Gamma Ray – Heading For Tommorow – CD

Anniversary Edition

The important parameters for a golden future were all set when Gamma Ray’s debut record “Heading For Tomorrow” was released in February of 1990. Two years previously, Kai Hansen had announced his departure from Helloween without revealing any of his plans for the future, but it quickly became clear that Hansen was ready to bring a new project to life. Hansen already had most of the material for the first release up his sleeve and found his other band members in Ralf Scheepers, Uwe Wessel and Mathias Burchardt. After hearing the classic “Gamma Ray” by a German rock band and learning that Gamma rays in fact have the most energy of all waves in the electromagnetic spectrum – the band name was decided as well. And their debut record delivered: Especially in Japan, the album was extremely popular, and many more should follow afterwards.
