Gamma Ray was the better part of the Helloween concert two years ago (the Hellish rock tour), so I'll be very happy to see them again.

They miss the UK, Holland, and the whole Scandinavia... and they came to these countries for the Hellish Tour with Helloween two years ago.
So I think there will be another part of this european tour.

Not again! Gamma Ray never play the UK, and the rare occasion they do, it's always London. I've wanted to see them for a very long time now. Doubt I ever will though...:(

Once again they forget about Poland. They've never played here and what is interesting all cools bands seems to forget about us. That's extremely sad.

Three great bands. Too bad they're missing Denmark from the looks of it. Hope they'll announce a second leg with the missing countries later

The new song "To The Metal" was played at Wacken... and unfortunately it wasn't great. Just another tedious "heavy metal" anthem, you already know what it sounds like before you've heard it.

I hope they pick the game up with the rest of the album - whenever it is released, I used to absolutely love these guys.

Agreed about "To The Metal". It was very dull. As a "heavy metal anthem", it pales next to "Heavy Metal Universe". When you've already recorded a great anthem like that, you dont need to do another, especially inferior versions of it.

"Land Of The Free II" is the worst album they've ever done, so I really hope the next one is better.

Gamma Ray are one of my fave bands, so it makes me sad when they release sub-standard material. I even loved ''Majestic''. which I know some fans didn't like. But LOTF 2 was mostly just uninspired, and not a very exciting listen. I'm just hoping "To The Metal" isn't an indication of what the new album is going to be like. With any luck, it'll just be a poor track on a great album, but I definitely have my doubts...

As for the tour, when Helloween finally played here on "The Legacy" tour, I had high hopes for them coming back on the next tour. But they didn't, they just played London, and to make it even worse, they had Gamma Ray as support! I still really want to see Gamma Ray live, even if the quality of recent material hasn't been very good.

Yup I agree with you and it sucks they don't come out your way.

I've already seen Gamma Ray live three times, and interviewed them (with Jeff from this website), and seen Freedom Call live once. I'm not going to travel for this tour... I'm sure I'll bump into them at some festival down the line again.

Secret Sphere sucks.
Freedom Call sucks after "Eternity".

And if "To The Metal" is a hint at how the next album will sound, Gamma Ray will start to suck also.

I saw them in Gothenburg, they were awesome! Freedom Call is also one of my favorite bands so it was great that they also joined the tour.
