UNISONIC - featuring former HELLOWEEN vocalist Michael Kiske, guitarist Kai Hansen (GAMMA RAY, ex-Helloween), guitarist Mandy Meyer (ex-KROKUS, GOTTHARD) and PINK CREAM 69 rhythm section Dennis Ward (bass) and Kosta Zafiriou (drums) - will release their self-titled debut album on March 30th (March 21st in Japan).

An official statement issued earlier today reads: "Due to the growing demand of promotional appearances for the debut album Unisonic, the band is sadly forced to cancel the planned release parties in Germany." They were scheduled for:

March

29 - Hamburg, Germany – Knust (8pm)
30 - Bochum, Germany – Matrix (8pm)

Says drummer Kosta: "We are overwhelmed and happily under pressure for the fantastic media reactions we are receiving from all over the world to the first Unisonic album. Everybody in the band, but especially Michael and Kai, have been busy with promotion without a single day off for four weeks now. We have to admit that we secretly wished to receive some appreciation for our music but such a strong feedback is something much bigger than what we hoped for. We are in trouble now... having to visit many territories where we did not expect to go before.

Not to mention the fact that the promotional tour all over Europe and Japan keeps the band outside the studio and the rehearsal room for quite some time now," jokes Kosta . "And we don't want to meet each other for the first time in months on stage, just a minute after we all arrive from different places in the world.

We want each and every Unisonic show to be 100% a memorable night of fun and great music where we give all we can give... so we have to cancel the parties. We are sure our fans will understand!"
