GAMMA RAY Frontman Interviewed On 'The Metal Command' Radio Show (Audio)

July 7, 2011

Guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen of German power metallers GAMMA RAY was interviewed on the June 24 edition of Tony Webster's "The Metal Command" radio show. The chat can now be streamed using the audio player below.

Released in the U.S. and Canada on May 31 via Armoury Records/Eagle Rock Entertainment, the new album from GAMMA RAY, "Skeletons & Majesties", is a collection of songs the band gathered from previous albums represented in two completely different styles. The purpose of the disc is simply to have fun, and to give fans a heads-up on what is in store for the band in the coming months, as well as involve their fans in the upcoming actions.

The first two tracks are the "Skeletons", featuring brand new versions of some of GAMMA RAY's songs rarely (if ever) played live, including "Hold Your Ground" (from their "Heading For Tomorrow" album) and "Brothers" (from the "Insanity And Genius" album). The second section, "Majesties", is where the band display two more new versions of rarities, "Send Me A Sign" (originally on the "Powerplant" release) and "Rebellion In Dreamland" (originally on "Land Of The Free"),both performed in a new acoustic presentation.
