GAMMA RAY – 30 Years Live Anniversary (2021)

Germany’s power / melodic metal institution GAMMA RAY celebrated their anniversary in 2020.

Now it’s all available via “30 Years Live Anniversary“, where the band founded by Kai Hansen delivers fresh version of their classics, performed with energy and passion, and perfectly recorded, mixed & produced.
’30 Years Live Anniversary’ is a great summary of what Gamma Ray achieved in three decades, an album that features classics of German metal from a band that surely belongs to the spearhead of the genre.
