Land of the Free (Gamma Ray album)

Land of the Free is the fourth studio album by German power metal band Gamma Ray, released in 1995.

Rubach left towards the tail end of Men on a Tour; Schlächter took over the bass duties and Henjo Richter took over as the second guitarist.

The track "Afterlife" was written as a tribute to Ingo Schwichtenberg, Kai Hansen's former bandmate in Helloween, who committed suicide prior to the album's release.

[6] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff was less enthusiastic and stated that Land of the Free was too similar to a Helloween album for his taste, remarking how speed metal was more "insistent and persistent than in the past.

"[4] Jerry Ewing of Classic Rock lamented the absence of Ralf Scheepers' vocals and defined the material on the album as "merely adequate".
