|---|---|
Power Plant is the sixth full-length album from the German power metal band, Gamma Ray. The album was initially released in 1999, but was re-released along with most of the band's past catalogue in 2003 with bonus tracks and new covers. This album has a tight focus on the Power Metal genre.
Most notably for the band, it was the first album in which the lineup from one album to the next remain unchanged, with Kai Hansen on vocals and guitar, Henjo Richter on guitar, Dirk Schlächter on bass and Dan Zimmermann on drums. To date, it remains their most stable lineup and is their current lineup as well.
