I love Gamma Ray as being one of the last bastion of Epic solos in metal. I know there's a lot out there, but new waves of metal don't do solos or barely, even popular power metal bands tend to stray away from it. Here though, Kai and friends are getting wild as if it was their last day on earth. Keep rocking on Gamma Rayniacs!
How can this guy,from the begining of his carrer, write 9 to 13 minute songs and still, when you hear them, you get the impression that they last 4 to5 minutes????Excellent..EPIC!!!wow....can't believe it...Kai i thing it's time that your next album should be made only of songs like this!!!Then we will have heard it all!!!Thank you!!!
Walking through the mists again Avalon, seem caught forever I don't know where I belong Holding on and waiting Eternity, a lonely grave From the haze of time I'm calling Is our journey to begin Or am I only dreaming In a land far away from here Like a star that's blinding Heaven's magic silently appeared And I'm leaving for the dawn Is it true that I must sleep Forevermore, just watching changes Heaven knows the story is not over And the knights will gather Out in the cold, so long forgotten Leaving the past behind So timeless we're here, and we will reappear To find god From the land of make-believe Comes the faith of the unbeliever And the eyes of god have turned away From Avalon And belief is the holy grail Of the fool and the mass deceiver Turning good into evil deeds So rise from Avalon Now has come the point of no return And I'm feeling fire, fill my veins The torches starts to burn And the quest is starting It's up to you to be forgotten Saddle the horses now The mindless shall fear when we all reappear To rise up From the land of make-believe Comes the faith of the unbeliever And the eyes of god have turned away From Avalon And belief is the holy grail Of the fool and the mass deceiver Turning good into evil deeds So rise from Avalon 13 Knights to reappear Merlin can you, can you hear Can you see the past and the tomorrow Tell me can we now succeed Find the grail and turn the key Find a better future for us all Ride on out and make the world Brighter than a shiny pearl For all Heaven knows I wait for thee Give my love eternally I'm calling, calling for you on an island in the sun Only wait for things to come Never think about tomorrow Building castles in the sand Wait for you to take my hand Without fear and without sorrow From the land of make-believe Comes the faith of the unbeliever And the eyes of god have turned away From Avalon And belief is the holy grail Of the fool and the mass deceiver Turning good into evil deeds So rise from Avalon In the morning sun Our journey has begun Don't close your eyes and turn away Put and end to all the grief To the pain from the make-believe Don't close your eyes and turn away In the land of the unbeliever Tear the mask of the mass deceiver Don't close your eyes and turn away In the rays of the morning sun Our journey has begun Don't close your eyes and turn away
This has got to be one of the All Time great Metal Anthems. it ranks right up there with Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell, Judas Priest's Victim of Changes, And Iron Maiden's Hallowed be thy Name. it's that good.
Then have a listen to "I will return" in case you haven't already, IMO it's even better. This is still really good, though. Best tracks off of the disc are Avalon, Hellbent, Empire and I will return.
It is onlyy goog way of opinion bro, just scream it IT'S SECOND FREAKY BEST BAND EVER, WHO'S OTHER AND THINK IT AREN'T GOOD SHOULD DIE FROM ULTRASOUND CUTTERS CUTTOUTTA HIS MIND . I think slayer is bezzzt zappy freaky band and here we got them , andmegadeth in one place . every of heavy, trash and power have 100 percent best brains,speed and death is better than rest metal kinndda . other things except rock (not alternative) is sucking shit
So true. What I can't understand is that Kai smokes, and yet can keep belting it out like nobody's business. Kai Hansen is one badass. Keep on kicking ass, Kai!
I totally forgot about Gamma Ray after buying the copy of Land of the Free. As Helloween was forgotten after the Time of the Oath. Music of Insanity & Genius, Heading for tomorrow, Sigh no more was epical, deep and very very talanted. So now I hear that Kai with Gamma Ray step on the 'right way' again after the Land of the Free was recorded. Thank you for your music again! Let all will be better and better time after time!
This track is the best heavy metal has offered in the new decade, in my humble opinion. Helloween's albums do sound more cohesive, but as a single track, this one stands out.
This song is going to become a great Metal classic for Gamma Ray!! If the rest of album sond like this one, Empire Of The Undead is going to be among their the best album for Gamma Ray!!!
I have to admit I was worried about this album not having enough variety in it. I just got my CD and listened to it twice through, and I must say that all my worries were unfounded. THIS is classic Gamma Ray, the way it was meant to be. Lots of variance in style. They're back, and they've never sounded better! And by the way, this epic song is the PERFECT way to kick off the new album. I felt right at home the moment it started. Thank you Gamma Ray for yet another great album to put into my mix. I'm proud to have it in my collection!
Reminds me of Rebellion in Dreamland with its tempo and song structure wise. I'm sure the rest of the albums gonna get better as it goes.. Prepare to get Gamma Ray-ed this week!!
Kai Hansen was the leader and main composer of Helloween, a band that influenced all the power metal bands, including Blind Guardian and Kamelot (later).
Μαχητής Απόλυτος bullshit Blind Guardian and GammaRay sound's totally different, Gamma Ray sound's more closer to Helloween than B.G. Btw in this song sometimes i can hear a bit of Kamelot.....
WOW!! just stumbled upon this track, F**KIN Epic!! full of power & passion, defo on order list, must have!! Will be an anthem without any doubt. Rock on brothers & sisters
This is true Gamma Ray, not like the other songs I've heard on this album. If the rest is like this then it's going to be a good album but if not, then it won't be worth it.
I don't know why people are bashing the other songs... I love Master of Confusion, Empire of the undead, all of the ones I've listened! Gamma Ray is freaking Gamma Ray there isn't a song I l don't like! But that's just my opinion...
Anyone else also noticed that Avalon sounds like the world of Dark Souls? Mist (fog), Fire filling his veins, Suns, God(s) turning their eyes away (illusions). The resemblance is uncanny :D All in all, another awesome song from Gammaray! :')
Ich liebe Gamma Ray. For now and ever!!
7:45 I love that part...
Oh God, this chorus! One of the best Gamma Ray's songs ever. This and I Will Return are my favourites from this album so far.
I love Gamma Ray as being one of the last bastion of Epic solos in metal. I know there's a lot out there, but new waves of metal don't do solos or barely, even popular power metal bands tend to stray away from it.

Kai is a GOD of Power Metal! Excellent voice and superb song...
Hell Yeah. This is vintage Gamma Ray right here. Album of the year right here from the greatest metal band ever, Up the Ray's.
I a 46 years old i'm metalhead since i had 14 years, this is awesome, one of my favourite songs
Walking through the mists again
Avalon, seem caught forever
I don't know where I belong
Holding on and waiting
Eternity, a lonely grave
From the haze of time I'm calling
Is our journey to begin
Or am I only dreaming
In a land far away from here
Like a star that's blinding
Heaven's magic silently appeared
And I'm leaving for the dawn
Is it true that I must sleep
Forevermore, just watching changes
Heaven knows the story is not over
And the knights will gather
Out in the cold, so long forgotten
Leaving the past behind
So timeless we're here, and we will reappear
To find god
From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon
Now has come the point of no return
And I'm feeling fire, fill my veins
The torches starts to burn
And the quest is starting
It's up to you to be forgotten
Saddle the horses now
The mindless shall fear when we all reappear
To rise up
From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon
13 Knights to reappear
Merlin can you, can you hear
Can you see the past and the tomorrow
Tell me can we now succeed
Find the grail and turn the key
Find a better future for us all
Ride on out and make the world
Brighter than a shiny pearl
For all
Heaven knows I wait for thee
Give my love eternally
I'm calling, calling for you on an island in the sun
Only wait for things to come
Never think about tomorrow
Building castles in the sand
Wait for you to take my hand
Without fear and without sorrow
From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon
In the morning sun
Our journey has begun
Don't close your eyes and turn away
Put and end to all the grief
To the pain from the make-believe
Don't close your eyes and turn away
In the land of the unbeliever
Tear the mask of the mass deceiver
Don't close your eyes and turn away
In the rays of the morning sun
Our journey has begun
Don't close your eyes and turn away
Kai's voice at his best level!
I adore this song!
This has got to be one of the All Time great Metal Anthems. it ranks right up there with Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell, Judas Priest's Victim of Changes, And Iron Maiden's Hallowed be thy Name. it's that good.
that vocal range...unglaublich
one of the greatest song ever to be made of gamma ray
true!
Best Gamma Ray song in many years. This is a fantastic piece.
Then have a listen to "I will return" in case you haven't already, IMO it's even better. This is still really good, though. Best tracks off of the disc are Avalon, Hellbent, Empire and I will return.
joth1287 I´ve already heard the full album, but Avalon still remains as my favorite one, although I Will Returns is excellent as well.
Alexander Volg Zangief - Cool, I'm ok with that. :) Listening to it right now and really love that one as well.
Alexander Volg Zangief one of those songs that evokes a deep and uncontrollable emotional surge in me
It is onlyy goog way of opinion bro, just scream it IT'S SECOND FREAKY BEST BAND EVER, WHO'S OTHER AND THINK IT AREN'T GOOD SHOULD DIE FROM ULTRASOUND CUTTERS CUTTOUTTA HIS MIND . I think slayer is bezzzt zappy freaky band and here we got them , andmegadeth in one place . every of heavy, trash and power have 100 percent best brains,speed and death is better than rest metal kinndda . other things except rock (not alternative) is sucking shit
This is how the Ray's MUST SOUND, fuckin' EPIC
Yes, Avalon. It sounds very good. It is one of the ''big songs'' of Gamma Ray. I like it
The epic song usually looks like this.
his vocals evolved so much since helloween
So true. What I can't understand is that Kai smokes, and yet can keep belting it out like nobody's business. Kai Hansen is one badass. Keep on kicking ass, Kai!
+goopah Maybe he smokes mint or something like that?
@@bloody4558 he smokes and drinks a lot, and his voice is damaged now
Wikipedia says that he had trouble playing guitar and singing at the same time, so they hired Michael Kiske...
Gamma Ray proves that this is a lie...
@@goopah Freddie Mercury also smoked, and he sang like a god. Agree, Kai is KICKASS!
Not a big fan of Gamma Ray's recent stuff, but damn, this tune is a masterpiece.
Sylhux If you like this,you will adore gamma ray classics like "Rebellion in Dreamland","Man On a mission","Gods of delivarance"
Один из лучших альбомов!
A friend just recommended me to listen to them. I love all the songs I've heard. But this is INCREDIBLE
IT'S DIVINE. This is Gamma FUCKING Ray
I totally forgot about Gamma Ray after buying the copy of Land of the Free. As Helloween was forgotten after the Time of the Oath.
Music of Insanity & Genius, Heading for tomorrow, Sigh no more was epical, deep and very very talanted.
So now I hear that Kai with Gamma Ray step on the 'right way' again after the Land of the Free was recorded.
Thank you for your music again! Let all will be better and better time after time!

This song is going to become a great Metal classic for Gamma Ray!! If the rest of album sond like this one, Empire Of The Undead is going to be among their the best album for Gamma Ray!!!
So what with Majestic , Land of the free serie , and No world order?
Avalon and I Will Return are the best songs of this new album
One of the best songs from Gamma Ray !
I have to admit I was worried about this album not having enough variety in it. I just got my CD and listened to it twice through, and I must say that all my worries were unfounded.

What an amazing piece of art. This song is truly EPIC!
Don't close your ears, don't turn away. . . Turn away from such an amazing song!!!
Reminds me of Rebellion in Dreamland with its tempo and song structure wise. I'm sure the rest of the albums gonna get better as it goes.. Prepare to get Gamma Ray-ed this week!!
DAMN! Can't get over how awesome Kai sounds..
Kind of reminds me of Kamelot and Blind Guardian at times. This is really awesome.
More like Kamelot & Blind Guardian remind of Gamma Ray at times! ;)
-_-
Kai Hansen was the leader and main composer of Helloween, a band that influenced all the power metal bands, including Blind Guardian and Kamelot (later).
Alexandre Horbach I know lol
Μαχητής Απόλυτος bullshit Blind Guardian and GammaRay sound's totally different, Gamma Ray sound's more closer to Helloween than B.G. Btw in this song sometimes i can hear a bit of Kamelot.....
thank you Kai for being alive
I love this song a ton, but so far it's the only Gamma Ray song I can get into. I need more like this. Mystical lyrics with a dark tone to it.
Majestic!! Greetings from Brazil!
Brasil! Esperando o Gamma Ray vir pra cá de novo!
e ta aki d novo kkk
Hansen at his best. Very warm and positive yet heavy song.
Awesomeeee! Gamma Ray as always doing great songs
kai is god
WOW!! just stumbled upon this track, F**KIN Epic!! full of power & passion, defo on order list, must have!! Will be an anthem without any doubt. Rock on brothers & sisters
best song from their last album :)
This is true Gamma Ray, not like the other songs I've heard on this album. If the rest is like this then it's going to be a good album but if not, then it won't be worth it.
I absolutely agree
Check out the newest song I Will Return, it's completely awesome. Between this song and that one, I have high hopes.
EpsilonX I especially like this one. 7:45
And what about Empire of the undead, Pale rider or Born to fly? They re awesome too
best song empire's album....
Endlich wieder ein länger Song! Die Songs auf To the Metal waren einfach zu kurz! Freu mich auf das Album und auf euch Live in Bochum!
bochum!!
My favorite song this year till now...
Ein Meisterstück vom Meister of Kai und Gamma Ray
The intro makes me shiver! ... love it!
Jó kis anyag lesz ez, és ma Budapesten Gamma Ray! 21:15 kezdés!
His clean vocals are top notch.
unreal music and voice thank you Kai!
Wow!! God bless!! Rock on!!!
Bestes Album von Gamma Ray !! Haut einfach derbe rein das Teil
I don't know why people are bashing the other songs... I love Master of Confusion, Empire of the undead, all of the ones I've listened! Gamma Ray is freaking Gamma Ray there isn't a song I l don't like! But that's just my opinion...
I am the same way! I love every song! On every album! \m/

Eternity a lonely grave....From the haze of time I'm calling....
Anyone else also noticed that Avalon sounds like the world of Dark Souls? Mist (fog), Fire filling his veins, Suns, God(s) turning their eyes away (illusions).
The resemblance is uncanny :D
All in all, another awesome song from Gammaray! :')
