Their tenth single overall, included on the album ‘Master of the Rings,’ which was released under the new lineup featuring Andi Deris on vocals and Uli Kusch on drums.

While retaining Helloween’s signature blend of melancholy and pop sensibility, the song’s more serious tone helped it win over not only existing fans but also a new audience.

With its dramatic intro, catchy and beautiful melodies, and a flowing twin-lead guitar solo, it showcases Helloween’s appeal from every angle.

It has become a staple of their live shows and stands as a song that symbolizes the band’s ascent to a new stage.

Out for the GloryHelloween

OUT FOR THE GLORY

The opening track of the album “Helloween,” the first to be produced by Helloween as a seven-piece.

Its arrangement fully showcases the luxurious lineup featuring triple vocals and triple lead guitars, and its sense of classic form and exhilarating speed evokes a return to the band’s roots—making it a perfect start to the album fans have long awaited.

The vocal work, with three distinctly different vocalists weaving between lead and chorus parts, is something only the current Helloween could achieve.

It’s a metal number worthy of being called a living legend of German metal, simultaneously conveying both the charm of the good old days and the evolution up to the present.

How Many TearsHelloween

Helloween- How many tears with Michael Kiske

A track from Helloween’s first full-length album, “Walls of Jericho,” whose witch-like, thrilling vocals by Kai Hansen and aggressively arranged, quintessential metal sound will get your adrenaline pumping.

The guitar charging ahead with high-speed palm muting and the drums hammering out a relentless double-bass beat create a powerful impact.

The twin-lead guitar solo first unleashes rapid-fire runs that match the song’s breakneck pace, then shifts in the latter half to soulful, weeping phrases brimming with melancholy—an excellent, almost classical sense of development.

Despite being one of their earliest songs, it remains a staple in their live shows and stands as a signature track from their early period.

Kids Of The CenturyHelloween

HELLOWEEN – Kids Of The Century (Official Music Video)

This is the band’s fifth single, included on the album Pink Bubbles Go Ape, released after the departure of the band’s central figure Kai Hansen and the addition of new guitarist Roland Grapow.

It’s a unique track that showcases Michael Kiske’s pop sensibilities to the fullest, offering song development and approaches that Helloween hadn’t explored before.

Although its sales struggled—partly because it came out during a period when the band was on hiatus—it became a turning point for Helloween, and was even performed on the Pumpkins United Tour, which featured the return of both Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske.

First TimeHelloween

Helloween – First Time

The opening track of the sixth album, Chameleon, which was produced in pursuit of a new musical direction.

It’s a remake of a song by the band composer Michael Weikath belonged to before joining Helloween, and even on an album without the melodic speed metal-leaning tracks that had been their trademark, it’s a number where you can enjoy Helloween’s characteristically catchy melodies.

With hard rock-style riffs and melodies that hold back on the higher registers—elements that differ from Helloween’s earlier work—the unflashy arrangement, if anything, highlights the band’s high level of musicianship, making this a hidden gem.

HalloweenHelloween

Helloween – Halloween (Official HD video)

Among Helloween’s songs, this one is a rarity—a sprawling piece that exceeds 13 minutes and left listeners stunned.

Featured on their first album with Michael Kiske on vocals, Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1, it’s renowned as a masterpiece in metal history, fusing operatic vocals with a progressive song structure.

The arrangement sprinkles Helloween’s signature pop sensibility and beauty throughout the rapidly shifting moods and tempos, making the 13-minute runtime feel thrilling rather than long.

It may be a bit challenging for newcomers to Western metal, but it’s a track you should listen to all the way through at least once.
