樂團BIO

打造出跨世代經典「Walls Of Jericho」，

和「Keeper Of The Seven Keys I&II」的偉大音樂人Kai Hansen，

不但帶領著Helloween攀上事業巔峰，

更直接影響了整個歐陸金屬樂壇的未來走向。






另外所籌組的Gamma Ray依舊秉持發揚"為金屬而金屬"的信念，

一路走來從未動搖過且打造多張頂尖傑作，

成為眾多新起之輩必定師法尊敬的對象！






擁有Power Metal所有訴求的Gamma Ray，

其威嚴的日爾曼合唱、流暢又快速的旋律，

以及高亢飆音等等元素，

都是讓樂迷們死忠追隨的重要關鍵，

若將靈魂主腦Kai拱為德意志的金屬守護神，

確實一點也不足為過。





創團初期請來Ralf Scheepers擔任主唱的「Heading For Tomorrow(1990)」、

「Sigh No More(1991)」、「Insanity & Genius(1993)」三張專輯，

替樂團留下不凡戰績，也令聲勢迅速追平Helloween與Blind Guardian！

到了1995年Kai重新執掌主唱兼吉他手大任，

發行獲得專業音樂網站AMG四顆半星，

近乎滿分超高評價的「Land Of The Free」，

順利超越過往自己所締造的種種各項紀錄，

更促使腳步跨出家鄉登上國際舞台。






爾後Gamma Ray保持滿載著川流不息的熱力與活力，

陸續繳交多張漂亮成績單，

儘管面臨世代交替之時刻，

卻還是能以無堅不摧的姿態一路勇猛闖蕩。

感想

Gamma Ray，

一支來自德國的力金樂團，

由SPEED/POWER METAL教父KAI HANSEN所建立，

其實力，與Helloween並駕齊驅。






說到德國的力金，

絕大多數的人都會想起Helloween，

畢竟他們在德國的力金史上，

真的佔有無可取代的地位，

但是相較之下，

Gamma Ray他們用一種更為新的風格，

來詮釋力量金屬這種樂風。





Gamma Ray的主唱，

是屬於傳統的歐洲主唱，

聲音的音域屬於比較細，

所以在高音的部分可以很漂亮且迎刃有餘的詮釋，

在吉他的部分，

強烈的節奏，速度與技巧兼備的solo，

讓人光從前奏部分聽起來就已經熱血沸騰了，

怎麼能讓人不愛不釋手呢。

貝斯部分，

速度感有出來，

且每個音符部分皆很乾淨，

因為對於貝斯比較不熟悉，

其中的技巧並不是非常了解，

鼓的部分，

穩健的雙踏，

每個音都很乾淨且很準確，

讓人聽起來感覺非常得舒服。





德國的力金團中，

除了小弟的愛團Primal Fear以外，

應該就屬Gamma Ray是屬於小弟比較喜愛的團了，

對於力金有喜好的朋友們，

千萬不要錯過。

推薦歌曲：To The Metal, Real World,  Into The Storm, From The Ashes, Heaven or hell





Gamma Ray - Heaven or hell

Where will I go now? It's all over

Where will I be now? All is said and done

Here comes the time, prepare for justice

Seems like my final journey has begun

Riding on the wind, there's only one place left to go

Take me to my afterlife high up or down below

Heaven or Hell

Where do we go when we are leaving?

Heaven or Hell

Whatever comes to set us free

Heaven or Hell

I've gone a long way and I see there's no wishing well

The choice is made, it's Heaven or Hell

I'm not the one who was expected, so I'll return and be from heaven sent

I'm gonna get myself elected and now I wanna be the president

"Viva el Presidente"

Master of the Damned - I'll be the savior of you all

Take me as a Holy God to save you from the fall

Heaven or Hell

Where is my final destination?

Heaven or Hell

Whatever comes to set us free

Heaven or Hell

We've gone a long way and we see there's no wishing well

The choice is made, it's Heaven or Hell

Master of the Damned, I'll be the savior of you all

I'm your revelation, I'm a walking miracle

Heaven or Hell

What is our final destination?

Heaven or Hell

Where do we go from here?

Heaven or Hell

We've gone a long way and we see there's no wishing well

The choice is made, it's Heaven or Hell

Heaven or Hell! It's Heaven or Hell

There's no wishing well - it's Heaven or Hell
