16:53 - EMols86 @Jaeryd17 First time you saw them live? Last time I saw them they didn't play any heavy songs, at least not songs with growls. Which songs did they play?
16:20 - BoxCar Willy I'm fairly certain it's a pun, and I'm fairly certain you're an illiterate butcher of the English language.
15:03 - Cynic Metalhead From the review of Kylsea's Ultraviolet : ""If you don't like this pun you can F.O.A.D because it's brilliant." What? it's not even a pun. stupid SoxCar Silly.
13:22 - Zaphod @Lit. And yet people keep giving them attention...
12:13 - Jaeryd17 Just got back from the Opeth concert in Tucson, AZ. Good good good good good good. Good.
10:16 - Spirit Molecule Cool review Willy, I'm still giving the album a couple more spins online. I think there are some cool parts but overall it didn't do much for me. But heck, the production is awesome. Got this nice big sound with all the layers
Gamma Ray's upcoming album To The Metal will be released via earMUSIC on January, 29th 2010. EarMUSIC is a project of Edel.
The new Gamma Ray offering is thoroughbred and classy, fast-paced and deep, and holds a few surprises in store which distinguish the band from the mass of acts who try their hand at similar styles and sounds.
The line-up consisting of Kai Hansen (vocals/guitar), Dirk Schlächter (bass), Henjo Richter (guitar) and Daniel Zimmermann (drums) recorded a total of twelve new songs at their own studio in Hamburg in autumn 2009. Ten of them will feature on the regular album release, and two additional bonus tracks can be heard on different editions of the album, the band's stylistic range including a full-throttle number such as "Rise", the rhythmic and melodically diverse "Time To Live", and the multilayered anthem "All You Need To Know" (which has given rise to speculation about a spectacular guest singer), as well as the sensitive ballad "No Need To Cry", composer/lyricist Dirk Schlächter's attempt to come to terms with the untimely death of his father. Of course, there's also the awesome title track - first introduced at the Wacken 2009 open-air and a number of festivals in Scandinavia and considered absolutely indispensible by the fans, which Gamma Ray recorded as a classic Metal track in the midtempo range, making it a real anthem.
