“In these lonely days I need your answer”
On 1994’s Master Of The Rings, Helloween got their power metal mojo back big time. With two new members on board, drummer Uli Kutsch and vocalist Andi Deris, the German band sounded fresh and vital. And it’s these new guys that particularly shine on Why? Kutsch excites with his hard-hitting, gear-shifting groove and, not only are his vocals breathtaking (especially on the soaring, emotional chorus) but Deris displayed considerable songwriting chops here too. The lyrics challenge a non-interventional God but Why? is so good I can’t help feeling like the big man had Helloween’s back.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
Dude on the far left of the band pic needs to stop trying so hard.

Whereas the guy on the right has a kind of studied nonchalance

Its a fine line, a very fine line. I suspect I’d err on the side of trying to hard to be sexy.

It’s really good. The first three songs are some of the best stuff they ever did.
