GAMMA RAY-News
GAMMA RAY FINISH WORK ON THEIR NEW ALBUM!
Gamma Ray have  recently finished the final mixing of their new album which was recorded at  the Hansen Studios in Hamburg. The album includes 11 tracks which represent all  of the characteristic strengths of the bands musical career to date. The  album title is 'MAJESTIC' and is scheduled for a release late September. Until then the band will undetake  worldwide promotional activities and in parallel they also  have to move their Hamburg studio to a new Location because the actual  building will be completely rebuilt this summer. 

You can meet GAMMA RAY during summer at the following European  Festivals:
24.06.               Balingen, Germany, BANG YOUR HEAD Festival 
16.07.               Helsinki,   Finland, TUSKA Festival

 

The album release will be followed by a worldwide headline tour which is in the planning stage at the moment. Further to this, the Gamma  Ray website will be relaunched with a completely new design and a dedicated Fan Club member area in June. Fan Club Members who haven't received the Fan Club Newsletter in February by post and everyone who is interested in joining  the bands official Fan Club should send an email
to the new Fan Club email  address: GammaRayFC@aol.com to receive 
further information.

Here are some direct words from the band:

Dear Friends
Yes, we  know it's been a long time without any real news and visible activity from the band!
 
But, since December 2004 we have been working on the production of the new album and it was a long period of blood sweat and tears, but also  of joy and pleasure. Everyone in the band went through some personal  suffering or difficulties during this time and occasionally we had the  feeling that something or someone wanted to stop us from making this record.

Finally,  two months ago, we got the message that we had to leave our  studio complex at the end of May because some sharks bought the whole building  and had nothing more constructive in mind than kicking out all  the bands that were rehearsing there only to rebuild it into a storage  place for rich peoples dirty attorney files or whatever.....! With this in mind  it made working in a relaxed atmosphere even harder. But we could  not be stopped and fought our way through and....presto... WE MADE IT!!!

We are sure that the long wait has not been in vain and everyone's  gonna be rewarded with an album that goes beyond the expected (as always this is just our humble opinion and the rest is up to the listener).

Now we're working out the big promo and touring game plan with  Sanctuary and All Access and of course getting everything ready to move to the  new studio location which we found a few weeks ago.It is near the  old place and actually much bigger and nicer than the old one, with a waterfront  view of the river Bille, a tributary of the Elbe. When everything is ready  there's gonna be a massive party for selected friends,
fans, journalists,  musicians and so on.

We hope that you will be patient for just a little while  longer until the album is finally released and not kick our butts for  keeping you on hold for so long. We're more alive than ever and we're damn  hungry to go out on tour and get this album on to a stage
Big Cheerzzz  to you all from the Rays!!!
 
Stay tuned for more information soon ...
