Kai formed Gamma Ray along side Ralf Scheepers, a big Judas Priest fan from the band Tyran' Pace. The beginning of Gamma Ray was pretty much the continuation of classic Helloween material (Hansen was the founder of that band too). In 1994 Ralf left Gamma Ray as a result of living too far away from the base camp, so it was time for Kai to take over the singing for himself just like on the first Helloween album. Ralf later formed his own band with Mat Sinner, Primal Fear. Kai Hansen has been guest musician on albums from Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Heavens Gate, Stormwarrior among others. In 2006 Henjo Richter was injured in a fall and replaced on tour by Kasperi Heikkinen of the Finnish Gamma Ray tribute band Guardians of Mankind, whose keyboard player Eero Kaukomies was already part of the Gamma Ray touring line-up. Eero was also drafted in as a temporary live member of Freedom Call around the same time, whose ex-keyboard player Nils Neumann had also been a live member of Gamma Ray. Henning Basse of Metalium filled in as vocalist on January 17th and 18th of 2008 when Kai Hansen was suffering from flu. Kai still performed in his role as guitarist.

Живая легенда немецкого хеви/павер/спид металла!
Отличная команда которая имеет сое лицо, непереставая радовать поклонников очередными творениями. С удовольствием, не смотря на то, что отошел от данного стиля, переслушиваю любимые альбомы "Sigh No More" '1991 & "No world oder" '2001. Great post!
