2010 album from one of the most respected and influential German Heavy Metal bands in the world. Gamma Ray is fronted by lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Kai Hansen (founding member of Helloween). It would be a capital mistake not to acknowledge the importance of the remaining band members: Dirk Schl„chter on bass, Henjo Richter who provides great guitar solos and evocative keyboard parts and Dan Zimmermann, a real thunder on drums. To The Metal was recorded and produced in Hamburg, Germany - the band's home-town. Gamma Ray approached the songwriting and production on the new record is with a fresh approach and an energy that you would normally find in bands releasing their first records. To The Metal is their 10th studio album in 21 years of world-wide success and a real diamond in their Metal history. Earmusic.
