Helloween are a German power metal band from Hamburg, founded in 1984. They are widely credited as pioneers of the power metal genre and rank among Germany's best-selling metal acts, with over 10 million albums sold and 21 gold and platinum awards. The twin Keeper of the Seven Keys albums cemented their legacy, and in 2021 the band staged a landmark reunion with a seven-member lineup featuring three vocalists.
