5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, if not THE BEST, Helloween CD ever made., December 21, 2005

This review is from: Walls of Jericho (Audio CD)

This is the foundation where ALL Speed Metal started at.

So many Metal bands were started from this one CD.

The next 2 CDs after this one were the foundations of all Power Metal.

So many Metal bands were started from those 2 CDs as well.

(That's the history that CD).


(The music itself). Kai Hansen's singing is a little off here and there, but the guitar work is outstanding, and this is kick-you-in-your-face and take no prisoners Metal.

Helloween would never be this heavy ever again, even until today.

This was before Michael Kiske came into the band. He would come into the band on the next CD that came after this one.


Also, if you like the "Helloween EP" and "Walls of Jericho" CD, DEFINITELY make sure you get the "Batallions of Fear" CD and "Follow the Blind" CD from Blind_GuardiaN.

Those 2 Blind_GuardiaN CDs are a direct clone / exact replica of the "Helloween EP" and "Walls of Jericho" CD from Helloween. Even Kai Hansen sings some on the "Follow the Blind" CD from Blind_GuardiaN.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helloween at its best, September 27, 2003

This album is very different than anything Helloween has put out ever since. But this, in my opinion is their gem. This is straight up Speed metal, and its damn right amazing. The guitars are so melodic, the bass makes my skin crawl, and the pounding drums just make the whole sound elevate to a next level. On Walls of Jericho, you get to hear Kai Hansen singing his brains out and he does an amazing job at it. "Ride the Sky" is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard, the guitars are really melodic. "reptile" has always been one of my favorites, on the chorus part, you can hear the bass follow Kai's voice, that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up! "Heavy Metal is the law" has got to be the coolest Heavy Metal anthem ever, this song would make even Man O War bow down to them. In short, you have to get this album to understand why so many years after its release, it is still regarded as one of the best speed metal albums ever. (The review on the bottom is also me, only that first I had done it anonymous).

5.0 out of 5 stars HELLOWEEN, ONE HELL OF A CD, November 16, 2005

This review is from: Walls of Jericho (Audio CD)

This debut cd from, in my opinion, Gods of speed metal. Their signer, which is now with gamma ray, delivers very hardcore sounding vocals. Thier bassist is incredible and is backed up with some incredible guitar riffs and duets. Make sure you get this cd with the extra track judas because the song is well worth it. With great songs such as stralight, warrior, gorgar, and judas, this is a must have for your metal collection. Don't be mistaken though, the other songs rock to. You will fall in love with this cd istantly. If you like iron maiden but you also like a little more edge to your music, look no further.
