Gamma Ray-The Best Of (June 9, 2015)

“It’s been a wild ride for Germany’s power metal institution Gamma Ray. Led by Kai Hansen, one of the most loved metal icons of the last 30 years, Gamma Ray has influenced and shaped the genre since 25 years. Now, after eleven studio albums and the release of their recent studio album Empire Of The Undead almost one year ago – the most successful record in the band’s history yet, Gamma Ray is ready to get their first selection of their best and most representative songs on one album. The record features a great variety of tunes, spanning from the band’s first ever album Heading For Tomorrow to highlights picked out of albums such as Powerplant and To The Metal!. The songs – all hand-picked by Mister Kai Hansen himself – give metal fans and those to be a real cross-section of the band’s extensive work so far. This adds up to a selection of over 25 songs, all re-mastered by Eike Freese (Deep Purple). Liner notes written by Kai Hansen complete the package and give a deep insight into the work of this exceptional talent.” (adapted from Gamma Ray Homepage)
