German power metallers Gamma Ray will be filming their May 6 show at Medley in Montreal, Quebec for an upcoming double DVD, to be released in September. In addition to the concert, which will be filmed with several cameras, the DVD will contain lots of bonus features, like a road movie, a documentary covering the group’s history, behind-the-scenes footage, video clips etc.
“Canada is a good place to film a show,” says the band’s frontman, Kai Hansen. “But we are also bringing a cameraman along for the entire tour to capture all of the back stage and pre-show aspects of the band. We are bringing it back to rock ‘n’ roll basics.
This will be the first-ever Gamma Ray video-documentary featuring the current lineup of the band. “The current lineup has been together for 8 years,” Hansen states. “It’s about time we get a filmed documentary of who the band is.”
