Chile's PowerMetal.cl recently spoke with UNISONIC vocalist Michael Kiske (ex-HELLOWEEN), in which he talks about their upcoming Latin American tour and his shows in Chile with GOTTHARD.

Regarding the old Helloween tracks that he is going to play during the upcoming Unisonic tour with Kai Hansen (GAMMA RAY, ex-Helloween), Michael said: "When we play (those Helloween tracks), it’s gonna sound more like the original than if the nowadays band, Helloween, is playing them."

The interview can be found at this location.

Also, during the interview, Kiske sent two ELVIS covers, never before released - 'Love Letters' and 'I Don't Really Want To Know'.

Michael stated: "I have like Karaoke Elvis tracks. I always do them, I love singing Elvis because it's just so great for my voice! I have like 100 tracks recorded with Elvis!".

Unisonic released its debut EP, Ignition earlier this year. After the addition of Hansen to the group's lineup in early 2011, Unisonic continued the songwriting process for its debut release, incorporating Kai's talent for writing great anthemic rock songs into its existing material. Hardly Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 3, the Unisonic collective effortlessly fuse the many sides of heavy music they know and love. The band's music is versatile and takes a broad approach to heavy rock without sacrificing the power and strong, catchy melodies that characterized the band members' previous projects.
