Heavy metal

Gamma Ray is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of It's a Sin, Magica, Helloween, Blind Guardian and Judas Priest. Those roots explain a lot about how Gamma Ray arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Helloween, Edguy, Primal Fear, Grave Digger and Iron Savior, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Systems in Blue, Sonata Arctica, Iron Savior, Dragony and Queens of the Stone Age, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 39 connections around Gamma Ray, reaching back through It's a Sin and forward to Systems in Blue.
