Empire Of The Undead = 2 LP = (LP)
Just to show you this album's miscellany, it is a must to note on several influential power points. "Avalon", can be easily compared to the epic "Land Of The Free" hit "Rebellion In Dreamland". In a matter of speaking, it measured up to that old classic, yet, it captured a much operatic type, or theatrical angle. Enticing with a powerful chorus of a stellar quality, GAMMA RAY recaptured old IRON MAIDEN signatures that crossed with the British giant's "Wrathchild", generally smearing spits of British Metal on the tune. Just like the previous, this epic track barely felt like it was nine minutes long, simply brilliant. "Time For Deliverance" is a special feature, a sort of a ballad emphasizing Hansen's astounding singing, softly embracing the soul, but also reminding that feistiness of the guy. I smiled again for myself right when the chorus kicked in, as if I was listening to QUEEN's "We Are The Champions", even sang the lyrics as it progressed, right through its end I was struck by a post Hansen HELLOWEEN ballad similarity, it was out of "Time Of The Oath", the song "If I Knew". Though I am used to be inspired by heaviness, GAMMA RAY came up with a powerful song to soften things up a bit. "Hellbent" and "Empire of the Undead" are coordinated lambasting assaults of Teutonic force, in the name of Metal and the ones that are true to the right form of music, GAMMA RAY went hell bent for leather, firing away speedy tempos with tantalizing riffery and vocalic intensity. As if "I Want Out" and "Send Me A Sign" aren't enough hits on Kai Hansen's belt, the album employed "Master of Confusion", a kind of a humorous sidesplitting, musically on the same formula and feel of the older hits, an entertaining tune indeed. Finally there is "Pale Rider", an odd creature, first time for me listening Hansen proudly shaking down the "F" word. Obviously there is an American toughness sprayed all around, but virtually still a GAMMA RAY, yet with a smack to the face. On the whole, the band's songwriting development and direction on this album enabled me to find myself in different corners of it, every single vibe, whether violent and head bashing or in the opposite caressing and touc
