They haven`t been featured so far, but Gamma Ray along with Helloween and Blind Guardian made up the big 3 of the German power metal movement, the most important in Europe. They were formed when Kai Hansen left Helloween and unlike their counterparts who predominantly featured a non instrument playing lead vocalist (keeping in 1970s & 1980s metal tradition here) Kai Hansen played lead guitar and was the lead vocalist of the band. Gamma Ray have always featured killer guitar solos, but on this album their fourth they easily put out their best release to date
The Batlord has actually selected this album for his up-coming power metal battle on metal wars
Gamma Ray Land of the Free 1995
