Oh it has been with Helloween for years sadly. I do love Helloween, but it's a shame he's just tossed Gamma Ray to the sidelines for this long...I thought a couple of tours and an album with Helloween would be fine, but it is what it is.

One of those bands I listened to a lot before I joined the site. Now I'm remembering how much I loved them. Top tier power metal.

Listening to Majestic in 2022 really puts it into context how very good even that album is. I might not be able to be objective with it, since it was my first Gamma Ray album when it was released. Nevertheless, it seems the band's discography is ridiculously good throughout, even outside their best albums. The variation between the songs like, for example, a fast and melodic Fight, a more radio hit style How Long, to a more punchy crowd favorite Blood Religion, and more diverse and more epic Revelation is very much intact, even when there's a ballad missing from the album. There's also this nice Egyptian theme going on here and there, another Iron Maiden/Powerslave reference possibly, and generally maybe a bit more aggressive songwriting and hoarser Kai vocals. Every decision here works and makes the album sound pretty distinctive. Heck, it seems a very strong album, even if it's never in the talks when it comes to the band's best album! The same goes with, say, Land of the Free II.

Most Gamma Ray is better than Helloween, the only great Helloween album is Walls of Jericho anyway

Perhaps a little late, but Land of the Free, Somewhere Out in Space, & Power Plant. No World Order is good too, one of my favorites from them.

Sweet! Glad to hear it, I knew they were on hiatus but am glad to hear we'll be getting new music soon. Been a fan for over 20 years! Thank you :)

To be honest, their whole discography! I am surprised that they & Helloween have so few albums available on Spotify...

very sad...I've been a fan for 25 years or so now, I have all the CDs but the ease of streaming over going to load up a CD is obviously the factor :)

The fact they only have 6 out of 11 studio albums on Spotify pains me to no end

I really like Angra's "Temple of Shadows" album, but their (former now) vocalist... well, you've got to get used to his voice (or manner). Btw. the semi-title track of this album (Temple of Hate) features Kai Hansen on guest vocals (and guitars).

Who said that Heavy Metal can't be beautiful? This song is proof that Metal is an art form.

Just found out they finally re-released Land of the Free! Awesome! Ordered it as soon as I found out. Can’t wait to revisit it for the first time in a few years.

One of the few bands where i universally prefer their live recordings over the studio versions. Though i love SoiS's production.

When the fuck are they gonna re-release Land of the Free? My copy is all scratched up, I want a new one. It's their best album, I'm not sure why they're ok with the fact that it's nearly impossible to find.

all my different tags for it on here and plays outside of last.fm are a source of frustration.
