Helloween - Discography

The Band

Code:

Helloween is a German power/speed metal band founded in the early 1980s by members of Iron Fist and Powerfool. Helloween is known as one of the pioneering power metal bands.

Helloween’s history dates all the way back to 1978 when Kai Hansen and Piet Sielck formed a band called “Gentry“.  Around 1981 Kai and Piet changed the name of the band to “Second Hell” and recruited drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg and bassist Markus Großkopf who at the time had been playing in a band called “Traumschiff.  In 1982 Piet Sielck leaves Second Hell to become a record producer and sound engineer and the band changes their name to “Iron Fist”.  Michael Weikath of the band Powerfool tries to lure Kai Hansen to join his band, but in the end decides to join Kai’s band Iron Fist.

The original line-up featured Kai Hansen (Vocals/Guitars), Michael Weikath (Guitars), Markus Grosskopf (Bass) and Ingo Schwichtenberg (Drums). In 1984 the band had signed a deal with Noise Records (see 1984 in music) and recorded two songs for a Noise compilation record called Death Metal with bands Hellhammer, Running Wild and Dark Avenger. The two tracks were "Oernst Of Life" by Weikath, and Hansen's "Metal Invaders" which later on was featured in a faster version on the band's first full-length album.

1985 came around and Helloween recorded its first record Helloween, a self-titled EP containing 5 tracks. The EP was successful. During that same year the group recorded and released its first full-length album titled Walls of Jericho which was well-received, with its mixture of speed and melodies redefining heavy metal. (In Fact, WWE Wrestler Chris Jericho took his stage name from the album, as well as the name of his signature submission move, Walls Of Jericho). However, during the following tour, it became obvious that Kai had difficulties singing and playing the guitar at the same time. Kai's last recorded performance as the band's lead singer was in 1986 on a single EP titled Judas, which contained the song "Judas" along with some live tracks. After that, Helloween began the search for a new vocalist.

The first choice was to recruit former Tyran' Pace vocalist Ralf Scheepers, who had sung lead for the band on the short "Judas" tour; he declined. The band ended up finding an 18-year-old talent from a local Hamburg band, Ill Prophecy, named Michael Kiske. With their new lead singer they recorded Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 1, released in 1987, which established Helloween as one of the most successful heavy metal bands in Europe. In 1988 Helloween recorded Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II, their best known album featuring the classic line-up. Fortune smiled on the German quintet when MTV put their single "I Want Out" into heavy rotation. Additionally, in support of its "Headbanger's Ball" show, MTV presented the inaugural Headbanger's Ball Tour and invited Helloween as special guests, joining Bay Area thrash-metal band Exodus in support of headliners Anthrax. The band was slotted in the more-prestigious second spot, right before Anthrax's set. On the heels of this exposure to US audiences, the band achieved worldwide success, and things were looking extremely well.

The euphoric highs experienced by the band would quickly lead to one of the darkest periods in its existence. Guitarist Kai Hansen unexpectedly left the band soon after the European leg of the "Keeper 2" tour due to conflicts within the band as well as troubles with record company Noise International, and a growing dissatisfaction with life on tour. He was quickly replaced by former Rampage guitarist Roland Grapow, who finished the rest of the "Keeper 2" tour with the band.
