Memories of the band Helloween
Back in high school, there was a radio show that all the metal kids loved.
It was a KBS FM program called "Jeon Young-hyuk's Music World."
The program aired at 2 AM.
Since I was a high schooler back then, I would stay up until 3 or 4 AM pretending to study,
and I would listen to this radio program.
They introduced a lot of progressive music,
and above all, they played heavy music like power metal quite often,
making it a favorite radio show among metal kids.
Anyway, one day on that program,
they mentioned that an incredible band from Germany had emerged
and played an entire Helloween album from start to finish.
Isn't that amazing? They just played the whole album.
I can't recall exactly which album it was,
but I suspect it might have been Keeper of the Seven Keys...
Personally, that was the first time I discovered the band Helloween.
This song was probably their biggest hit in Korea.
When I went to school the next day,
among the metal kids who listened to similar music, as expected,
Helloween became quite a hot topic because they were awesome.
Personally, I loved this song.
That 8-bit drive!
Since they didn't achieve massive hits in the US, they have a bit of a vibe like an overlooked band from the periphery,
but they were very popular in Asia and Europe.
