UPDATED:

Kai Hansen formed Helloween in 1984, playing guitar and singing on the speed-metal band's first four albums. He left in early 1989, however, and founded Gamma Ray with vocalist Ralf Scheepers (formerly with Tyran Pace). The album "Heading for Tomorrow" was released in 1990 and proved a hit with fans and critics. By 1991, Gamma Ray produced another album of new material, entitled "Sigh No More". Following 1993's "Insanity and Genius", vocalist Scheepers departed to try out for Judas Priest; he didn't get the gig, but opted to form a new band called Primal Fear rather than return to the fold, leaving Hansen to take over vocal duties on 1995's "Land of the Free". Further recordings with Hansen as lead vocalist followed, including 1997's "Somewhere Out in Space", 1998's "Valley of the Kings", and 1999's "Power Plant".
