THE DARK RIDE
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Helloween-thedarkride.jpg)
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

Mirror Mirror has fall of the wall then... Now, I'm picking If I Could Fly for the next victim, but I have a sad feeling that Mr Torture will be next...
