TheRighttoRock.com has issued their latest podcast (episode #106), featuring GAMMA RAY vocalist/guitarist Kai Hansen who took time out of his busy schedule to discuss the band's current release To The Metal, as well their tour. Hansen gives the low-down on several of the tracks on the CD and more. Interview lasts approximately 25 minutes.

Epicus Records have compiled a new tribute album to HELLOWEEN and Gamma Ray called HELLORAY, due out later this year. According to a label update: "Our goal for this album was to not choose the most obvious songs like 'Ride The Sky', 'Future World' and other songs that is the first choice when bands want to cover these two great metal legends. Also many of the biggest hits have already been released on tributes. Even though we might have one or two of the biggest hits, we have managed to get a very special selection of great songs. We have songs from the year 1985 to 2007!"
