Helloween is a German speed/power metal band. Their debut album, Walls of Jericho, is a classic speed metal album. Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I (Part II was released a year later), their sophomore album, is widely regarded as the beginning of the modern European power metal style.
So basically, Helloween manages to make awesome power metal without sounding cheesy or gay. Or, at least, they did on their first three albums; I haven't heard much of the later stuff.
