Helloween’s classic and popular songs

Number OneHelloween

Helloween – Number One

The fifth single, also included on the album Pink Bubbles Go Ape, which features many poppier and more unique tracks than the band’s trademark melodic speed metal numbers.

Written by Michael Weikath, who has crafted songs that have become synonymous with Helloween, this track presents a completely different image for the band with its simple guitar riffs and arrangements.

However, the poppy, catchy melodies are still very much intact, so Helloween fans should find it naturally appealing.

Because it differs from typical “metal sound” tracks, it’s an easy listen even for those new to Western music or metal.

I’m AliveHelloween

Helloween I’m alive Live Wacken

A track included on the album Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1, which set the stage for the legend of Helloween to begin.

Flowing seamlessly from the album’s short opening instrumental “Initiation,” it instantly heightens anticipation for what’s to come.

With Michael Kiske’s soaring vocals fused with a metal sound, this song essentially defined the band’s direction and image.

Its lyrical yet catchy composition—more than just sheer speed—feels timeless, making it the number that introduced Helloween’s appeal to the world.

PushHelloween

Helloween – Push

The song kicks off with an eye-opening, powerful drum phrase and opens with an intense shout.

It’s included on the 8th album, Better Than Raw, released in 1998.

It’s a heavy track that seems to challenge the then-popular loud rock movement.

Mr. TortureHelloween

Helloween – Mr. Torture (With Lyrics)

This is the 19th single, whose color strongly reflects guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch, and which was also included on the album The Dark Ride—the final work for both of them during their tenure in Helloween.

With its distinctive intro, a unison riff that leaves a powerful impact, and a catchy chorus that makes you want to sing along live, it’s a track that preserves Helloween’s essence while signaling new ground.

From complex rhythms to blisteringly technical shred passages, the arrangement hits squarely in the sweet spot for fans of metal numbers.

It’s a groundbreaking metal tune that symbolizes an album considered an outlier in Helloween’s history.

RevelationHelloween

Helloween – Revelation

A track featured on the album “Better Than Raw,” which puts a strong emphasis on power through elements like down-tuned guitar riffs.

Composed by drummer Uli Kusch, it opens with a classical atmosphere featuring twin lead guitars, then develops into a structure that unfolds with tightly locked unison licks so intricate you can’t catch them on a single listen—an approach that really reflects a drummer’s sensibilities.

While the song is characterized by a serious overall theme and rapidly shifting beats, you can of course enjoy the melodious arrangements that are quintessentially Helloween.

It’s a track that could be called a new frontier for Helloween: impactful yet accessible.
