This week we pretend like it’s still Gothtober and bring you a 2nd volume of a “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!” from a band we covered 2 Halloweens ago. Another in-depth exploration of a perennial Halloween favorite for us: the frightfully amazing HELLOWEEN! This German band has had a long-lasting impact on Kevin, but will Captain Content agree that they should have a much bigger spotlight shone on them?

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we have featured on the show several times over the years including our 2005-2021 episode 2-years ago. A German band that helped and establish the metal genre known as, “Power Metal”. Unfortunately, their brilliance and innovation has never fully been recognized to the degree that it deserves. We think they SHOULD BE HUGE… and we are ready to fly that banner proudly!

Songs this week include:

1. Helloween - “Where The Rain Grows” from Master Of The Rings (1994)
2. Helloween - “Power” from The Time Of The Oath (1996)
3. Helloween - “We Burn” from High Live (1996)
4. Helloween - “Midnight Sun” from Better Than Raw (1998)
5. Helloween - “Lay All Your Love On Me (ABBA)” from Metal Jukebox (1999)
6. Helloween - “Mr. Torture” from The Dark Ride (2000)
7. Helloween - “Hell Was Made In Heaven” from Rabbit Don’t Come Easy (2003)
