Helloween & Gamma Ray

Helloween are going to reedit
Master of the rings
Time of the oath
Better than raw
With many B sides. Those 3 albums for me are the keepers of Andi deris and sometimes i prefer those than the keepers. Again the album recorded in the 80s vs other eras.

I bought those on CD recently, and they all had bonus material and was remastered. Maybe they come on vinyl now?
 
I think he is the biggest of metal . I cant remember someone like him
Zakk Wylde, Jon Mikl Thor (literally a bodybuilder and won both Mr. Canada and Mr. USA), John Petrucci.

Brian Johnson had quite the shoulders and biceps around 1990, if he counts as a metal singer.

And, well, Chris Jericho technically has a band.
 

Keeper Part 4 would be curious, with the current lineup and in terms of art. The Legacy album is different than them (this is its original name, probably) or from the last two albums, a new album could be combination of all of their styles/approaches (Keepers-90s with Andi, early-to-2007 heaviness, plus some rock vibe).

Meh, keeper 3 was just the name nothing in there was sounding like keepers. I prefer new albums i dont know why they do that i mean would be normal if you do it one after the other like the keepers,the illusions but after all this years with different line up..... they sound now so different from 80s and even from 90s with andi. Could you imagine maiden doing the number of the beast part II now? Would be horrible before listening to it
 
Legacy was only titled "Keeper of the Seven Keys" because "Rabbit Don't Come Easy" had failed and they wanted to secure incomes with a Keeper-centric tour.

It had nothing to share with the OG twin albums. Different band, sound, even the main songwriting contributions.

Re Ralph, while has been for 20-something years, I gauge he's lot a bit of mass the past few years.

Well, "The King For A Thousand Years" did for sure. "The Invisible Man" is allegedly a top-tier happy metal song as well. But I agree the album has its fillers too.
The intro maybe but was helloween deris sound both. I still think they should have call that album anything else. And a keeper 4 ..meh... the only songs from the new album that sounds like keeper are out for the glory,under the moonlight and i think thats all. They dont need to sound like keeper i think

Dunno.

"King" is very good (best track in the lot for me) but it also is much darker than both the original Keepers were, should even the comparison be with "Halloween"—which has a jolly/happy metal side, with the Peanuts reference and the polka-like riff towards the end. While "King" remains very heavy and dark-themed all throughout, especially with pre-chorus ("Brother believe me / Father forgive me", etc.) the breakdown and the extended instrumentals. Happiest (again, very loosely) part is maybe the "No believers, no deceivers" riff.
It also uses more aggressive riffing in general compared to the OG two albums. I mean, the main riff is a straightforward gallop with heavy accents. It can maybe be reminiscent of some things on Hansen's song, tho.

While "Invisible Man" is (very loosely, IMHO) happy in the chorus, but for the rest truly not very much. "Mrs. God" would perhaps better suit the definition (the song in itself is crap, but it's happier than "Invisible Man").
