GAMMA RAY - TO THE METAL!

Bio:

The new Gamma Ray album has been recorded and produced in Hamburg, Germany - the band’s home-town.
After the last studio album “Land of the Free II” released in 2007, charted all over Europe and ended up being one of the band best sellers, Gamma Ray approached the songwriting and production of the new record with a fresh approach and an energy that you would normally find in bands releasing their first records.
“To The Metal” is the 10th studio album in 21 years of world-wide success and a new real diamond in their Metal history. As the title already assumes, it’s a real Heavy Metal record showing their never ending experimental creativity. “To The Metal” has the classic Gamma Ray sound but includes also some influences of Gothic (“Mother Angel”; “All You Need To Know”) and Industrial (“Empathy”).
Driven by the title-track, which is destined to be considered as one of the best Gamma Ray songs ever (if not one of the best Kai Hansen compositions), a real tribute to the Metal genre that echoes of the best Judas Priest and Iron Maiden vintage sound.

“Our target is to combine the traditional and modern sound without loosing our identity.” (Kai Hansen – Gamma Ray)

And with no doubt, they made it! Gamma Rays new album proves once again that there is no better band than them when it comes to classic Heavy Metal! All classic Helloween fans will be delighted to know that Michael Kiske (the singer of the million sellers “Keeper Of The Seventh Keys I and II”) will team again with Hansen and sings a song on the album together with Hansen. ....
