Wall of Jericho

I have been a poor student for a long time, but recently I have started to have an income. When I found out the remasters of the helloween albums were coming out, I bought them all immediately. I have been waiting to do this for a long time, and now is the perfect time for everyone.This particular remaster includes the original album plus the judas single, and then to add extra incentive, they added 7 b sides to a second disc. The disc one has been re-mastered and sound crisp, and as fresh as the day they were originally penned. It is the second disc that I want to stress as the best part of the new edition, and makes the investment worth it. The two versions of ride the sky (remix and Live) are both nice, and murderer remix and guardian live are cool too, But the tracks Oernst Of Life and Metal Invaders from the DEATH METAL compilation are the weight of this remaster. This is the first time the track Oernst has been anywhere easly available to the public since 1984. I have heard this song only once before this, but I did not have the 50-100 dollars to buy the vinyl Death Metal record to get it. It is one of the first tracks ever layed down by helloween, and is a classic fast, loud metal song that is a unrecognized gem of the early mid 80's metal days. The liner notes of this one also starts the story of the fledgling band, and has an interview with Michael Weikath (as do all of the re-masters series) that fills in more interesting facts of the boys from Hamburg. Overall, this is the best thing that happened to metal since the 1995 re-masters of the Iron Maiden collection (1998 remasters good, but not all the goodie tracks). I wouldn't even hesitate to say this is more a important remasters series for metal of this genre, because it give helloween to re-gain the international recognition it should have again. The Walls Of Jericho are the best place to see the origins of one of Germany's best exports.

this is their fastest and heaviest cd ever realesed equal to kreator, tankard, destruction,sodom over there and should hold up at the time to the big four. Sadly the next albums will slow down Dramatically and put them in the judas prist and iron maiden department of power metal but still great. the Wall of Jericho album is their best work in my eyes the lead guiarist sings and playes lead and the band is a 4 piece band for the time beeing but brutally fast and heavy.

If you are a Helloween fan and do not have this album, you must buy it. These metal heads are the pioneers for melodic metal and their style have influenced a lot of new bands across the world. This album was in my stereo when we used to have tapes and that was in 1985. This album has the vocals of Kai Hansen and the riffs of Michael Weikath and Markus Grosskopf. Bottom line, if you like melodic metal, you should not exclude this band out of your collection ,expecially this album.

Bought this album way back in the day of cassette tapes... loved it. Short but great! However, I have recently ordered it in CD from OxsfordshireEngland and have not received it, it's been almost 3 months!!! Apparently it's conning via carrier pigeon to the US??

Walls of Jericho is the raw, speed metal foundation upon which all of Helloween has been built, and it's a must-have for any fan.

Arrived in new condition as promised and played well :-)

It has a 2nd CD with bonus!

Pure power

El disco llegó un día antes de lo programado, el material del disco es simplemente impecable, si eres fan de Helloween no te puede faltar este súper clásico del power metal

Tiene canciones que no tenía

Geiles Doppelalbum der guten alten Zeit. Kai Hansen 4LIVE

100% good music.

Arrivato intero e intatto.Il primo album degli Helloween, nonostante le influenze JudasPriestiane, si conferma come un ottimo album nonostante la voce di Hansen ancora agli esordi con un canto acerbo ma che ci consegna grande chicche della band quali "Ride the Sky" "Victims of Fate" e "Judas"
