Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II

Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II is the third studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 1988. The album sold well, and success bloomed all over Europe, Asia, and even the United States. The album went gold in Germany and reached No. 108 in the US.

Background
The recording of the album ran 24 hours a day between May and June 1988. Tommy Newton would work during the daytime and Tommy Hansen took over at night until Karl Walterbach (Noise Records) fired Tommy Hansen from the project. Newton claimed that if he mixed 'Eagle Fly Free' on his own he could make it sound more modern and so wanted to continue on his own. After the preview mix of 'Eagle Fly Free', Tommy Hansen was sent home. ==Critical reception==
