One of the better tribute albums you'll ever hear!.......2003-07-16

Most people are bored to tears hearing about another tribute album, and rightly so, because 98 per cent of the tribute albums produced since the inception of the novelty consist of talentless drivel that mock their so-called inspiration more than emulate it (who can forget that "wonderful" `Rebellion: A Tribute To Queensrÿche'? Rather, who can remember it?). Once in a while, however, a label will carefully select artists who can accomplish the most heartfelt and "true" interpretations of their idols' work. This is where Arise Records comes in. Two years ago, they compiled an effervescent compilation of largely established artists paying homage to the fathers of modern power metal: the immortal Helloween. The result was a mixed bag of faithful renditions and versions assimilated into the covering bands' own styles. That is probably the most (and best) anyone can expect from a tribute album. However, the one flaw in said tribute disc was that it only acknowledged the Kai Hansen era of the band (up to 1988-between `Helloween' and `Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II'); of course, most of Helloween's defining tracks were represented on the first compilation. This new disc ventures further and includes bold material from the lesser known `Pink Bubbles Go Ape,' Deris-fronted `Master of the Rings' and `Time of the Oath,' and less obvious (but equally potent) heritage material. The artist lineup is also interesting in that, with the notable exceptions of Iron Savior and Steel Attack, spotlights a host of burgeoning (yet immensely talented) youthful acts, like Celesty, Arwen, Axenstar, and Vhäldemar. Sure, some may see this as a cheap advertising ploy for Arise Records (as many of these juvenile bands are signed to the label), but considering the variety of Helloween classics represented herein, the bands' strengths were heavily considered when choosing appropriate cover songs. Granted, as with any tribute album, you cannot please all the fans, some of whom may deem tribute discs as blasphemous, but I, for one, find that breathing new life into near-forgotten blasts from the past help to raise new appreciation for the original artist, while offering a glimpse at the probable talent of new bands. Such is the case with `Keepers of Jericho: A Tribute To Helloween Part II.'

Wow! This is amazing. And I am not easily amazed.......2003-05-11

Helloween was truly honored by this group of musicians. Enhancing the original music and vocals in an amazing way. Songs like Dr. Stein were just amazing. One of the most interesting aspects of this album was "A Tale that Wasn't Right" which featured a female vocalist. It was perfect.
I would love to see another tribute album, this time with "Hey Lord" on it.
