Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 is the second release from the German power metal/heavy metal band Helloween. It is often considered to be one of Helloween's best albums, as well credited by many to be the birth of power metal. There was a single released of "Future World", as well as a music video of "Halloween". Helloween originally planned to release Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1 and Part 2 as a double album, but their record label insisted that they should be divided and released separately.
