KICKHUNTER Added To HELLOWEEN/GAMMA RAY Tribute Album; Artwork Unveiled

July 27, 2010

Norway's GAIA EPICUS and Germany's KICKHUNTER (featuring HELLOWEEN bassist Markus Großkopf) are among the bands who will appear on an upcoming tribute album to HELLOWEEN and GAMMA RAY. The CD, entitled "HelloRay - A Tribute To Helloween & Gamma Ray", is tentatively due before the end of the year via Epicus Records.

According to a press release, "HelloRay - A Tribute To Helloween & Gamma Ray" is a project made by bands who are fans and has been inspired by the music of these two great pioneers of melodic power metal. It will contain songs that were originally written and recorded between 1985 and 2007.

The tentative track listing is as follows:

01. Tribute To The Past (GAMMA RAY) - GUARDIANS OF MANKIND
02. Warrior (HELLOWEEN) - GAIA EPICUS
03. The Spirit (GAMMA RAY) - PARALLAX
04. Mr. Torture (HELLOWEEN) - AILLION
05. Anywhere In The Galaxy (GAMMA Ray) - OPERA MAGNA
06. Ain't Got Nothin' Better (HELLOWEEN) - KICK HUNTER
07. Last Before The Storm (GAMMA RAY) - SONEM
08. Where The Rain Grows (HELLOWEEN) - ARMORY
09. A Tale That Wasn't Right (HELLOWEEN) - DRACHEN
10. Lust For Life (GAMMA RAY) - MIDAS FATE
11. Just A Little Sign (HELLOWEEN) - RAMPART
12. Leaving Hell (GAMMA RAY) - ROTTEN
13. [to be announced]
14. Heaven Or Hell (Gamma Ray) - BURN UNIVERSE
15. [to be announced]
16. Land Of The Free (GAMMA RAY) - DEIMOS

Since SIGNUM REGIS pulled out and TREASURE LAND didn't have the time to record its previously announced contribution to the CD, Epicus now has two available slots on the album. Bands interested in being involved with the project should contact the label as soon as possible.
