Helloween's "Walls of Jericho" should be removed from The Pit

First Post February 21, 2023 06:56 AM

Helloween's debut Walls of Jericho is Priest/Maiden-infused power metal, and the pioneering foundation of the genre. It is filled with different aspects throughout the songs that shape up the genre, including scream-singing, melodic riffing, notable bass fills, speedy drumming, and subtle background keyboards. Barely anything at all can be considered speed metal, with only one song qualifying there. With that, I'd like to submit Helloween's "Walls of Jericho" to the Hall to be removed from the Pit and speed metal, while staying in The Guardians and power metal.

Thanks, Daniel! I’d also like the Angra and Stigmata albums I’ve submitted earlier this month sent to the Hall when possible please:
