\nLegendary German power metallers GAMMA RAY will unleash Skeletons & Majesties Live as a two-CD set next month via Eagle Rock imprint Armoury Records. Set for North American release on December 4, 2012, Skeletons & Majesties Live is a near two-hour magnum opus spanning the band\u2019s history and includes classics as well as tracks which were under-represented to date. A DVD version will be released stateside in January. Skeletons & Majesties Live was recorded and filmed during the band\u2019s 2011 European tour at the legendary Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland and is the first properly HD-filmed live video production of the band\u2019s epic 20+ year career.
\n
\n\u201cThe [2011 released ] EP, Skeletons & Majesties, is practically a continuation of our Skeletons In The Closet concept, in other words: new versions of songs which didn\u2019t receive the attention they deserve, as well as unplugged versions of some of our classics,\u201d notes founding vocalist\/guitarist Kai Hansen.
\n
\nThe DVD offers up a thoroughly gripping performance, from the dynamic openers \u201cAnywhere In The Galaxy\u201d and \u201cMen, Martians And Machines\u201d to the furious finale\/Helloween cover \u201cFuture World.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a special bonus, to accompany the Hansen-penned Helloween classic on stage, GAMMA RAY enlisted the services of former Helloween frontman Michael Kiske. In addition, Kiske can be heard and seen on \u201cTime To Break Free\u201d and \u201cA While In Dreamland\u201d.
\n
\nThe release of Skeletons & Majesties Live will mark the beginning of an eventful 2013 for GAMMA RAY: After Hansen stayed true to his word and spent 2012 concentrating mainly on his second band, Unisonic, he and his three colleagues, guitarist Henjo Richter, bassist Dirk Schl\u00e4chter and new addition, drummer Michael Ehr\u00e9 (the Firewind\/Love.Might.Kill drummer has replaced Daniel Zimmermann, who left the GAMMA RAY fold on friendly terms) are now focusing exclusively on GAMMA RAY once again. A co-headlining European tour with Helloween has been scheduled for March and will also mark the arrival of a new GAMMA RAY studio recording. Stay tuned for release dates and further details.<\/p>\n
\u201cGAMMY RAY will have top priority in 2013,\u201d comments Hansen, \u201cand Skeletons & Majesties Live is the perfect harbinger of this!\u201d<\/p>\n
