Helloween’s classic and popular songs (1–10)
Eagle Fly FreeHelloween
A signature Helloween track—virtually a byword for German metal since the late 1980s and a song that could be called an invention in its own right.
Its fusion of a classical, melodic atmosphere with an aggressive metal sound went on to profoundly influence many metal bands that debuted afterward.
The beauty of the melodies, twin-lead riffs, commanding bass lines, and high-speed drum beats all serve as highlights.
In addition, the relatively common solos for each part in metal bands are woven in naturally, spotlighting the strengths of each member.
It’s one of Helloween’s most renowned songs, known in tandem with the band’s very name.
PowerHelloween
This is the 13th single and the lead track from their 7th album, The Time of the Oath, which also reached No.
40 on Japan’s Oricon chart.
It’s a number packed with Helloween’s charm, from the lyrical twin lead guitars heard in the intro and guitar solo to the chorus that makes you want to sing along.
The slightly nostalgic melodies and the band’s rich, full sound create a catchiness that only Helloween can deliver.
Blending the bittersweet, German-metal style melodies with pop sensibilities, it’s a metal track I’d recommend even to those who don’t usually listen to Western music.
Pumpkins UnitedHelloween
A song performed by Helloween’s first-ever seven-member lineup, announced during the world tour “Pumpkins United Tour,” which saw the return of Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske to the current roster.
Not only was it a dream collaboration no one could have imagined, but the release of a new track by this lineup delivered shock and emotion to fans around the world.
Packed with the appeal of the three vocalists from both past and present eras, the song is nothing short of a tearjerker—especially for long-time Helloween fans.
It’s also highly recommended for listeners new to Helloween, offering a fresh taste of the band’s latest vibe.
Future WorldHelloween
It was the lead single from their first album made with second-generation vocalist Michael Kiske, Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1, and the band’s second single overall.
It’s also known as the track that showcased to the world the overwhelming presence and extraordinary high-range voice of Kiske, who was still in his teens at the time.
With a pop-leaning touch from Kai Hansen, an extended twin-lead guitar solo, and other hallmarks, it’s famous as one of early Helloween’s signature songs.
The playful, brilliantly crafted arrangement makes it a great entry point even for those who don’t usually listen to Western music or metal.
Dr. SteinHelloween
Their third single overall, showcasing main composer Michael Weikath’s flair for pop sensibilities.
In addition to being included on the classic album “Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II,” an acoustic version was released in 2009 on the album “Unarmed – Best of 25th Anniversary,” and it’s a staple in their live shows.
While Helloween are often associated with a melodic speed metal style, this track delivers a comparatively heavy sound, yet its high-quality, catchy melodies have made it very popular.
It’s a metal number that’s easy to enjoy even for rock fans who aren’t into very fast songs.
I Want OutHelloween
A track included on Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 2, later released as the fourth single.
It showcases Kai Hansen’s pop sensibilities—something not seen during the four-piece era—delivering an uplifting rush and brisk sound.
With a twin-guitar harmonized intro riff and a solo steeped in the distinctive melancholy of German metal, it’s approachable even for newcomers to the genre.
In concerts, it’s one of those songs that makes you want to throw your fist in the air during the chorus, embodying Helloween’s golden era.
SkyfallHelloween
A song released after the sensational return of Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske, who supported Helloween’s golden era.
It’s the lead single from Helloween—the sequel to the album Keeper of the Seven Keys, hailed as Helloween’s finest work—and a 12-plus-minute masterpiece that evokes their early sound.
Its fusion of a back-to-the-roots worldview with the band’s evolution to date achieves a level of completion that surely thrilled Helloween fans worldwide.
Packed with a vibrant, here-and-now appeal, it’s a metal number that signals the beginning of a new golden age for Helloween.
