Finalement à la deuxième et surtout troisième écoute, je trouve sympa ce titre, assez "catchy". La dernière minute est terrible. Les solos sont par contre assez horribles, j'espère que sur album, ça va rendre mieux!
Je reste mega impatient
To The Metal will be released via earMUSIC. EarMUSIC is a project of Edel.
The new Gamma Ray offering is thoroughbred and classy, fast-paced and deep, and holds a few surprises in store which distinguish the band from the mass of acts who try their hand at similar styles and sounds.
The line-up consisting of Kai Hansen (vocals/guitar), Dirk Schlächter (bass), Henjo Richter (guitar) and Daniel Zimmermann (drums) recorded a total of twelve new songs at their own studio in Hamburg in autumn 2009. Ten of them will feature on the regular album release, and two additional bonus tracks can be heard on different editions of the album, the band’s stylistic range including a full-throttle number such as ‘Rise’, the rhythmic and melodically diverse ‘Time To Live’, and the multilayered anthem ‘All You Need To Know’ (which has given rise to speculation about a spectacular guest singer), as well as the sensitive ballad ‘No Need To Cry’, composer/lyricist Dirk Schlächter’s attempt to come to terms with the untimely death of his father. Of course, there’s also the awesome title track – first introduced at the Wacken 2009 open-air and a number of festivals in Scandinavia and considered absolutely indispensible by the fans, which Gamma Ray recorded as a classic Metal track in the midtempo range, making it a real anthem.
The atmospherically dense ‘Empathy’ sees Gamma Ray prove their amazing musical potential again, which keeps manifesting itself in exceptional and eminently interesting compositions. This song includes all the features of a diverse, exciting and multi-faceted number, in other words: sweeping sounds, cool grooves, a progressive touch and then – almost as if from nowhere – a chorus which seriously bowls you over. Subsequently, the band soar up to an almost oriental-sounding solo part, changing key several times within the track.
The album will be available in four versions:
1) as a regular jewel case CD
2) as a limited edition featuring an additional DVD (including an exciting making-of)
3) as a red vinyl in gatefold packaging
4) as a collectors’ edition featuring CD and 7” vinyl with 2 unreleased tracks, completely hand-signed
The elaborate cover was designed by Herve Monjeaud, so the visual side of the new album is perfectly covered. Gamma Ray will present all this and much more from 6th February 2010, precisely one week after the release of their latest album, as part of an extensive world tour. Freedom Call had just been confirmed as special guests of the “To The Metal” tour, with Secret Sphere as support act.

Gaëtan au KIT a écrit :Y'a des sites sur internet où tu marques ce que t'as picolé et ça te dit combien de temps il te faut pour dé-saouler. Et ben des fois c'est une semaine...
"Ma mère ?! Vous voulez dire que j’aurais un ticket avec ma mère ?! Oh, dur, c’est pas le pied !
- Encore ? Mais qu'est-ce que c’est que ces histoires de pieds ? Les pieds seraient-ils le point sensible des hommes du futur ? C’est peut-être dû à un accroissement de l'apesanteur...
- Quoi ???"
According to Michael Kiske Official Fanclub, former HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske will make a guest appearance on the new GAMMA RAY album, "To The Metal". Kiske will contribute backing vocals to a chorus in one track.
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio !

Il plagie ouvertement Judas Priest et continu de faire confiance à Monjeaud et ses couleurs fluos pétantes et baveuses, que c'est laid... Gamma Ray continue de creuser sa tombe.
Ouaip, autant je trouve le choix de couleurs de Monjeaud souvent niais et "enfantin", autant je trouve le résultat global assez réussi cette fois, malgré le fluo criard qui reste de mise.

Ça faisait longtemps qu'on avait pas vu Michael Kiske invité sur un album de metal mélodique...
Même si pour le coup là ils sont réellement amis. Et des choeurs sur un refrain, autant dire que c'est rien.

C'est vrai que là, y a rien de top mis à part la première que j'aime beaucoup. Celle du vinyl est vraiment à chier. Sinon pour le titre sur le myspace c'est ni bon ni mauvais mais j'en attends pas grand chose de cet album donc je risque pas d'être déçu
Nothing evil, nothing sacred - Just a power that's been created
There to take you and possess you - Shout it out with a voice from hell
I am metal and I'll never die - We are metal and we'll never die
ce que c'est moche ce qu'il fait Monjeaud... ça passe quand il fait un truc relativement "dépouillé" mais dès que y a un peu de détail
Par contre si c'est lui pour l'édition limitée - qui est vraiment chouette - alors je comprends pas pourquoi il s'obstine avec ses couleurs de superman
Viva, viva, viva the Blues / In Aztec land they will play like gods / Viva, viva, viva the blues / The sombreros will have eyes just for them / REMEMBER... =T=
