HELLOWEEN Survivor 2017 - The Dark Ride - round 7 tiebreaker !!!

THE DARK RIDE

The Dark Ride is the ninth studio album by Helloween, released in 2000. The album's style was quite different from Better Than Raw as it had a much darker sound, very tuned down guitars, and gruffer vocals. The album was produced by renowned figures Roy Z and Charlie Bauerfeind. It is also the last studio album to feature guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch, both of whom were fired after completion of the supporting tour for the album. They went on to form the band Masterplan.

I only want to say two words about that album - FUCKING BRILLIANT. I know that is darkness and evil in it, there are tuned down guitars, there are no orange pumpkins etc etc... For me, it's one of my top 3 Helloween albums. Every song has some specific elements that I love in music, every song. Let's get down to voting.

Andi Deris - vocals
Roland Grapow – guitar
Michael Weikath – guitar
Markus Grosskopf – bass
Uli Kusch – drums

Very tough tiebreaker to pick... I think that Escalation 666 is a very good song, but like someone here said very well, it tries too hard to be evil and bad. That's why I'm voting for that one.

Very easy vote for me: Mr. Torture. I think Helloween succeeded in taking us for the darkest ride with Escalation 666, mostly due to that truly epic chorus and intense ending. Nothing in Mr. Torture can compete with the sounds of "Shadows on the wall, darkness is spreading...."

666
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

I see what you did there.

Mr. Torture.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
