Its first lineup consisted of singer and guitarist Kai Hansen, bassist Markus Grosskopf, guitarist Michael Weikath and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. By the time Hansen quit Helloween in 1989 to form Gamma Ray, the band had evolved into a five-piece, with Michael Kiske taking over as lead vocalist. Schwichtenberg and Kiske both parted ways with Helloween in 1993; Schwichtenberg died two years later as the result of suicide. Between then and 2016, there had been numerous line-up changes, leaving Grosskopf and Weikath as the only remaining original members. As a septet, their current lineup includes four-fifths of the Keeper of the Seven Keys: Parts I and II-era (1987–1988) lineup, featuring three additional members, vocalist Andi Deris (who had replaced Kiske in 1994), guitarist Sascha Gerstner and drummer Daniel Löble.

Since its inception, Helloween has released 16 studio albums, three live albums, three EPs and 30 singles, was honored with 14 gold and six platinum awards and has sold more than ten million records worldwide. Helloween has been referred to as the "fathers of power metal", as well as one of the so-called "big four" of the genre's early German scene, along with Grave Digger, Rage and Running Wild, and as one of power metal "big four" overall, along with Blind Guardian, Sabaton and DragonForce.

Hell Was Made In Heaven
Helloween Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time eating your mind
Eating your heart and your soul
Down to the bone always alone
Nobody waiting at home

Now allow that we unite our fires
Shout it out
Give yourself to me

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell was made in heaven
I was made for you
Hell was made in heaven
Made for loving you in sin

Ten years ago you made the vow
Promised your life and your love
Before you have paid, nothing returned
What is enough is enough

Now allow that we unite our fires
Shout it out
Give yourself to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell was made in heaven
I was made for you
Hell was made in heaven
Made for loving you in sin

Now allow that we unite our fires
Shout it out
Give yourself to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Hell was made in heaven
I was made for you
Hell was made in heaven

Made for loving you in sin, in sin
In sin, in sin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "9 Hell Was Made In Heaven" by Helloween are full of emotion and passion. The first verse describes a time when the singer was alone and their mind, heart, and soul were being consumed. The loneliness is palpable, and it seems as though there was no one there for them. The second stanza begins with a call to unite their fires, to come together and shout out their love. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who have been through a lot and are finally finding their way back to each other. The chorus then repeats the title phrase, "Hell was made in heaven," suggesting that even in difficult times, there can be beauty and goodness if we find the right person to share it with.

The last stanza of the song reflects on a vow that was made ten years ago. The singer reminds their partner that they promised their life and love, but that promise has not been kept. The lyric "What is enough is enough" suggests that the singer has reached a breaking point, perhaps feeling as though they have given all they can and received nothing in return. However, the chorus repeats once again, allowing for the possibility of redemption and a return to love. Overall, the song is about the struggle to find and maintain love, even in the darkest of times.
