Unisonic’s first live album is a great release packed with some of the band’s strongest songs and the addition of two Helloween classics. The album has captured the band in great form, delivering a very confident and professional performance in Europe’s largest metal festival.
Unisonic is comprised of Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween, Place Vendome), Kai Hansen (ex-Helloween, Gamma Ray), Mandy Meyer (Gotthard, ex-Krokus), Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Place Vendomee) and Kosta Zafiriou (ex-Pink Cream 69).
The production is strong, clean and retains the live feel and atmosphere successfully. The album sounds heavier compared to the band’s studio work and most tracks pack more energy when compared to the originals. Out of the Unisonic songs the stand outs are the faster power metal anthems “Your Time Has Come” and “For the Kingdom”, the melodic hard rocker “Exceptional” with its addictive chorus and the catchy “My Sanctuary”. As expected the two Helloween classics are the icing on the cake and both are performed flawlessly. “A Little Time” contains a medley of Judas Priest’s Victim of Changes in the middle of the song, with Kiske delivering a chilling performance. “March of Time” is a little more melodic compared to the original but is just as fast and epic.
