THE KEEPERS OF JERICHO

�A Tribute to Helloween� (13 tracks. ).

I don�t know whether I should be more excited over a Helloween tribute or the bands reworking their songs. Either way, with bands like Rhapsody (�Guardians�), Sonata Arctica (�I Want Out�), Heaven�s Gate (�A Little Time�), Metalium (�Ride the Sky�), Luca Turilli (�I�m Alive�), and Labyrinth (�Future World�) you know it�s going to be worth the price. But there are a few more treats here. We get to hear �Eagle Fly Free� by Vision Divine, the side band of Rhapsody vocalist Fabio Lione. We also get to hear some other excellent bands (these are ones I didn�t previously know) Morifade (�Judas�), Cydonia (�Save Us�), Squealer (�Victim of Fate�), Dark Moor (�Halloween�), and Spain�s own Secret Sphere (�How Many Tears?�). Needless to say that each band adds their own unique touches to these classic tracks. But while Rhapsody/Luca Turilli happens to be my favorite bands represented here, Brainstorm has the best interpretation with their version of �Savage�. It is simply awesome. This CD comes highly recommended and I applaud Spain�s Arise Record�s for this excellent disc.
