July 10, 2010 - Michael Kiske about Unisonic

Recently the Spanish site rafabasa.com made an interview by telephone with Unisonic singer Michael Kiske. A few excerpts from the interview follow:

About the creation of Unisonic:
I'm very well now, I got not only a new band, also a management and people worried about those things. Is really great. I mean, one day I meet with Kosta and Dennis here in Hamburg to offer me that idea. In that moment I felt that it was the right thing, what I have to do now. I don't know, some things need time and sometimes you need to pass for a different way, and let the time passing by when you feel a bit different of your environment, but now I'm glad with that situation, really.

How will Unisonic sound:
I would say that we're treating it as a Rock band. If we have to do things more Hard Rock then we will do it, and if we want to make things more easier we will do that. That was very important to me, we are a Rock band. I don't like to be buried in any certain musical scene, but also it is important to be open. Anyway I can't say where that band will go, or how colorful the music will be yet, because this is not a solo project it's a real band where three people write songs. There is a situation of democracy now. I don't have or had any problem with rock music since a long time ago, it was only a short period when I was tired of everything, but it was a little time.

About the compositions:
'Souls Alive', is a song written by Mandy, so I don't think it sounds like Place Vendome or Pink Cream 69. But probably it doesn't matter what we are playing, because it would have the stamp of Dennis and Kosta which I think is good. For me, the songs we have are all different. We just chose it because it had the best pre-production, but it's not the final recording yet, just a demo. It's not the album version I mean. I still have to re-record the vocals again when we record it for the album. I will probably use a more heavier tone in the chorus for example.
The soul of my songs are different. For example, the songs I wrote for the album are more like power...I don't want to say ballads, because they are not really ballads. It's like 'Silent Lucidity' of Queensryche, for example, it has that thing that I love, also Kosta. I'm not saying that it would sound like that but it has some similar style, even in the lyrics. I like the rock thing in the bridge, but I don't want to make it too long, but I like the slow tone and timeless. That's the difference with the Place Vendome stuff. I also know that Dennis won't produce Unisonic like the albums of Place Vendome neither Pink Cream 69, those bands have things of 80's, mainly Place Vendome with that AOR and classic melodic hard rock. In that case, the sound would be more fresh and modern...It's like for example, if I would sing on a solo album of Kai Hansen, it would have a lot of things that sound like Helloween. If Kai composes and I sing, there are not doubts to what it would sound like.

About the future:
Unisonic is the only thing I'm doing right now... I mean, I have other more plans. I will have more in the future, I'm sure I would do another solo album, mainly because I still have a deal signed, but well anyway it depends if I can feel completely satisfied with the artistic level of Unisonic. Perhaps I might not have a need to make one. But for example we already discarded a lot of stuff we will not use for this first album, but well, I don't know if I will use some of that stuff in my solo project. Dennis and Kosta are not making anything with Pink Cream 69, at least this year, so Unisonic is also their priority. If we make a really good album and the feedback is good, we can start touring for the next year in a lot of places, and the position of the band to the future would be really good. At that moment we're not worried about deals, sales, and those things. The illusion is big and everything is working fine.

June 21, 2010 - Kosta Zafiriou about Unisonic

Kosta Zafiriou made an interview for more-metal.com after Unisonic show at the на Sweden Rock Festival on June, 12:

 

A summary of that interview:

About the band and the future releases:

They want it to be a real band and no project. The new album will probably be out at the beginning of next year (a little bit later than planned), they apologized a little bit, that the recording/song writing process takes some time. They started as a real band 3 weeks back, when they did their first rehearsals and some jamming and it was a great experience.

Kosta Zafiriou: I was from the beginning on planned as a real band and not a project. During the festival season or afterwards we are recording the demo and search for a record label and the production will start afterwards.

They want to establish the band with several steps. With a lot of touring, recording albums and so on.

Kosta Zafiriou: We have 8 or 9 songs ready, but until now not recorded on a demo. After the following festivals we will write more songs. Everyone is involved in songwriting except me, since I have always worked more in the background. But we have 3 very talented song writers in the band.

We wanted to release an EP before the festivals. Sorry it didn't work out. But it will be worth the waiting. We have already written fantastic song and some more will follow. It's probably being the beginning of next year when the new album will be released. Soon afterwards, we will go on tour and everyone is invited.

About Sweden Rock Festival:

Kosta Zafiriou: The gig was very good, but had some delay because of the storm in Sweden and some security issues because of the broken down tower. It was a fantastic experience for such a new band.

The album version of 'A Little Time' has an effect part, but HELLOWEEN did in the past also some jamming part during this song. So Michael came with this idea and they tried this out during rehearsals. They all like JUDAS PRIEST. During the high screaming parts the crowd really gets mad.


About how will sound UNISONIC:

Kosta Zafiriou: Since we did not want to release something which is not worked out completely. That's why we didn't release demos until now or some stuff on myspace. We did not really make a secret of the whole thing, but did not spread too many rumors. But there were so many people out there who were curious how the new material will sound. We have received lots of mails with questions, if there are some HELLOWEEN songs or something similar. At that time we didn't know exactly how UNISONIC will sound. When we did our first rehearsals everyone was exited and smiled. It was a great experience.

June 9, 2010 - Souls Alive by Unisonic

According to Michael Kiske Official Fanclub, the brand new song of Unisonic is titled "Souls Alive". The "6/8" it's not the part of the title. It means the song is not finished at 100%.

"Souls Alive" lyrics:

Shot in the dark, walk in the park
Hiding frustation, refusing to talk
Loosing your mind, pretending nothing is wrong.

Ooh, such a lonely child

Hiding the tears, wasting of years
Trapped in a world of despair

Kneel to insanity, don't let the cries be heard
They are the young hearts that suffer in the end
Will need some time to make amends
Will need to find another way

The cloth was only a disguise,
Abuse of power, simple lies
Heaven, keep these souls alive

Blank is the face, show no disgrace
Feeling alone in this gathering place
Reading the lines, but none define what they do

Ooh, what a contious child

Open their mind, reasons we'll find
Why must one be so betrayed?

They see the light, feel the hand on their shoulder
Wrong or right? they don't want you to know
Who's to blame? when the worlds in denial
Where's the shame? can you look them in the eyes?
Look at them in their eyes.
Can you see our demise?
