CD edition bringing together the first two EP's by the legendary HELLOWEEN: "Helloween" (1985) and "Judas" (1986), two essential releases that document the birth of European Power/Speed Metal. During this early era, with Kai Hansen handling lead vocals as well as guitar duties, the band delivered a much rawer, faster and more aggressive sound than on its later recordings with Michael Kiske, laying the foundations for a style that would influence countless bands around the world.
The "Helloween" EP captures the explosive energy of a young band through timeless classics such as "Starlight", "Murderer" and "Victim of Fate", while "Judas" presents the same lineup live during the "Walls of Jericho" tour, showcasing the intensity and outstanding musicianship that had already made HELLOWEEN a formidable live act. An essential collection for anyone wishing to experience the origins of one of Heavy Metal's most influential bands.
