GAMMA RAY - The Best (Of) Album To Feature 25 Tracks Chosen By Kai Hansen; Release Slated For January 2015
December 10, 2014, 10 years ago
After eleven studio albums and the release of their most recent work, Empire Of The Undead, almost a year ago – the most successful record in the band’s history yet - Gamma Ray is gearing up for the release of a Best Of compilation through earMusic on January 30th.
According to a press release the record features a great variety of tunes, spanning from the band’s first ever album Heading For Tomorrow to highlights picked out of albums such as Powerplant and To The Metal!. The songs – all hand-picked by Kai Hansen himself – give metal fans and those to be a real cross-section of the band’s extensive work so far. This adds up to a selection of over 25 songs, all re-mastered by Eike Freese (Deep Purple). Liner notes written by Kai Hansen complete the package and give a deep insight into the work of this exceptional talent.
All Gamma Ray albums will be re-released throughout 2015, including extensive booklets and a lot of bonus materials.
The Best (Of) will be released as 2CD Standard Edition, 4-vinyl-Gatefold and as a special treat: a high-quality 2CD Limited Edition in an elaborate and exclusive leather-style package. It’s strictly limited to 10,000 units worldwide.
Gamma Ray recently released a live studio session of their new song, “Demonseed”, which is pulled from the band’s latest album, Empire Of The Undead, out now on CD, LP, Limited edition CD with extra visual content and a box that features the CD, a shirt and a poster. The new album follows the success of 'To The Metal' which brought Gamma Ray back in the highest positions of the sales charts worldwide.
