GAMMA RAY: 'Hell Yeah!' DVD Delayed
"After leaving you alone several weeks without any news about our DVD project [entitled 'Hell Yeah! The Awesome Foursome (And The Finnish Keyboarder Who Didn't Want To Wear His Donald Duck Costume) Live in Montreal'], we can now proudly say that the production is completely finished so that now it would be the record company's turn to bring it in the stores [as soon as possible]. But (unfortunately, there's always a but) we were informed last week that the Sanctuary office in Berlin will be closed by the end of this year which makes it impossible to release the DVD shortly . As next we have to find a solution with the Sanctuary office in the U.K., which is now responsible for the release timing and if we consider all the promotional machinery which starts working in front of a release we expect that the release has to be postponed to spring 2007.
"Nevertheless we continue in parallel with the songwriting and the recording of the first demos for the next album 'Land of the Free II' so that we are hopefully be able to bring two new releases in stores during next year.
"I know these are sad news for all of you who have waited since month for the release and expected to watch the DVD at the latest under the X-Mas tree. But you can be sure that we're also very disappointed with the actual situation and work hard on a solution for the release. As soon as the situation is clarified we will be back with more news."
"Hell Yeah! The Awesome Foursome (And The Finnish Keyboarder Who Didn't Want To Wear His Donald Duck Costume) Live in Montreal" will feature a multi-camera recording of the band's May 6, 2006 show at Medley in Montreal, Quebec as well as "tons of great behind-the-scenes footage, courtesy of camera man Markus Kreuz, who accompanied the band at all times. The band allowed the camera to run 24/7, resulting in a plethora of impressions, profound comments by the nightliner/bus driver. This is truly a great road movie with and unusually intimate insight into the life of a band on the road, the tour bus, and pretty much everything else. The highs and lows, the goofy and the profound, shopping, immigration troubles, missed flights, the works — uncut and raw, and GAMMA RAY are proud of it — and rightly so! There is ample additional material on the bonus DVD, with a big historical part, with live footage of gigs of yesteryear and backstage material from Japan and the Wacken Open Air. Last but definitely not least, there is the entire collection of the band’s video clips to be found on there. Great stuff!"

GAMMA RAY's next album, "Land of the Free Part II", will be a conceptual continuation of the group's 1995 classic "Land of the Free".
GAMMA RAY released its latest effort, "Majestic", on October 11, 2005. The lineup for "Majestic" included Hansen (guitar, bass), Dirk Schlächter (bass), Henjo Richter (guitar, keyboards) and Daniel Zimmerman (drums), who have been together for the last several releases after a number of lineup changes in the early stages of the band's career. "Majestic" is the band's first release since 2003's "Skeletons in the Closet".

German power metallers GAMMA RAY have issued another statement via their official web site explaining the reasons behind the delay of their long-awaited new DVD, "Hell Yeah! The Awesome Foursome (And The Finnish Keyboarder Who Didn't Want To Wear His Donald Duck Costume) Live in Montreal". it reads as follows:
"In our latest statement regarding our DVD release, we have probably evoked the impression that it's Sanctuary's [the band's record label] sole fault that the DVD has not been released yet. This is not correct. The original plan was to release it in September, which Sanctuary could not hold, because the whole post-production process took the band and the video company longer than we expected. This was due to the band's live activities and other factors that you could sum up as: we were too slow on everything.... Now that we are ready to finalise the master, we have to face the fact that the Berlin office of Sanctuary, which has always done a good job for us, will be closed. So, as mentioned in our previous statement, we now have to check out how the DVD will be released and promoted and make a new plan. We are sorry for having caused confusion with our latest statement and if anyone wants to put the blame on someone for not having 'Hell Yeah...' in their DVD player by now, put it on us... Anyhow, it's gonna come and we'll surely keep you updated."
