back on board

The only other Helloween CDs that I own are the Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt. 1 and 2. I had heard other stuff, but not really gotten into it. For some reason I heard this one and it was catchy and memorable. I was probably in the mood for some power metal to mix in with all the death and thrash metal. This is a good cd.

Helloween - 'Rabbit Don't Come Easy' (Nulcear Blast)

After the band's last CD had a very limited number release here in the states,I don't think fans or even the band itself was exactly sure about the future of domestic Helloween releases.To everyone's delight,'Rabbit...' turned out to be a decent effort.Beat that!Certainly no 'Keeper Of The Seven Keys',but still worth seeking out a copy of.A couple of tracks that I personally thought stood out were "Open Your Life","Never Be A Star" and "Don't Stop Being Crazy".So nice to see this German heavy metal band still in existence.Hadn't seen them play live since the very first Mtv's Headbanger's Ball trek.Anyone else remember that?Line-up:Andi Deris-vocals,Michael Weikath-guitar,Markus Grosskopf-bass and Motorhead's Mickey Dee on drums.I may be a bit off about this.I always thought Helloween was a five piece.Should appeal to fans of Mercyful Fate,C.O.C.,Sabbat and Annihilator.

It made me a believer

I was never much of a Helloween fan I must admit. But it all changed when a friend recommended that I buy this CD. Its awesome. My favorites are "Just a Little Sign" and "Don't stop being crazy". If you like Judas Priest type metal, give this CD a chance.
