ABYSS OF THE VOID
Que decir de una de las grandes bandas de la escena internacional dentro de nuestra música que ya no sepa todo el mundo. Hagamos un breve paso por su historia. Cuando kai Hansen salio de Helloween en 1989, formó este grupo, sin en principio grandes pretensiones, y tras haber pasado un tiempo haciendo colaboraciones con otras bandas como Blind Guardian. Es en ese mismo 1989 cuando decide formar Gamma Ray, junto a otros músicos como Ralf Scheepers, hasta entonces vocalista de Tyran Pace. En 1990 editan su primera obra de estudio que es inmediatamente un rotundo éxito, como no podía ser de otra manera pues estamos ante uno de los "reyes Midas" en esto del Heavy que parecen convertir en oro todo lo que tocan. Desde entonces y hasta la fecha de esta reseña 11 discos de estudio y 3 EP's hablan de un grupo consolidado en lo más alto de la cima metálica. Esta es la primera de las referencias que haremos a este gran grupo en este blog pero no será la última. Para hoy una canción de uno de sus discos más respetados y uno de mis favoritos, el "Land of the free" de 1995, su cuarta obra de estudio, y la primera en la que, tras la salida de Gamma Ray de Ralf Scheepers en 1994 por supuestas razones logísticas de la banda, Kai Hansen se haría con las funciones de vocalista, al igual que lo hiciera ya antes en Helloween en sus inicios. El disco "land of the free" es antológico, con grandes canciones entre las que es dificil escoger, incluso con una con la colaboración de Michael Kiske a la voz, en el tema "Time to break free". Quiero escoger una de las que más me gustan de este disco, la increible "Abyss of the void", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Now I must go
I'll wait for you to follow
No turning back
But there's a light
I've seen it all
Riding through never fall
When all is done
We must be one
I will return
The saviour is calling
He's riding through the night
The only, the holy
Returning from the light
We fall to the ground and we pray
'Cause he's the one
No demons left in this world
Since he has won
Oh hear what I say...
All men come
To see the king of the world
The time has come for everyone
The saviour stands for all of us
Now praise the one who'll destroy
The evil abyss of the void
His armour
Still shining
Though it's torn from fights
The brave man, redeemer
He brought us back to life
Oh yes he did
Now fall to the ground and pray
'Cause he will come
No demons left in this world
Since he has won
Now, listen to what I say...
All men come
To see the land of the free
The time has come for everyone
The saviour stands for all of us
Now praise the one who'll destroy
The evil abyss of the void
His armour, still shining
Though it's torn from fights
The brave man, he battled
On through the night
His eyes they were gleaming like fire
And he's prepared he's the one
The young man
He raises his head
Up to the land
In the sun
Wherever my spirit may fly
Up to this heavenly fight
I know
That I will return from a mission
Beyond our skies - now
SOLO: Dirk/Kai
We fall to the ground and we pray
'Cause he's the one
No demons left in this world
Since he has won
Oh hear what I say...
All men come
To see the king of the world
The time has come for everyone
The saviour stands for all of us
Now praise the one who'll destroy
The evil abyss of the void
I'll wait for you to follow

But there's a light
I've seen it all
Riding through never fall
When all is done
We must be one
I will return
The saviour is calling
He's riding through the night

We fall to the ground and we pray
'Cause he's the one
