UNISONIC: Quality Video Footage Of HELLFEST Performance

June 26, 2012

Video footage of UNISONIC's June 15 performance at this year's edition of the Hellfest festival, which took place June 15-17 in Clisson, France, can be seen below.

The band's setlist was as follows:

01. Unisonic
02. Never Too Late
03. King for a Day
04. My Sanctuary
05. March of Time (HELLOWEEN cover)
06. Over the Rainbow
07. Star Rider
08. We Rise
09. I Want Out (HELLOWEEN cover)

UNISONIC is the band featuring former HELLOWEEN vocalist Michael Kiske and guitarist Kai Hansen (GAMMA RAY, ex-HELLOWEEN) alongside guitarist Mandy Meyer (ASIA, GOTTHARD and KROKUS),bassist Dennis Ward and drummer Kosta Zafiriou (both of Germany's PINK CREAM 69).

The group's self-titled debut studio album was released in North America on May 22 via Eagle Rock imprint Armoury Records.

"Unisonic" was recorded at ICP Studios in Brussels, Belgium. The CD — which features 11 tracks, plus a bonus live version of HELLOWEEN classic "I Want Out", only available on the domestic edition, and cover art by Martin Häusler (MEAT LOAF, GOTTHARD, HELLOWEEN, MOTÖRHEAD) — marks the first full-length musical union between Kiske and Hansen in 23 years!

UNISONIC released its debut EP, "Ignition" on January 27 via earMUSIC/Edel. The effort includes the track "Unisonic" plus one demo song and a cover version of the HELLOWEEN classic "I Want Out", recorded live on October 15 at last year's edition of the Loud Park festival at Saitama Super Arena, a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Saitama City, Japan.

UNISONIC's music is very versatile and shows a broad approach to heavy rock without sacrificing the power and strong, catchy melodies that characterized the bandmembers' previous projects.

Kai Hansen's position in GAMMA RAY will be unaffected by his involvement with UNISONIC.

UNISONIC is:

Michael Kiske (vocals)
Mandy Meyer (guitar)
Kai Hansen (guitar)
Dennis Ward (bass)
Kosta Zafiriou (drums)
