CELTIC FROST - To Mega Therion
-00thumb.jpg)
Kai Hansen feels less like a traditional frontman and more like a force that leans too far forward and drags the band with him. In the early Helloween years, guitars came first and vocals followed almost by necessity, from 1984 through the late ’80s when everything still felt fast, risky, and unfinished. When he left in 1989 it wasn’t drama, just impatience in motion. Gamma Ray didn’t slow anything down; it doubled the pressure, speed with a grin that still had teeth. These songs don’t stroll or explain themselves. They shove, they dare, and they expect you to keep up.
"Noise International" Company Description:

This epochal chapter in the history of metal saw the emergence of iconic German bands like Helloween, Tankard, Kreator, and others, forging a sonic legacy that resonates to this day.
Origins of Noise International:
The genesis of Noise International can be traced back to the early 1980s when Modern Musik, a visionary music label, recognized the burgeoning potential of the German metal landscape.

Helloween: The Pioneers of Power Metal
At the forefront of Noise International's portfolio stood Helloween, a band that would redefine the landscape of power metal. With their melodic prowess and intricate compositions, Helloween's albums under the Noise International banner, such as "Keeper of the Seven Keys," became landmarks in the genre, influencing countless bands worldwide.
Tankard: Thrashing the Norms
Noise International also embraced the raw intensity of thrash metal through bands like Tankard. With their relentless energy and social commentary, Tankard's albums like "Chemical Invasion" exemplified the uncompromising spirit of German thrash, earning them a dedicated global fanbase.
Kreator: Teutonic Titans of Thrash
Another jewel in Noise International's crown was Kreator, a band that played a pivotal role in shaping the thrash metal landscape. Albums like "Pleasure to Kill" and "Extreme Aggression" showcased Kreator's technical prowess and uncompromising aggression, solidifying their status as Teutonic titans of thrash.

HELLOWEEN I Want Out 12" Maxi-Single "I Want Out" was written by Kai Hansen, who confirmed in an interview, that it was a hint of him really wanting "out" of the band. Musically, the song is characterised by a recognisable introduction and Michael Kiske's trademark high pitched singing in the chorus. It is also notable for being punk-influenced (especially the rebellious lyrics) in contrast to other Helloween songs, or Hansen's post-Helloween work. |
