Notes
Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I

Markus Grosskopf (Bass)
Kai Hansen (Guitars)
Ingo Schwichtenberg (Drums)
Michael Weikath (Guitars)
Michael Kiske (Vocals)


With Tommy Hansen doing the production the sound gets even better here. However the addition of Michael Kiske helps the band finially find itself. Kai Hansen's songs on this are very well done and his influence dominates this album (while Weiki's songwriting shines on keeper 2). Overall this album is unbelievebly better than Walls Of Jericho. The singing is much improved...but who could expect less from Michael Kiske. The album is the same type of album as Walls only that the songwriting is 10 times better...the guitar playing is better. It is a very flawless album but very short compared to other Helloween releases. Many people feel that after you listen to this one that its mandatory to pop in Keeper 2. Well I am not one to agree with many people on many things but I would agree with that statement : )Info is Below:
