Great U turns of our time

German power metallers GammaRay return with their 9th studio album which finds them continuing the saga that was their 1996 album Land of the Free.

This sequel isn't so much a continuation of its predecessor, but more of homage to its sound and feel.

"Into the Storm" takes you into the belly of the beast with double kick drums and lightening-fast guitar playing. Enjoy the video..

The song Terror Train is from the Demons and Wizards album Touched by the Crimson King and is based on the Dark Tower series of books written by Stephen King, in which The Crimson King is the main antagonist (Walter, the 'Dark Man', etc.).
