”Blast from the Past” is a compilation album that contains re-recordings of older GAMMA RAY material from their first era with Ralf Scheepers at the mic, re-done in 2000’s with new vocalist Kai Hansen singing the vocals. All instruments for old songs were also re-recorded with new arrangements by the then current members of the band. The songs from each era to be included in the compilation were chosen by the band’s fans.
Now more that two decades since released, all these 20 songs are being remastered obtaining a more punchy output. With Hansen on vocals these songs sound melodi-fied, and the guitars, sharper.
This is a definitive collection of the German metal band’s greatest hits from the ’90s, but unlike the vast majority of GH albums, it’s not merely a selection of songs chosen from the band’s previous albums by the record company based on their chart performance thrown onto a new CD, and maybe remastered. The song selection on the album was voted upon by fans in a poll on Gamma Ray’s website, first of all.
