A conversation with Kai Hansen (Helloween/ Gamma Ray)

Helloween’s self-titled album is out now and is a serious contender for album of the year 2021! One of the reasons it is so strong is the return of vocalist and guitarist Kai Hansen. After the conversations with Helloween members Sascha Gerstner, Dani Löble, and Markus Großkopf, this chat with Kai caps a momentous opportunity to deep dive into all things Helloween. The audio/ visual quality is not great. I hosted the chat from a remote location and Kai explained that he lives in an area that requires satellite internet. BUT... the conversation itself is a high-quality exchange featuring one of the most important figures in heavy metal. Enjoy!
