Gamma Ray, one of the premiere German Power Metal bands of all time, led by mastermind guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen, is at it again with their 11^th studio release entitled Empire Of The Undead. While their main “competitor” in Germany’s Power Metal scene (Helloween) continues to stay pretty true to form with their musical approach, Gamma Ray has opted to be a bit more Melodic and Traditional in their Metal approach vs. straight Power Metal. By and large it works, although Hansen has a tendency to get a little ludicrous with his messages. Still, a strong effort and worth checking out.

Based out of Indianapolis, USA he was first turned on to Hard Rock music in the mid-1970s when he purchased Deep Purple's Machine Head as his first album. He was immediately enthralled with the powerful guitar sound and pronounced drumbeat, and had to get more! His collection quickly expanded to include as many of Heavy Rock bands of the time that he could get his hands on, such as Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, to name just a few.
