Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II is the third studio album by German power metal band Helloween, released in 1988.[9][10] The album sold well, and success bloomed all over Europe, Asia, and even the United States. The album went gold in Germany[11] and reached No. 108 in the US.

Two singles were released from the album, "Dr. Stein" and "I Want Out". "Dr. Stein" has a very long and moody solo, played with a blues tinge, very unlike other solos on the album, as well as an organ solo. "I Want Out" remains the band's best-known song, and has been covered by several metal bands, such as Gamma Ray, Unisonic, HammerFall, LORD and Sonata Arctica.
