Description

Helloween were formed in Hamburg, Germany, by guitarists Kai Hansen and Michael Weikath, bassist Markus Grosskopf, and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. Originally named Second Hell and then Iron Fist before morphing into Helloween in 1982. The band signed with Germany’s own fledgling Noise International two years later. With Hansen also handling vocals and the bulk of songwriting duties, the quartet recorded its self-titled debut mini-album in early 1985. The full-length Walls Of Jericho and the Judas maxi-single followed the year after, and the media were soon buzzing over the band’s thrash-fueled interpretation of classic heavy metal. Countless fans across Continental Europe were also fast converting to become Helloween fans when they saw the intense of the bands on stage explosively. This rare and limited vinyl were recorded at the Sportsparadies in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on the 6th of June 1986, yes back in those days when Kai Hansen were doing the bands vocals.
