◇ image via WikipediaGamma Ray
Gamma Ray is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Holocaust, It's a Sin, Magica, Mike Terrana and Helloween. Those roots explain a lot about how Gamma Ray arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Edguy, Primal Fear, Grave Digger, HammerFall and Blind Guardian, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Systems in Blue, Iron Savior, Sonata Arctica, Dragony and Queens of the Stone Age, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around Gamma Ray, reaching back through Holocaust and forward to Systems in Blue.
