Description
On “XXX”, Hansen roars into the mic like his life depends on it – like a wild, unleashed beast – and breaks free with liberating screams. Hansen's typical rough sound is intermittent by high-pitched screams and alternates between a melodic and clear vocal style while still retaining the slight nasal tone and rasp of his early years. Add explosive guitar solos, heavy riffs and licks as well as powerful tunes to the mix, and you get everything you ever searched for in metal/hard rock. Or as Hansen puts it: “It made me feel so groovy – it gave me instant heat.”

The 10 new metal classics on “XXX” came into existence by the hand of Alex Dietz (Heaven Shall Burn) on bass, Eike Freese (who already worked as engineer and co-producer with Hansen on the last Gamma Ray album) on guitar and phenomenal drummer Daniel Wilding (Carcass) – and of course Hansen himself. The four will be joined by various guests, ranging from friends to followers to heroes, such as Dee Snider, Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Marcus Bischoff (Heaven Shall Burn), Tobias Sammet (Avantasia, Edguy), Michael Kiske (Unisonic), and Michael Weikath (Helloween).
