Keeper of the Seven Keys Parts 1 & 2
Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition combines Keeper Of The Seven Keys (1987) and Keeper Of The Seven Keys, Part II (1988) plus bonus tracks. The ultimate Power Metal albums might seem like a grandiose statement to make today but it goes without saying that both Keepers albums are massively influential throughout the Heavy Metal world and remain among the greatest albums of their era. Predominantly written by lead guitarist Kai Hansen, Keepers Part I is driven along with relentless ferocity by the soaring vocals of Michael Kiske and the entire album is a tour de force of epic proportions and has become a high water mark in the pantheon of power metal. The following year Helloween released Part II in their Keepers legacy which was predominantly written by guitarist Michael Weikath after Hansen"s departure.
