GR story has started quite spontaneously when Kai Hansen has left Helloween, and together with vocalist Ralf Scheepers [Primal Fear] has recorded Heaven Can Wait single, yet right after that it has evolved into a full-fledged band, and less than one year later their first longplay [1990] was born, brightly shining in memorable, catchy, and harmonious speed/power metal way, that is often identified with German heavy music trademark, where every track sounds like a separate story with a vivid, expressive, essentially cinematic line, crowned by almost perfect epic fifteen minute long title track, setting an explosion-like trend that quickly developed around; deluxe twenty five anniversary digipak re-issue comes with a remastered sound, expanded by liner notes and vintage images in twenty page booklet, four bonuses as well as extra disk with twelve live, demo, instrumental tracks and karaoke versions for die-hard supporters
