Germany's answer to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Helloween took inspiration from the thundering riffage and dark imagery of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and developed a highly influential sound of their own. Gothic themes and soaring screams (courtesy of vocalist Michael Kiske) abound across this avowed metal classic from '87: "I'm Alive," "Twilight of the Gods," "Halloween," "Future World," "A Tale That Wasn't Right" and more.
