Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1


 

This is the album that started the legend. The almighty Keeper Of The Seven Keys. Kai and Weiki finally invented melodic metal and changed the face of metal forever. However the addition of Michael Kiske on vocals helped the band a fucking lot. The songwriting was much improved and Kai Hansen's influence dominates the album. The guitars are better and the singing is quite unbelievable . . . but who could expect less from Michael Kiske.

Nice single....info below:

(same info as Keeper 1)

Track Listing

1.  Future World
2.  Starlight (Michael Kiske Version)
3.  A Little Time (Different Version)

Total Running Time:  11:57

For right now, this single is Japanese only. Starlight gets to be a fucking killer song now with Kiske on vocals and A Little Time is almost the same as the a-side with the exception this one has a chorus after each verse.
