do you like better?
Write it in the comments below!
And now the intermediate part starts,
where Helloween have really run riot.
It lasts over 7 minutes, so more than half of the song is about
solo and the intermediate parts,
it consists of
countless awesome moments.
There is even an official version of the song,
especially shortened for the music video
to a length of five minutes,
and the video is really worth seeing.
I linked it below.
The final part is also really cool!
I still can't believe
that the boys, when they wrote and played the songs,
just were about 20 years old.
And we're at the outro.
With Follow the Sign, Helloween
are fading out
the Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 Album.
That's it with my album presentation,
that was Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1
from Helloween, from 1987.
Now I would like to know if
you've already known the album
or if you didn't know it?
I hope I was able to bring it closer to you,
in case you didn't know.
How did you like it?
Please write it in the comments below
and also write in the comments
if you liked the video in general.
Should I do more of these
presentations in the future?
or should I just let it go?
If you liked it,
I would be extremely pleased
if you could subscribe to my channel,
if you haven't already done so.
And maybe you can also
spread the word
that there's this humaldo guy
who is making metal videos on YouTube.
Thank you for watching
and see you next time!
Metal, Oida!
