What a show. What an audience. What a festival. THANK YOU WACKEN! For thirty years now Kai Hansen is one of the iconic figures of heavy metal and with no doubt one of the most influential guitarists and singers to emerge from Germany. First with ground-breaking band HELLOWEEN (of which Hansen is one of the founding members) and later with GAMMA RAY, one of the bands that contributed to define the genre power metal, bringing it to generation of devoted fans worldwide since its first album.Recorded live on a sunny and muddy summer evening at last year’s Wacken Open Air Festival this is a unique snapshot in time as it was the first and will be the only performance of the songs from Kai Hansen’s 2016 solo debut “XXX – Three Decades In Metal”. For this special occasion Hansen gathered a unique line-up of friends from the metal genre around him to give the thousands of spectators a unique and memorable evening with an outstanding show.Hansen was joined on stage by Alex Dietz on bass (Heaven Shall Burn), Eike Freese (Dark Age) on guitar, Michael Ehre (Gamma Ray) on drums, Corvin Bahn (Crystal Breed) on keys, Clementine Delauney (Visions Of Atlantis) and Frank Beck (Gamma Ray) on backing vocals and as a special treat Michael Kiske (Helloween, Unisonic) entered the stage to perform some Helloween classics.
