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,

When I hold the key to open heaven's door
I will never make the mistake and give it back
When I hold the key to open my mind before it's too late
I will never give it back
There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before
When I see the light of sun will fade away
And I reveal what I have loved before
It's too late when I can't see the hours I pay
And I reveal what I have loved before
There's just one way I see
The way I think it's right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If it's right I'll stop before
The life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
It's one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you can't see the life around
You'll always walk alone
Look at the drunk man, look into his eyes
See his strong hands
But tomorrow they will tremble cold as ice
See the drunk man, try to ask him why
He will laugh, and tomorrow he will tell you another lie
There's a fight in his head he cannot win
Getting stronger, makes him mad, burning sin
You... you cannot hide
You... you cannot describe your feelings inside
The life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
It's one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you can't see the life around
You'll always walk alone
