| KAI HANSEN, earMUSIC and WACKEN Foundation are happy to announce the release of "XXX", the first "solo project" album by Kai Hansen, one of the most influential guitarists and singers to emerge from Germany during the first part of the 80s, first with the seminal 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. XXX is, in pure Hansen tongue-in-cheak style, a reference to over 30 years of involvement in the world of heavy rock, as explained with the album's sub-title "30 Years of Metal". ----- więcej ----- XXX is a magical journey. It is the story of how powerful dreams can be. Dreams and passions big enough to bring a teenager form Hamburg who is in love with rock music, glam rock and the first heavy metal sounds from the practicing in his bedroom and rehearsal rooms to the biggest stages in the world in only a few years, to end up influencing and sharing the stage with the very same bands he admired in the first place. Not strictly autobiographical, "XXX" is without doubt the story of Kai Hansen but it could very well represent the story of anybody who is not afraid to believe in dreams, with passion and dedication. It is the story of the ups and downs that everybody faces at some point during the journey of life: the lost and found-again friends, the glory, the tragedies and the joys. Together with Hansen, a stellar band of musicians gravitating around the Chameleon Studio in Hamburg has formed spontaneously. Together with Hansen, a stellar band of musicians gravitating around the Chameleon Studio in Hamburg has formed spontaneously. Alex Dietz (guitar player of Heaven Shall Burn) on bass, Eike Freese (who already worked as engineer and co-producer with Hansen on the last Gamma Ray album) and phenomenal drummer Daniel Wilding (Carcass). The four will be joined by various friends who have played a significant part in Kai's career or musicians who have expressed the wish to join the project with the same spirit who is leading Kai, Alex, Eike and Daniel to create loud music with joy, freedom and determination. Talking about XXX (while in the studio, recording guitars) KAI HANSEN has declared: "30 years in metal, that's a damn long time. Over the course of all these years, I never recorded a solo album. It is quite nice and a hell lot of fun to create something without any boundaries and to get a fresh view on music. I am celebrating 30 years of being able to do what I like best... On 'XXX' I am reflecting on my roots, where I come from, how it all started for me. I believe you need a certain drive, passion and of course a bit of luck and coincidence to make it in the music world - and of course some financial support. This is where the Wacken Foundation came to my mind. They are helping people, musicians just like me, who want to make it. And I remember having had help myself, from my family, the families from the other band members - and by doing a paper round. So hopefully, with my donation, young musicians are given the same chance that I was given a long time ago, too. And who knows, maybe we all will be playing together at Wacken in 20 years..." Wacken Foundation's Thomas Jensen adds: "This is really generous donation to the Wacken Foundation. Heavy metal is a way of life - and with this this amazing gesture Kai showed what it stands for: selflessness, thoughtfulness and most of all the passion and love for music. The goal of the foundation is to keep this kind of spirit going. With Kais doing we are one step closer to this goal."
