The Scheepers era (1989–1995)
The original line-up released the album Heading for Tomorrow in February 1990 and, later that year, the Heaven Can Wait EP, with new guitarist Dirk Schlächter and new drummer Uli Kusch.
In February 1991, the band began rehearsing for the recording of their second album in a small, remote house in Denmark. With some brand new songs written, Gamma Ray entered the studio under the supervision of producer Tommy Newton and recorded their second album Sigh No More, which was released in September 1991. The style differed vastly from that of Heading for Tomorrow, featuring darker lyrics inspired by the Persian Gulf War that was raging at the time. A 50-date worldwide tour followed.
After the Japanese tour at the beginning of 1991, Gamma Ray underwent another personnel change: the rhythm section (Wessel and Kusch) left due to a personal disagreement and were replaced by Jan Rubach (bass) and Thomas Nack (drums), both from the Hamburg band Anesthesia. The band also began to build their own studio, so work on their new album did not start until 1993. The album Insanity and Genius was released in June 1993, with a style which was closer to that of Heading for Tomorrow than Sigh No More. In September 1993 Gamma Ray, along with Rage, Helicon and Conception, embarked on the Melodic Metal Strikes Back tour. The tour contributed to the release of the double CD Power of Metal, and the videos Power of Metal and Lust for Live, in December.
Land of the Free to Majestic (1995–2006)
More changes in the line-up were to follow for Gamma Ray. Vocalist Ralf Scheepers, who lived far away from the other band members hometown of Hamburg, was attempting to become the new Judas Priest singer after Rob Halford left. He felt that his position in the band had been strained due to the distance between him and the other members. Hansen and Scheepers agreed to an amicable departure. After failing to be recruited for Judas Priest, Scheepers started his own band, Primal Fear.
Hansen said in an interview 1999 about why Scheepers left: There were two main reasons. One was after the first three Gamma Ray albums we said - now we want to do a really, really good album, something really killer. But Ralf was not living in Hamburg, he was living 700km away from here. For that reason he only came up for a while for rehearsal or for the recordings. But to do an album which was really good we needed him there constantly. In years before we had been talking about him moving to Hamburg but at that time he still had a job going on...he still does and he's never going to leave it somehow. He could not really make up his mind to move to Hamburg and there was one problem with that because when we wrote the songs I was always trying to think of his voice but on the other hand it would have been a lot better if he write his own vocal lines, melodies and lyrics. When he came to Hamburg most of the times I was singing in the rehearsal room when he was not there and I was singing on my demos so it was like everything was more or less fixed and he could not really change it. We wanted that to change, therefore we wanted him to move to Hamburg, he could not make up his mind. Then we said either you do it or you die somehow you know...like putting the pistol to his chest. Well....on the other hand he had this Judas Priest thing going on. He wanted to be given a chance. I was the idiot who told him maybe for fun just try it out when it was clear they were searching for a singer because Judas Priest was always his favorite band. We were thinking about him doing the Gamma Ray album and then going to Judas Priest. All in all it led to the point where we said we'd rather split our ways at that point because it doesn't make sense to go on like that.
Hansen then began to search for a new vocalist but, due to demand from friends and fans, took on the guitar-vocal duties himself as he had done for Helloween's first EP and album.
In a 2008 interview, Hansen spoke about the importance of the Land of the Free album and what it represented: We made it exactly at a time point when this kind of metal was proclaimed to be dead as can be. Where it was almost like if a drummer came up with a double bass drum people would say 'ya dooga daga yourself out of here man.' Everything was ruled by Kurt Cobain and the alternative to the alternative and all that kind of stuff. So at that point we made an album like this and it went down very successful. That was cool, that was something special. I think it was the album that gave Gamma Ray the acceptance as being a band not only a Kai Hansen project.
In 1995 the fourth album, Land of the Free, the first to feature Hansen on vocals, was released. The album was praised by critics and fans alike. The tour following the album, Men on a Tour, brought the recording and release of the live album Alive '95 in 1996.
Soon after, there was yet another major lineup change. Jan Rubach and Thomas Nack both left in order to return to Anesthesia and in came new drummer Dan Zimmermann. Zimmerman is also known for being a founding member of the German power metal band Freedom Call. Schlächter, who was originally a bass player, as can be seen on the 1990 video Heading for the East, left the second guitar spot and took back his original instrument, being replaced on guitar by Henjo Richter.
Work started on the next album, and 1997 saw the release of Somewhere Out in Space, which marked the beginning of the band's thematic concentration on space. The album featured the hit "Valley of the Kings" and entered in the charts of many European countries. After two years of touring came the album Power Plant, which was a continuation of Somewhere Out in Space's lyrical approach, but a new direction musically. The album was highly acclaimed throughout the world and gained even more chart success than its predecessor.
For Gamma Ray's next work, Hansen decided to do things differently from the usual compilation of songs. He let the fans decide by voting on their website for their three favorite songs on each album, then the band went back to the studio to re-record the old tracks from the first three albums and made remixed versions for the songs on the later ones. Blast from the Past was the name chosen for this double album.
After a break of one year, when Hansen concentrated on his side project Iron Savior, the band was ready for the recording and release of the album No World Order!, which was stylistically similar to NWOBHM bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. Again, the album was highly praised and the No Order World Tour saw the band visiting dozens of European countries and Japan. After resting from the tour, the band went on with the Skeletons in the Closet tour, which saw the band performing songs that they never or rarely played live before. Once again, the setlist was voted by the fans on the band's website. Only a few shows were played on this tour but two of those were recorded for the live album Skeletons in the Closet.
Kai Hansen and Henjo Richter also participated in Tobias Sammet's project Avantasia, on both The Metal Opera and The Metal Opera Pt. II, along with various other musicians including Hansen's former bandmates from Helloween, Markus Grosskopf and Michael Kiske.
A live DVD, Hell Yeah The Awesome Foursome Live in Montreal was recorded on 6 May 2006 at Le Medley in Montreal, Quebec. The setlist contained songs drawn from all of their albums up to Majestic (excluding Insanity and Genius) and also a cover of the Helloween hit "I Want Out". The DVD finally saw release on 4 November 2008. It entered the German media control charts at No. 9 and the Swedish charts at No. 1, according to the band's official website.
Land of the Free II to Empire of the Undead (2007–2014)
In recent years, Gamma Ray have made use of touring keyboard players to fully augment their sound in a live environment. Axel Mackenrott of Masterplan fulfilled these duties in the past and was followed by Eero Kaukomies, a Finn who also plays in a Gamma Ray tribute band named Guardians of Mankind. His bandmate Kasperi Heikkinen also played on part of the Majestic tour in 2006 following an injury to Henjo Richter. On their most recent "To The Metal" tour, Kasperi Heikkinen replaced Henjo Richter once again for shows scheduled in Germany and Czech Republic in March 2010. Richter was hospitalized on 16 March 2010 due to retinal detachment. Heikkinen also shared stage with fellow axemen Hansen and Richter making "a three guitar special" for the encore numbers at the Nosturi club in Helsinki, Finland on 29 March 2010.
Land of the Free II was released in late 2007 as a sequel to the hugely successful Land of the Free album. To promote the album, Gamma Ray were the "very special guest" on Helloween's Hellish Rock 2007/2008 World Tour, on some shows along with the band Axxis. For the final encores of the evening, Hansen and members of Gamma Ray joined Helloween to play a couple of songs from when he was in the latter band. Hansen would also regularly join Helloween co-founder Michael Weikath at center stage to the delight of fans of both bands.
To the Metal! was released as the tenth studio album by the band. It was released on 29 January 2010 to modest critical praise, but disappointed some fans, who felt that it was uninspired and a weaker effort than Land of the Free II. On 31 May 2011, Gamma Ray released an EP entitled Skeletons and Majesties. It contains newly recorded, rarely played material (Skeletons) and acoustic versions of other older songs (Majesties). Hansen stated in an interview in February 2012 that he expected the next Gamma Ray album to be released in January 2013. On 1 September 2012, the band announced Michael Ehré as their new drummer, replacing Daniel Zimmermann who chose to retire after 15 years of band activity.
Kai Hansen revealed, in an interview with Metal Blast in April 2013 that their eleventh album, Empire of the Undead would have a "more thrashy" sound. In the same interview, Dirk Schlächter announced that the band would do a headlining tour following its release. Empire of the Undead was released in March 2014, despite Gamma Ray's studio being completely destroyed by a fire.
Additional vocalist and new album (2015–present)
In October 2015, it was announced that Frank Beck would be a new lead vocalist of Gamma Ray, in addition to Hansen. This was due to Hansen's degrading vocals due to lengthy tour schedules, as well as Hansen's desire to have more freedom onstage. On 10 August 2017, the band announced that they would be releasing a 25th anniversary edition of Land of the Free. In June 2021, on the Scars and Guitars podcast, Kai Hansen stated that despite his reunion with Helloween, he is not letting Gamma Ray die, and that he is preparing material for a new album to be tentatively released in 2022.

Somewhere Out In Space
Gamma Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out in a journey, on a mission for the human race
Terrified. I had to realize that I've been takin' to the goods of fire
I got nowhere to stand, 'cause I'm a running man, to get away
All that I see is the years, somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
Been sinking in sorrow, but now I'm gonna rise
No more reasons why
I'm a watcher in the dark, I'm so cold inside my heart
I'm a temple in the storm, and I'm bound to be reborn
Take me down to the underground, let me see the gods of fire
'Cause I'm know where they live and I know where they stand,
Another reason there to leave
Take me down, take me down, take me to the underground
I want to meet the gods of fire
And all of their intention is the center of it all
All that I see is the years ... somewhere out in space
and it's time for deliverance
Now that I know I've got to get away
Time for deliverance now
And as the sun appeared, up in the sky
I saw another day,that's drifting by
I saw my people cry, a million tears
Into eternity they disappeared
Now it's time to say goodbye, or we will sink in sorrow
No, we don't know the reason why, another day, tomorrow
Oh, thank you for giving me hope
Oh, follow me into a new life
All that I see is the years, all that I see is the tears
All that I see is the years, somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
All that I see is the fear, somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
I want to know how to get away, I want to know how to get away
Come set me free, just set me free, just let me go
I want to get away, get away
Somewhere out in space
The lyrics to Gamma Ray's Somewhere Out in Space describe a journey through space that is filled with illusions and fear. The singer is on a mission for the human race but finds himself trapped in a castle of illusions. He is running away from the terrors of the gods of fire and is seeking deliverance. As he gains the courage to face his fears, he realizes that he is a temple in the storm and is bound to be reborn. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer seeing the sun and a new day rising, and thanking someone for giving him hope.
The journey through space in the song may represent a metaphor for the human struggle to find purpose and meaning in life. The illusions and fears that the singer faces could be seen as the obstacles that often hold people back from achieving their goals. The gods of fire could represent the destructive forces that people must overcome in order to succeed. The singer's journey towards deliverance and rebirth can be seen as a metaphor for the process of personal growth and transformation.

Men, Martians and Machines
From out of space we came on to the earth
From far away on solar beams
A dying race to find survival here
For our kind to plant our seeds
Our analysis of the atmosphere
Was good and so we touched the ground
A rising simple structured life form there
Seemed to be perfect what we'd found
We think in anger of our fallin dream
Our home is now a fading light
The cracks appeared and they where pointing at the end
And so we came to save our lives
Men, Martians and Machines
You were to young to understand our plans
To see the things up in the sky
We were the gods and we have taught you well
And so we found eternal life
We gained control upon our destiny
Our ships were flying everywhere
The cracks appeared our plan was bound to fail again
And now the circle's closing in
Men, Martians and Machines
We can't control our human sacrifice
Again we fear for our lives
The cracks appeared our brains start to distort again
Now we gonna say goodbye

Pray
So here we stand again
Like dust on mother earth
And we hide our faces in our dreams
Only emptiness where angels flew - high on golden wings
And the voice of god has vanished now - lost inside our dreams
But the only way to go is heaven
All we can do is pray
In the darkness we stand with the world in our hands
And we pray
For a better tomorrow
We wait
Far beyond the horizon
There's a sound in the sky
The voice of glory I hear a silent cry
When the heroes of yesterday are gone
All we can do is pray
In the darkness we hide and we wait for the light
And we pray
Oh we pray
Let us pray
I've seen the darkside of the moon in my dreams
Now I know it ain't a place to live for us all
All our gods creation is dead an gone
Now we stand like children all alone forever
All we can do is pray
Forever and forever and forever more
For a better tomorrow - we wait
Pray
There's a light in the dark
And it's shining so bright on our way
Still there is hope on our way
And we pray
Oh, pray

Watcher in the Sky
I'm watching the mountains I'm watching the sea
Observing the creatures I am lost - set me free
Across the heavens I made my way
I've seen empires rise and blown away
I have arrived at my destiny but after all
there's just emptiness in me
Out in the darkness - I am going mad
Where are the others - there's silence in my head
`Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I am lost in time
Watcher in the sky
I'm trapped in this nightmare
Endless tortures and pain, milleniums have gone by
Uhhh, it drives me insane
Who am I now?
I'm not man - I'm not machine
I gave my life away for the Iron Savior dream
`Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I am lost in time
Watcher in the sky
(Piet) Hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial means
Ripped out of my body
I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual? - am I devine?
I'm a watcher in the sky
My soul has drowned in the tears I cannot cry
I'm the watcher the chosen one but I am lost in time
I'm a watcher in the sky I've seen the years go by
I am the chosen one
Out in the cold my systems overload and I am lost in time
Watcher in the sky
Watching the mountains, watching the sea, watching the creatures
You'll never be free
Watcher in the sky

No Stranger ( Another day in Life)
I see a hole in the sky
But don't ask me why I'm so down and lonely
No one will understand why
There's a voice in my head
And I know it's the only
I see the children play, with fire in their eyes
And when the day begins
... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
Days full of joy
Are drivin' down the pain
Into the sun, a mother's son
Is just about to fly
I see the morning come, with fire in my eyes
And when the day begins
... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall
I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
I see the morning come, with fire in the sky
And now the day begins
... another day in life
I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall
I'm no stranger to myself
I see horizons in my sky
'Cause I'm no stranger to myself
No, no I'm no stranger to myself

The Winged Horse
In a land, far beyond the sun
Rules the darkness, faceless magician
Black towers which raise into the sky
Castle of tears, shadows passing by
Blood is covering the mighty walls
Of those who lost their skin and bones
No one ever saw the light
Oh, slaves of the night
There's a young man, chained on a stake
Liveless body, he has no strength to break
His shirt is bloody, his head is hanging down
He's meant to die, the ruler took his crown
The wind howles through the emptiness
A different sound as in the past
Screaming echoes in the lanes
Oh, victims of the pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to break the chains
The winged horse lands by the one
It snorts and stamps, the escape has just begun
The chains are broken, silence fills the place
He backs the horse with his last ounce of strength
The white horse rears and spreads its wings
To reach the sky and search the kings
The one will lead to win at last
Oh, rulers of the past
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to free the land
The white horse rears and spreads...
The kings return, armed with mighty swords
To retake the land and banish evil thoughts
They fight against the shadows,
captured souls of the dark might
Dethrone the evil ruler to bring sun to the night
The battle takes a heavy toll
But they achieve what they're fighting for
Now the land is free again
Oh, no more blood and pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky
Light refract the dark and fills the place
White winged horse, such a powerful force
Gallops through the sky to free the land
But still at night when darkness rules again
Whispering shadows creeping through the lanes
Evil creatures of the expelled magician
Oh, it's a fight you'll never win

We drive, we drive, we're riding on through the universe
We've come to reach our destination planet earth
We come, we run, you cannot see us, flying in our

We explore and we all know what this is about

So many light years we have travelled far from home
Someday we'll be there I know
Shine on, Rising star
We travelled such a long way
But still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising star

Living was torture and dying release
A declining world, no future, no hope
We were passing the point of no return
So many light years, still we travel on and on
And someday we will call you home
Shine on, Rising Star
Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising Star
Forever light the darkness in our hearts

Someday we will call you home
Shine on, Rising Star
We travelled such a long way
but still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising Star
Forever light the darkness

Shadows in the darkness, so far away from home
Standing all alone, noone there beside me
Shadows all around, so far away from home
I know I'm not alone, it seems we're lost in space and time
Shine on
Shine on now, and warm the tears
we've shared through years
It's our prison, final reason for the freedom
and the glory that we feel
Are you for real?
Shine on, Rising Star
Diamond in the distance
Still you seem so far
Shine on, Rising Star
Forever light the darkness
in our hearts

Valley of the Kings
Father can you hear me, did you talk to mother earth
What did they say, what did they see, now ... is it time for your rebirth?
Open up the silent center of your mind,
I now want to know the future of your kind
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods return to fight, for the future of their lives
In the valley of the kings
Oh mother do you hear me, did you talk to father moon
I don't want to leave my brothers in this temple of their doom
Open up the silent center of your mind,
I now want to know the future of your kind
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings
Ra vite, deus sanktus, ra vite
Ra vite,revertate, ra vite
Oh mother earth do you believe there is a place for us to go
Come set us free again and let us fly away and give us hope
There'll be a time for us to fly to our thrones up in the sky
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings

Somewhere out in Space
I'm trapped in a castle of illusions out in space, - no more illusions -
Out on a journey, on a mission for the human race
Terrified, I had to realize that I've been talkin' to the gods of fire
I got nowhere to stand, 'cause I'm a running man... to get away
All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
Tomorrow, I'll see it, another day's rise ... right before my eyes
Been sinking in sorrow, but now I'm gonna rise
No more reasons why
I'm a watcher in the dark, I'm so cold inside my heart
I'm a temple in the storm, and I'm bound to be reborn
Take me down to the underground, let me see the gods of fire
'Cause I know where they live and I know where they stand,
Another reason there to leave
Take me down, take me down, take me to the underground
I wanna meet the gods of fire
And all of their intention is the center of it all
All that I see is the years ... somewhere out in space
and it's time for deliverance
Now that I know I've got to get away
Time for deliverance now
And as the sun appeared, up in the sky
I saw another day, that's drifting by
I saw my people cry, a million tears
Into eternity they disappeared
Now it's time to say goodbye, or we will sink in sorrow
No, we don't know the reason why, another day, tomorrow
Oh, I thank you for giving me hope
Oh, follow me into a new life
All that I see is the years, all that I see is the tears
All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
All that I see is the fear... somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
I wanna know how to get away, I wanna know how to get away
Come set me free, just set me free, just let me go
I wanna get away, get away
Somewhere out in space

Beyond the Black Hole
I have come from so far away
From the sunlight of my home
And I have seen it's the only way
Now my sun is dead and gone
I raise my head in silent anger
Seems there is no place for me
The only way out is to go
Where no one's gone before
Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time
Another universe is mine
And I can't wait until tomorrow
Ride - There's a call from deep within
No I won't return again
`Cause I will dive into the black hole
Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back
Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh ...
Thunder and lightning and fire
Are guiding the trip of my life
Insatiable burning desire
As into the unknown I dive
I raise my head in silent anger
Seems there is no place for me
The only way out is to go
Where no one's gone before
Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time
Another universe is mine
And I can't wait until tomorrow
Ride - There is a call from deep within
I know I won't return again
`Cause I will dive into the black hole
Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back
Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait
There was a trigger, for my decision
It's right behind my eyes
Into the darkness of my vision
I let my spirit rise
I wanna see the black hole, into the dark
I wanna dive into the black hole, down into the dark
Into the black hole, into the dark
Into the spiral, Into the dark, the dark, the dark
If there's a possible chance for something that can be
Called future behind the spiral
The only way to find out, is to leave the final frontier
To eternity and fly
I will fly - Beyond the gates of space and time
I leave the universe behind
And I can't wait until tomorrow
Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time
I know the universe is mine
`Cause I will dive into the black hole
Ride - And there's a call from deep within
I know I won't return again
`Cause I will dive into the black hole
Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back
Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back
Oh, oh, oh, don't wait

The Landing
High in the machines
Above the earth
We observe your lifeform
We've come for you
Riding the machines
We'll take your souls
Riding the machines
We've come to rule
About 400,000 years ago
When evolution was still on the make
An extraterrestrial race
Appeared in our part of the galaxy
Heading straight to earth
Riding the machines
We'll take your souls
Riding the machines
We've come for you
When they finally landed
They found a planet with perfect survival conditions
A lower lifeform called humans
Considered them as gods
From somewhere out of space

ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΥΠΟΛΗ=ΔΥΟ ΧΙΛΙΑΔΕΣ ΕΙΚΟΣΙ ΔΥΟ=223 (ΑΝΑΛΟΓΙΚΟΣ ΛΕΞΑΡΙΘΜΟΣ)
Γράφει ο Δρ. Κωνσταντίνος Βαρδάκας
Ο μεγάλος άγιος της Αμερικής ολοζώντανος στα κρίσιμα αυτά 24ωρα μας.
Η Παρρησία του γνωστή γιατί μας έζησε , μας πόνεσε , μας νουθέτησε και σήμερα μας ενισχύει με τις πολύτιμες πρεσβείες του ενώπιον του Ουράνιου Θυσιαστηρίου.
Αυτή η πληροφορία μας ήρθε πρωί- πρωί και παρακαλούμε να την αξιολογήσετε και να την διαχειριστείτε με σεβασμό και σοβαρότητα.
Λίγες μέρες πριν εκδημήσει ένα πνευματικό παιδί του Οσίου Γέροντα Εφραίμ του Αριζονίτη του παρουσιάστηκε και του διαμήνυσε:
“ανήγγειλε αδελφέ στους Πατέρες ότι ο μεγάλος πόλεμος μέσα στο 22 θα τα αλλάξει όλα”
” και θα οδηγήσει πολλούς σε μετάνοια, η μετάνοια είναι το διαβατήριο”
ΕΔΩ τι να προσθέσουμε άλλο αδελφοί παρά μόνο να αντιληφθούμε το μέγεθος της άφατης Φιλανθρωπίας του ΑΓΙΟΥ ΤΡΙΑΔΙΚΟΥ ΘΕΟΥ που τους καιρούς μας τους στόλισε με τέτοιους αγίους που ολοζώντανα παρουσιάζονται νουθετούν και μας ειδοποιούν.
Πως να μην θυμηθούμε αδελφοί το συγκλονιστικό γεγονός που επισημάναμε και καταγράψαμε ανήμερα της Εκδημίας του Οσίου Γέροντα Εφραίμ την Κυριακή της 8 Δεκεμβρίου του 2019 όταν λίγες μέρες πριν αναχωρήσει εις τας Ουρανίους Μονάς είπε σε πνευματικό του παιδί .
– παιδί μου δεν θα προλάβω την ΠΟΛΗ
– γιατί παιδί μου θα κοιμηθώ στην αρχή των γεγονότων για την ΠΟΛΗ .
βλ. σύνδεσμο https://konstantinoupolipothoumeno.blogspot.com/2019/12/blog-post_8.html
και τι έγινε αδελφοί από εκείνη την ορόσημο ημερομηνία ;
Παγκόσμιοι λιμοί , κυνηγητό της Ορθοδοξίας και των πιστών της και σήμερα βρισκόμαστε ενώπιον παγκόσμιων πολεμικών αναμετρήσεων και λιμών
(πείνας και επισιτιστικής κρίσης ) αλλά και προφητευόμενων γεγονότων που εστιάζουν την εξέλιξη τους στην περιοχή μας που σχετίζεται με τα ΣΤΕΝΑ του Βοσπόρου και την Κωνσταντινούπολη.

Mi album favorito de Gamma Ray!
@tonyshiakallis7878
A moment of silence, for all those unfortunate never to have heard this album.
A one in a million album, that can never be touched. The word masterpiece fits it so perfectly, it has everything, everything you could ever wish for.
@miroslavknap266
Hey man 🙂 I just started to listening to this album so I hope your words are true ☺️ ,but I would love to recommend super underrated band in my opinion Dionysus which at least for me is whole package band which means great lyrics ,amazing musicians who are masterts at their instruments and are perfect at holding tempo and timing, very original song constuction for Power metal band and last but not least main singer vocals are brilliant 🥰, all of their albums are amazing but if you want start with Anima Mundi which is a great introduction 🙂
@LucasSeman
@Miroslav Knap Anima Mundi is amazing indeed!! I recommend "dust To dust" by Heavenly
@malawigw
I know people who call themselves powermetal fans and they did not even know this album existed! DAMN POSERS! This album is legendary, it is beyond the black hole!
@MegaMicah12
@Glenn Wouda I think it's mostly because Land of The Free overshadows sooooo much of GR's work, despite the fact the three albums after it are also incredible.
@spirosliatas8531
I heard it live, shortly after it’s release! The same with “land of the free” !
Live of gamma ray is an ultimate atmosphere!
I still have the pick from Kai Hansen 🎉
@arther8159
This album brought me into Heavy Metal. It is how it all started for me. I can't believe it's really already 26 years ago...
@danielvieira2411
masterpiece. sadly it isn't on spotify
@MegaMicah12
Amazon music for some reason is the only place with almost all of Gamma ray's discography (aside from the Majestic album that is).
