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,

I'm reaching out to find a reason
To find an answer and relief
I see a world so strange and cold
I see a world of rules and thieves
The day you're born you're under pressure
Your life is well prepared my friend
They surely teach you what to think how to behave until the end
All I ever wanted was a little piece of life
In a world where I decide things on my own
All I ever needed was a little piece of hope
And then things are gonna turn the other way
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't good enough for me
And all that I can feel is nothing but sobriety
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't meant or made for me
All that I see is so unreal
And once you're old enough they teach you
Not to be wishful not to care
About the plan that's been already made for you by other hands
But when you fail there's no one out there
To take your hand, to catch your tears
The whole construction we have built
Leaves no such room for blinding fears
All I ever wanted was a little piece of life
In a world where I decide things on my own
All I ever needed was a little piece of hope
And then things are gonna turn the other way
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't good enough for me
And all that I can feel is nothing but sobriety
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't meant or made for me
All that I see is so unreal
I wonder, I wonder if I can handle it all
I wonder, I wonder if I can carry the weight of the world
I'm living in a world of fantasy
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't good enough for me
And all that I can feel is nothing but sobriety
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't meant or made for me
All that I see is so unreal
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't good enough for me
And all that I can feel is nothing but sobriety
I'm living in a world of fantasy
Reality ain't meant or made for me
All that I see is so unreal
