Classic Helstar from the 1989 "Nosferatu" album. I put this up with a clip from the album's namesake, it's a great song that's nowhere to be found on Youtube. The guitar parts are insane but don't get in the way of the song, unlike many shredders...enjoy!
To Sleep, Per Chance to Scream
I'm the one you fear
The voice that calls out your name
I'm out for new blood
Tonight your soul I'll claim
You're the victim I endure
Parched I watch you sleep
Awakened to my stare
In trance you're falling deep
To sleep per chance to scream
I'm the prince of phantoms
Who's not inhabited hell
My telepathic powers
Weave you in my spell
Excuse my icy touch
I'm of corporeal structure
Join me in twilight existence
Eternal youth with one puncture
"To sleep per chance to scream"
Soon I'll have my kingdom
I'll be lord of the dead
In the land beyond death
Where even angels fear to tread
Can't you believe your eyes still
That I am for real
Do I send you a chill while I'm having my thrill
As I watch your blood spill that gives me my fill
For me another night for me another kill
The acrid smell of blood
I taste with my breath
Your last cling to my cloak
Next sunset you'll rise
Into immorality
Vampiric afterlife
Imprisoned for my needs
"To sleep per chance to scream"

I'm glad Helstar ditched the lame Maiden-isms for Nosferatu. It's indeed their best work.

this album is a masterpiece!

@HelstarMetal good, now you only need to explain to us what were you drinking when writing those insane riffs, I mean are you guys some aliens who came to Earth to show us that we only THINK we can play guitar? Harkers tale? I spent full week trying to play the intro to no avail. You guys are just criminally overlooked. And I gotta say I love your road movies, keep em coming, you re an inspiration for a young metalhead
