Helloween, banda alemana de heavy metal, hizo su debut en 1984 en Hamburgo, Alemania. La formación original incluía a Kai Hansen (guitarrista y vocalista), Michael Weikath (guitarrista), Markus Grosskopf (bajista) e Ingo Schwichtenberg (baterista). La combinación de riffs rápidos, estribillos pegajosos y letras épicas definió desde el principio el sonido que se conocería como power metal.
En 1985, Helloween lanzó su primer EP homónimo, rápidamente seguido por su álbum debut completo Walls of Jericho, un hito que posicionó a la banda en el radar del mundo del metal. Su sonido agresivo pero melódico cautivó a una audiencia cada vez mayor y sentó las bases para su futuro éxito.
Pero fue realmente con el lanzamiento de Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I (1987) y Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II (1988) cuando Helloween alcanzó a un público masivo y consolidó su estatus en el panteón del metal. Con la entrada de Michael Kiske como vocalista, estos álbumes mostraron una evolución hacia un sonido más melódico y maduro. Temas emblemáticos como "Future World", "I Want Out" y "Eagle Fly Free" se convirtieron en himnos para los fans del power metal.
Los años siguientes no fueron fáciles para Helloween. La banda enfrentó disputas internas y desafíos legales que culminaron en la salida de Kai Hansen, quien pronto formaría otra banda icónica, Gamma Ray. A pesar de estos conflictos,

There I stood with the sun in my eyes
Dust on my face
My mouth parched and dry
Memories racing
Flashing scenes through my mind
I know what's ahead
Today would be a good day to die
Once I thought I had a golden heart
Once I thought my dreams would never shatter
Now I stand here
Jaded and cold
Epitaph being carved on my tombstone
I would die for you - would you die with me?
No, you can't deny
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
Blaze across the sky
Sun is going down
And there's no tomorrow
Sun is going down
Going down on me
Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Dance with the devil
Sun is going down
For the lonely-hearted
Sun is going down
In a blink of an eye
Sun is going down
On the departed
Laugh at the devil
I would die for you - would you die with me?
Caught in a fight
I was drawn in again
I never thought I'd be betrayed
By my best friend
He lost his life as he went for mine
If this is the end
I want to die with you
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
Blaze across the sky
Sun is going down
And there's no tomorrow
Sun is going down
Going down on me
Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Dance with the devil
Sun is going down
For the lonely-hearted
Sun is going down
In a blink of an eye
Sun is going down
On the departed
Laugh at the devil
I would die for you - would you die with me?
No, you can't deny
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
Blaze across the sky
Sun is going down
And there's no tomorrow
Sun is going down
Going down on me
Sun is going down
No more time to borrow
Dance with the devil
Sun is going down
For the lonely-hearted
Sun is going down
In a blink of an eye
Sun is going down
On the departed
Laugh at the devil
Sun is going down
And there's no tomorrow
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
Sun is going down
I would die for you - would you die with me?
Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
