UNISONIC, the new band featuring former HELLOWEEN vocalist Michael Kiske alongside Dennis Ward (bass) and Kosta Zafiriou (drums) of Germany's PINK CREAM 69 and Swiss guitarist Mandy Meyer (who has previously played with ASIA, GOTTHARD and KROKUS), has added three more dates to its upcoming tour and as a warm-up for the group's appearance at the Sweden Rock Festival. 前Helloween主唱Michael Kiske宣布加入新團Unisonic，樂團其他成員有： Pink Cream 69的貝斯手Dennis Ward、鼓手Kosta Zafiriou，與來自瑞士的吉他手Mandy Meyer(Asia, Gotthard, Krokus)。 The band's schedule is now as follows: June 05 - Live Music Hall, Mörlenbach - Weier, Germany June 06 - Sonnenkeller - Balingen, Germany June 10 - Fabrik - Bruchsal, Germany June 11-12 - Sweden Rock Festival - Sölvesborg, Sweden UNISONIC marks the first time Kiske has been involved in a real band situation in almost 16 years. Having split with HELLOWEEN in late 1993, he participated in various projects and released several solo albums but had not been part of a real group effort until now. Kiske自從離開Helloween後，雖然發行過幾張個人專輯和在一些別人的side projects中插花，但這是16年來第一次成為某個樂團的正式成員。 While collaborating with Ward and Zafiriou on the PLACE VENDOME project four years ago, Kiske found two musical soulmates. They ended up recording two PLACE VENDOME albums before deciding to join forces in a new brand new band. Ward, who had previously produced a record for KROKUS, suggested Meyer as the perfect addition to the group in the vacant guitarist slot. 先前Kiske與Ward、Zafiriou兩人合作了Place Vendome的兩張專輯，愉快的合作間接促成了Unisonic這個新樂團的誕生， Meyer受邀加入則是由於Ward有幫Krokus製作唱片的關係。 Sharing the vision of a rock band free of any musical limitations, the quartet has already started writing songs for its debut album, which is scheduled for release in late 2010. An EP may precede the full-length effort in the spring. 樂團目前正在為今年末將發行的首張專輯寫歌，先行EP則預計於春天推出。 Kiske, one of the finest and most unique voices in contemporary rock music, explains his motivation of becoming a part of a band again: "Since the PLACE VENDOME productions I was impressed by Dennis Ward's skills as a songwriter and producer. We were occasionally fooling around since then via email that we should do more together in the future, so the idea came up to do a new band. I was generally getting a bit tired of doing everything on my own for so many years, so it just felt like the right thing to do now. We can all only benefit from working together. No matter how good you are solo, four people will always be better than one, I think, if they manage to function together. And a real band is also a very good reason to finally go on tour again. After 17 years, I can't wait to get back on stage and have some fun with the band and the fans!" Kiske的興奮都寫在上面 ↑↑↑ UNISONIC is expected to perform a number of original songs as well as tracks from PLACE VENDOME and reworked versions of HELLOWEEN classics like "Kids OfThe Century" and "A Little Time", both of which were included on Kiske's "Past In Different Ways" album. 目前已經排定的現場演出中，樂團預定會表演幾首新歌及Place Vendome + Helloween的舊歌。轉載於看板《RockMetal》作者maxtail -- 「這就是～戀愛的試煉！」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.192.37.202
