According to an update from UNISONIC frontman Michael Kiske's official Facebook contact page (found here), HELLOWEEN fans hoping to see Kiske reunite with his former bandmates can forget it:

"I just talked to Michael Kiske and he confirmed that he has absolutely NO interest at all in what certain persons are dreaming about loudly in a lot of interviews according to a possible reunion with Helloween or similar bullshit."

During a recent interview with TV Rock Live for the new Helloween album Straight Out Of Hell, current frontman Andi Deris (since 1994) commented on the upcoming Hellish Rock II tour with GAMMA RAY:

Deris: "My personal dream would be a Hellish Rock Part III together with (original singer) Michael Kiske maybe the next time we would have support of UNISONIC. And maybe then we could fulfill the dream for everybody it would be the whole old Helloween band, unfortunately without Ingo, but it would be a dream come true for the people."

Unisonic recently issued the following update:

"Hello out there, we wish you all a healthy and happy year 2013!!!

2012 was an event- and successful year for Unisonic: We released our debut CD and did the first tour, leading us to many countries in Latin America, Asia and Europe. The feedback on the CD and the live shows was phenomenal and we want to thank you all from the deepest of our hearts for your support!

2013 will be a more silent year for Unisonic. Besides working with our other bands and projects, be sure that we will use the time to write and record a new Unisonic album! Touring together for the first time and your overwhelming reactions glued us together as a band, and we can´t wait to canalize all these impressions into a powerful and melodic metal album to be released in early 2014!"
