SUPARED Secure Japanese Release For Debut CD

May 26, 2003

Germany's SUPARED, the new group fronted by former HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske, have finally secured a Japanese deal for their self-titled debut. The CD, which has been available in Europe through Noise/Sanctuary Records since late January, will surface in Japan on June 21 via JVC Records. It is not presently clear if the Japanese edition of the album will include any bonus material not found on the European version of the CD.

As previously repored, Kiske recently laid down his vocals on two cuts for the for the forthcoming debut from AINA, the new project spearheaded by acclaimed German producer Sascha Paeth (KAMELOT, ANGRA, RHAPSODY). Michael was originally supposed to appear on three of the album's cuts, but ended up singing only two — "Silver Maiden" and "Serendipity" — after he came down with a vicious cold that left him unable to perform during the remainder of the album's recording sessions.

The AINA debut, which is said to have "nothing to do with heavy metal," is expected to surface in late 2003 through an as-yet-undisclosed label.
