GAMMA RAY Frontman Comments On Upcoming DVD Shoot

April 6, 2006

German power metallers GAMMA RAY will be filming their May 6 show at Medley in Montreal, Quebec for an upcoming double DVD, to be released in September. In addition to the concert, which will be filmed with several cameras, the DVD will contain lots of bonus features, like a road movie, a documentary covering the group's history, behind-the-scenes footage, video clips etc. "Canada is a good place to film a show," says the band's frontman, Kai Hansen. "But we are also bringing a cameraman along for the entire tour to capture all of the back stage and pre-show aspects of the band. We are bringing it back to rock 'n' roll basics.

This will be the first-ever GAMMA RAY video-documentary featuring the current lineup of the band. "The current lineup has been together for 8 years," Hansen states. "It's about time we get a filmed documentary of who the band is."

Having just released their latest effort, "Majestic", on October 11, 2005, GAMMA RAY is preparing to tour North America. The lineup for "Majestic" includes Hansen (guitar, bass),Dirk Schlächter (bass),Henjo Richter (guitar, keyboards) and Daniel Zimmerman (drums),who have been together for the last several releases after a number of lineup changes in the early stages of the band?s career. "Majestic" is the band's first release since 2003's "Skeletons in the Closet".

GAMMA RAY will be playing their first ever U.S. tour this spring. "We're excited because we have only played one U.S. show before," says Hansen. "Finally, after 16 years of GAMMA RAY, we are happy to be able to come to America and we're looking forward to kicking some ass!"
