Igniting the band´s 40 year anniversary celebration, HELLOWEEN will re-release their early albums represented by BMG. Remastered by Sascha “Busy” Bühren, mastering engineer of the band´s self titled No 1 album HELLOWEEN from 2021, the albums will contain additional bonus tracks and the original artwork restored.
Says guitarist and founding member Michael Weikath: “It was important for us to present our fans the work of the early days in a contemporary acoustic and visual form. Sascha did an exceptional job and adapted the recordings to today’s quality standards.”
The first batch of albums, released July, 26, 2024 contains some real heavy weights, rightly described as genre-defining milestones:
Walls of Jericho is the debut full-length studio album by the German power metal band, initially released in 1985 . It is the only full length album featuring Kai Hansen as the lead vocalist. On 2 CD´s, this classic also contains the songs of the mini LP from 1985 and several bonus tracks.
Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I is the band´s second studio album, released in 1987. It marks the first appearance of vocalist Michael Kiske and is considered the album that created the genre of European-style power metal.
The band’s third studio album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2 from 1988 was hugely successful worldwide and went gold in Germany. It includes the singles ‘Dr. Stein’ and ‘I Want Out’, the latter remains the band’s best known song until today.
