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. For those of you not familiar, GammaRay is the brainchild of former Helloween guitarist Kai Hansen. 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..

Founded in 1989 by Kai Hansen after leaving Helloween, Gamma Ray borrowed straight from the Helloween classics, and continued to pioneer Hansen’s style of power metal.

After four years with Helloween, Kai Hansen decided to leave the band at the height of their career. He then went on to do some studio work with Blind Guardian.

Kai and his friend Ralf Scheepers from Tyran’ Pace decided to start a project. They recruited bassist Uwe Wessel and drummer Mathias Burchard. The resulting sound was very close to Helloween’s power metal style.

In 1993 Uli Kusch left the band and was replaced with Thomas Nack and Jan Rubach who replaced Uwe Wessel as the new bassist.

In November the band released Land of the Free II, a follow up to the 1995 album Land Of The Free which follows the same concept, It is from this release we have the video for. Read more about Gamma Ray on Last.fm.
