Gamma Ray have recently finished the final mixing of their new album which
was recorded at the Hansen Studios in Hamburg. The album includes 11 tracks
which represent all of the characteristic strengths of the bands musical career
to date. The album title is 'MAJESTIC' and is scheduled for a release late
September. Until then the band will undetake worldwide promotional activities
and in parallel they also have to move their Hamburg studio to a new
Location because the actual building will be completely rebuilt this summer.

You can meet GAMMA RAY during summer at the following European Festivals:
24.06. Balingen, Germany, BANG YOUR HEAD Festival
16.07. Helsinki, Finland, TUSKA Festival

The album release will be followed by a worldwide headline tour which is in
the planning stage at the moment.
Further to this, the Gamma Ray website will be relaunched with a completely
new design and a dedicated Fan Club member area in June. Fan Club Members who
haven't received the Fan Club Newsletter in February by post and everyone
who is interested in joining the bands official Fan Club should send an email
to the new Fan Club email address: _GammaRayFC@aol.com_ to receive
further information.


Here are some direct words from the band:

Dear Friends
Yes, we know it's been a long time without any real news and visible
activity from the band!

But, since December 2004 we have been working on the production of the new
album and it was a long period of blood sweat and tears, but also of joy and
pleasure. Everyone in the band went through some personal suffering or difficulties
during this time and occasionally we had the feeling that something or someone
wanted to stop us from making this record.
Finally, two months ago, we got the message that we had to leave our studio
complex at the end of May because some sharks bought the whole building and
had nothing more constructive in mind than kicking out all the bands that
were rehearsing there only to rebuild it into a storage place for rich peoples
dirty attorney files or whatever.....! With this in mind it made working in a
relaxed atmosphere even harder. But we could not be stopped and fought our
way through and....presto... WE MADE IT!!!

We are sure that the long wait has not been in vain and everyone's gonna be
rewarded with an album that goes beyond the expected (as always this is just
our humble opinion and the rest is up to the listener).

Now we're working out the big promo and touring game plan with Sanctuary and
All Access and of course getting everything ready to move to the new studio
location which we found a few weeks ago.
It is near the old place and actually much bigger and nicer than the old
one, with a waterfront view of the river Bille, a tributary of the Elbe. When
everything is ready there's gonna be a massive party for selected friends,
fans, journalists, musicians and so on
We hope that you will be patient for just a little while longer until the
album is finally released and not kick our butts for keeping you on hold for so
long. We're more alive than ever and we're damn hungry to go out on tour and
get this album on to a stage
Big Cheerzzz to you all from the Rays!!!

Stay tuned for more information soon ...
