Metal Kaoz recently conduct an interview with UNISONIC's bassist, Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69), who talked about the band's music direction, the upcoming live shows and their future plans. An excerpt of this interview follows:

Q: How is the feedback so far? Were the old school fans expecting something like a new Keeper Of The Seven Keys from Unisonic? Are they fair with the band? After all, this is a young band...

A: "Yeah, a young band but not young people (laughs)... we took a lot of time announcing well beforehand that we are not a HELLOWEEN clone and that we are not going to go that way. But still we have a lot of fans sending requests for specific Helloween songs and also there were some writing stuff in the internet (after all, everyone can write something there and that’s a good thing) that Unisonic don’t sound like Helloween. So, those people got disappointed with Unisonic but in reality we don’t care because we did not want to sound like Helloween. After all the most successful way to do this would be to do a Helloween reunion, right? So, if some fans were expecting that, then I am really sorry. This was not our intentions, so I have no bad feelings or regrets about that. I know what I want and I did not lie to anybody or make any false hopes. The same happened when we did Place Vendome; we made it clear from the very beginning that we would make an AOR/hard rock album. And AOR is not Helloween and it will never be."

Q: I wouldn’t like to see a Helloween clone from you guys. So, you have a booked schedule until the end of November and you are going to go all over the world except from the US; so, is there any chance to see Unisonic live in the US?

A: "I never say “no” or “never”, but you know, the States is a difficult place for metal. There are the places to play but it’s really difficult to organize it. The album was released in the States one month later than in Europe, so we are waiting to see the reactions. There are some ideas and concepts about doing it but are not to be announced that. We knew that Unisonic was meant to be for Europe mainly and for Japan of course. But the States is a total different ball game. If the response is not what we want, then it will be a big burden to tour there. It requires a lot of work and plus it’s very expensive. We just have to wait and see."

Brigitte from the Official Unisonic Fan Club comments about the show: “It was the first show with all the new material, but everything seemed tight arranged and very professional. Michael’s voice was better than every and he didn’t need any paper on any song. Maybe a little more interaction with the audience could be done for future shows. You could also see, that most Argentinian people didn’t know most of the Unisonic songs. This is quite understandable, since the album was not yet released there. So when the first Helloween track 'March of Time' started, the audience went crazy."
