Gamma Ray - Land Of The Free II

\r\nTo Be Honest I cant describe my first feelings and the huge smile on my face, after listened to the "Land Of The Free II". Rays are Back and who could believe in such a way? I Have to admit that I ve been one of those who accused him, for not being progressive. (except the "No World Order"). For many years I worship this man – Hansen is one of the biggest music personalities in metal ever!! As Progressive as he never has been before , gets the music, he created, to another dimension, and believe me, no one can do this better than Kai. After 8 years lacking of good releases in this metal genre (except some of them), this album leaving behind every cheap rip off that for years feast on this genre, and is for sure that "Land of The Free II" will make you feel rage and the will to Headbang. The Track "mother Earth" makes me wanna hear over and over again the Walls Of Jericho LP. "From The Ashes", "When The World" "Real World" the eleven minutes long monumental "Insurrection", the speed of "The Rain" and of course Hansen’s theatrical voice on "Opportunity"…
\r\nAll these create a solid album, with an extraordinary atmosphere of melodic, powerful, teutonic metal. So Fresh and melodic as never before, kai easily took the risk to continue the saga of "Land Of The Free". In the forthcoming live with Hellowen I have the feeling that they will steal the show at first and then they will leave us petrified in the front row, dreaming of the early Days\r\n
