Mainly this guy cannot only sing, he can party, too and that\u2019s very important. So that was reason one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother good reason was that Kai just felt that it\u2019s time for him to cut a bit shorter on singing, because he found out that his long touring, especially headline shows after a while, always tends to fuck up the voice and end up with something that is not a hundred percent. So sharing the vocals makes things much easier and much more pleasurable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will not only give the band a new dimension soundwise or vocalwise but it will as well \u2014 and here is reason number three \u2014 give Kai the freedom to move around on stage a lot and plus create a bit more action on the live performances and be more free to play the guitar which actually he does like a lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, ladies and gentleman, please welcome the new Gamma Ray and please welcome Mr. Frank Beck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eleventh studio record <em>Empire Of The Undead<\/em> was released in March 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GAMMA RAY Recruit Frank Beck As Second Lead Vocalist November 1st, 2015 Hamburg, Germany-based power metal group Gamma Ray have recruited Frank Beck as their second lead vocalist, revealing this development on October 31st, 2015.
