Helloween

A German power metal band. They are considered one of the founders of power metal, and their second and third studio albums, Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. 1 and Keeper of the Seven Keys, Pt. 2, are considered masterpieces of the genre. The musicians first performed under this name (Helloween) in 1984. The only members who have remained in the band from that moment to the present are Michael Weikath and Markus Grosskopf. Since 1989, the lineup has changed several times. Due to the change in vocalists, the band's history is usually divided into the "Hansen era" (1984–1986), the "Kiske era" (1987–1993), and the "Deris era" (from 1994 to the present).
