Helloween & Gamma Ray

[Yax]

I always preferred Gamma Ray even tho i love early Helloween, i hope there will be new material soon.

There will be a new Helloween record in 2025. https://blabbermouth.net/news/helloween-to-release-new-studio-album-in-2025

It's all about what Kai Hansen's was looking for and has totally been : atmospheric.

More seriously, this is an interesting column about meteorology and, in some way, astrophysics.

Overlooked Weather Phenomenon Produces Gamma Rays in Our Atmosphere

The electrical effects of a thunderstorm are not confined just to high up in the atmosphere.

Great news. Now I understand why the pro-shot videos from Budokan were taken down.
The band sounds great live. Too bad they didn't play more new songs. I thought they wouldn't release a live concert so soon after the Reunion tour, but it makes sense because this is the tour for their Reunion album.

Isn't the setlist 3 songs shorter than their usual number of songs for this tour? ''Best Time'' sounds good live. But isn't the rhythm section a bit louder in the production?

The album cover is a nice idea - but it would definitely be better if it was colored.

Is any work actually happening on a new Gamma Ray album? It's been 10 years since their last one, and half the band members went off and made multiple other albums in the meantime. Seems like Kai is totally focused on the money maker right now, which is the kitchen sink version of Helloween. I assumed Gamma Ray was dead in the water.

Kai said they were working on it and have done some live shows this year, but idk. His main priority is Helloween (who are in their best formation now imo), but if he does some other projects in the meantime, then Gamma Ray will sadly only be a live band, I guess. But Kai is not the singer, so...

It would be 'Live at the Gym' according to Bruce Dickinson

New live video. The awesome Eagle!

Helloween have announced a 40th anniversary tour for next year. I assume tied with the upcoming new album.

I hope they mix the set better. The tour poster with the Keeper is cool. Their 2nd mascot. What about special guests?

The two Oslo shows are tempting.

The teaser promised the set to be: songs from the upcoming new album, the classics and songs not played for a long time.
