About Victim Of Fate 2

Victim Of Fate 2 is a track by German power metal band Helloween, featured on the compilation March of Time (1984-1998). Rooted in the band's early power metal style, it offers electric guitarists a chance to explore fast, aggressive riffing and melodic lead work characteristic of Helloween's formative sound. The track is a solid study in high-energy rhythm playing and precision picking techniques central to the power metal genre.

  • Helloween helped define European power metal, making their guitar work a key reference point for the genre's technical style.
  • Power metal rhythm guitar parts like those in Helloween tracks typically demand tight, palm-muted downpicking at high tempos.
  • March of Time (1984-1998) spans Helloween's classic era, collecting tracks that showcase the band's evolving guitar-driven sound.

How to Play Victim Of Fate 2

The song moves through: Intro, solo 1 full speed, solo 2 full speed, interlude 100%, interlude 50%.

Tuning: Eb Standard · Tempo: 120 BPM

It is played in Eb standard, a half step down, so tune down before you start or every position and bend will sit a half step sharp against the recording. Once the main sections feel solid, isolate the solo, which is usually the steepest jump.

Use the section loop to isolate a passage, drop the speed below 100%, and set the metronome to 120 BPM to build it up to tempo.

While Helloween primarily used Gibson SGs and Ibanez models, the Stratocaster's single-cutaway versatility and humbucker pairing offered similar sustain and upper-fret accessibility needed for their dual-guitar harmonies. The instrument's reliability and articulate pickup response aligned with the band's philosophy of letting tube amp tone and technique drive their signature power metal sound.
