HELLOWEEN Survivor 2017 - The Time Of The Oath - round 3

THE TIME OF THE OATH

The Time of the Oath is the seventh studio album by Helloween, released in 1996. The album is dedicated to the memory of former drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg, who committed suicide the previous year. The Time of the Oath is a concept album. According to Andi Deris, it is based on the prophecies of Nostradamus, referring to the prophecies made for the years 1994 to 2000. Nostradamus' interpreters believe that he predicted a third World War followed by a millennium of peace if humans made the right choices. The album is meant to reflect the choices of humanity. The Keeper that appears on this album, having returned from the first two Keeper of the Seven Keys albums and later to return on the third, could represent God, or the stupidity of humanity in the form of the seventh trooper in the song "Before the War." Instead of a space scene as on the cover of Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1, the area under the Keeper's hood is filled with stars and a line of golden rings, in the fashion of Master of the Rings' artwork.

As I remember well, The Time Of The Oath was the first album that I've heard with Andi on vocals. I bought it on a CD, listened to it and I loved it from the first time! Everything was great from melodies to drumwork (especially drums, I think that Oath is the best Uli performance in Helloween). I hope that I will hear and see some tracks from Oath on Pumpkins United concert in November, I saw Kings Will Be Kings on their setlist... It would be great

A Million To One is another victim. So for now, everything goes right with my plan - Mama and Million are out, and I'm hoping for Wake Up The Mountain will be next to go So, Wake Up The Mountain.

Wake up the Mountain is one of the best here c'mon!

Controversial vote for Mission Motherland. It's not that I dislike it, everything else is better.

I like very much Mission Motherland, Wake Up The Mountain was always somewhere in the bottom in Helloween cataloque for me, dunno why to be honest, the rest of the songs from Oath are better for me easily.

Wake Up The Mountain

When I said some of my favorites and underrated tunes will go out early, I was exactly thinking of A Million to one.
