Gamma Ray biography
 Retrospect: End to the year of 1988. The communication causes a feeling: guitarist Kai Hansen leaves Helloween the quintett he co-founded which managed to progress 250.000 units of KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS (Piece. II) and extent goldstatus in Germany. Calm whole the planet&perceptives gold could not repress Hansen&perceptives want to realize his individual perception of new melodic Weighty Metal under the title of Gamma Light (which was the songtitle of an aged German circle called Delivery Mastery). As a result the earliest not many albums HEADING FOR TOMORROW (1989) SIGH NO Additional (1991) and Foolishness & Intellect (1993) featuring the vocals of Ralf Scheepers (now with Primal Alarm) had additional of an exploratory individuality marking the required search for an alone fashion that differed from Hansen&perceptives previous globe of action. The circle&perceptives exact fashion emerged at the latest with the delivery of Earth OF THE Without charge in 1995: strong Weighty Metal consisting of approachable melodies anthemic sometimes epic songstructures and the certain expression of the guitarplayer who again took accomplished vocals duties for now and everlasting similar in the days of aged Helloween with his rose Randy Rhoads guitar. Existent &perceptive95 recorded in both Spain and Italy is a excellent documentation of the worldtour that followed the holder which also proved that bands of this type container be profitable external of Japan the whole-period powerful possession for melodic / competence metal. SOMEWHERE Gone IN Room released in 1997 was addition turningpoint in the circle&perceptives carreer: On individual fingers the mark-up finally became stabilized to its contemporary shape with bassplayer Dirk Schlächter drummer Daniel Zimmermann and guitarist Henjo Richter on the additional fingers this holder lifted Gamma Light up into the European first-class of bands which rang in the recovery of additional usual sounds. Now it payed gone that the guys from Hamburg always stuck to their individual alone fashion singular refining their healthy without giving in to the trends of the period. POWERPLANT was the addition of the general successful ahead for the foursome. They famous their tenth observance with the delivery of a paired CD entitled Sound FROM THE Done - a accumulation of their greatest hits preferred by the fans done an internet census. Beginning tracks then were newly recorded by the contemporary mark-up. Addition planet journey followed which flat took Hansen and people to mysterious regions similar Mexico. Now the four guys scheme to add addition section to their accomplishment account with their seventh studio donation NO Planet Arrangement. Once again selfproduced by Hansen and Schlächter the circle celebrates a combination of Weighty Metal within the healthy-tried practice leaving no wishes unfullfilled in conditions of variety. Once again the quartett puts an importance on its healthy famous powerful points: an inimitable mix of approachable melodies with huge highspeed metalpower to be found on tracks similar "Hard" a forceful song with exact NWoBHM style "Emotions Of The Unicorn" an almost thrashy headbanger or on "Eagle" a exact riff-giant being featuring a sing-along singers and far-reaching duplicate guitar harmonies. The likable guys flat put gone a promising strike "Utopia or Netherworld" which lives up to "I Desire Gone" a mark Hansen calm end in 1998 for his previous circle Helloween calm a favourite at both Helloween and Gamma Light shows. "Burning Below" heads additional in the management of rocklike stone suggestive of Far down Blue and red interval "Damn The Device" is based on a churning riff and sounds vaguely similar Accept in importance times of BREAKER or Not content & Untamed yet it does not deny new influences. Without any questioning: there is no method ingnoring Gamma Light and their recent holder NO Planet Arrangement in the third millenium - at slightest not for whole those who are into tall stylish different brilliantly executed Weighty Metal with a dominating catchyness and a "Made In Germany"- blemish of characteristic. Gamma Light - "what you know is what you get" for every metalhead. |
