Editorial Reviews

Beginning their third decade of existence, Helloween are back to conquer the Power Metal world with simply one of the best releases in their career – the spellbinding Keeper Of The Seven Keys – The Legacy!

Having repeatedly reinvented themselves stylistically, without ever losing their trademark sound, is no easy feat. The musicians, Andi Deris (vocals), Michael Weikath (guitar), Markus Großkopf (bass), Sascha Gerstner (guitar) and new addition Dani Löble (drums, ex-Rawhead Rexx), see this latest recording in direct context with their 1987 and 1988 classics, consciously and confidently increasing the expectations of their fans of an doubtlessly unusual studio offering.

Beware – The Legacy!

I wasnt a Helloween diehard fan to begin with, mostly i listened to the metal GODS: "Iron Maiden, Judas Priest"...and followers such as Gamma Ray, Rhapsody, Iced Earth...

I was able to purchase their entire CD collection and listened to all of them....The legacy (Pt. 3) is one of their best acommplishments over the years....If you are familiar with these German heavy-power metal rockers you must have heard the "Walls of Jericho" album, not to mention "Keeper 1 & 2"....It may not be as heavy as these prior albums but they kept up their trademark and have not let the fans down!

Not to mention that there's a digipack version (Both versions are double CDs....and the second CD is not an extra CD with 2 songs like most bonus disks, but a complete album CD with aprox.6-7 songs)

This album is the greatest since Master of the Rings. The songs are powerful, begining with "The King of A 1000 Years." "Invisible Man" is also a masterpiece. I don't know why some people complains about this album. This is really a Legacy of what Helloween is giving us! I recomend this album to all those Helloween's fans out there.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Legacy (Audio CD)

Keepers legacy is sure no keepers 1 & 2 but I pretty much loved it, The metal melody and deris's singing and songwriting all of that was not bad at all. When I first heard KOTSK the legacy I thought deris was going to be singing just the stuff from the classical KOTSK 1 & 2 albums but im glad he wrote his own songs on this album because I think this album would be a waste if thats all he did is just do other peoples songs. I have been a big fan of helloween for a long time and I never gave up on these guys but still I pretty much miss roland grapow and uli kusch after the dark ride and their replacements sascha gerstner and danny lobe were not bad at all but I don't think they can fill in for the stuff roland and uli created in helloween.

Any way good album can't explain much but for new fans I wouldn't recommend that you start here yet, I recommend the dark ride or better than raw first or the 2 classical keeper of the seven key albums 1 & 2 and stay far far away from chameleon and pink bubbles go ape never buy those albums.
