1978 - 1984 Počátky skupiny sahají až do roku 1978, kdy dva kytaristi Kai Hansen a Piet Sielck hráli ve skupině Gentry, ale po mnohých změnách v sestavě ji přejmenovali nejprve na Second Hell a poté na Ironfist. Po těchto změnách doplnili kapelu...

Píseň: Heavy Metal Hamsters

Interpret:
Helloween
Album:
Pink Bubbles Go Ape
There are some fellows soft and mellow 
Sitting in the field and play like hell 
No one knows the way it goes 
But all the songs they play they sound so well 


Tonight we go to see the Heavy Metal Hamsters 
It must feel nice to be a Heavy Metal Hamster 
Nothing sets you free like our Heavy Metal Hamsters 


A 20th century Fox came by 
A gold tipped cigarette high in his jaws 
contracts, PDs, Nose-Bags, TV-shows 
And everything with no remorse 


Things are settled now for our Heavy Metal Hamsters 
Fame up to your brows, oh Heavy Metal Hamster 
A previously unknown lifestyle Heavy Metal Hamster 


The sweet taste of success is strong 
And everything inside goes wrong you see 
With coloured furs, sunglasses 
Tons of nuts to eat, they don't feel free 


What is wrong with our Heavy Metal Hamster? 
Look what they have done our Heavy Metal Hamsters 
Where is the field to run for our Heavy Metal Hamsters 
Some things are left undone for our Heavy Metal Hamsters
