quite interesting interview:
The new 'Break Out' magazine (German edition) features an interview with Unisonic (official) with some interesting facts and additionally a very good album review for 'Light of Dawn'. Here are some translated excerpts:
Kiske about meeting the other band members for the first time: “It was a little different for me and I didn’t know Mandy before. I met Kosta for the first time in 2009 at a Helloween concert in Hamburg. This was a first attempt of him to find out more about me and how I think about certain things. Later Kosta asked me if I would be interested in this band. He is also the manager of Helloween and so this just happened.”
Kiske about the future:” I will put all my energy into Unisonic for the rest of the year. I’m more motivated than ever. If they listened to me, we would do big things. For example we could let a big ‘U’ Spaceship from the cover fly over the stage and light it with spotlights. Wouldn’t this be cool? I guess the costs would be too high for the record label, no idea, what they think about something like that. Apart from this there are some recordings to be done for the 2nd Kiske/Somerville album, but I don’t know when it will be released. In addition Tobi Sammet already asked as well for another Avantasia and I think this will be a topic for next year. We can already talk about this during the upcoming tour.”
Kiske about another song on the new album covering a serious topic:” I can reassure you and there is the song ‘Blood’ with very personal lyrics. It is about the thesis or in my opinion the fact, that many of our decisions and ways of acting are native and entailed to us. They are connected to our blood. In earlier years we had these blood blonds in Germania and also blood vengeance was part of the daily life. We life now in a society where these kind of things are not present anymore, but there are still parts of our society where it happens. Family love is also important for it. I had the idea for this song after a very severe conflict with my brother in which he showed reactions of our father. He was an alcoholic until he died and sometime he was unpredictable, so love was very low in our family. I don’t want to say that my brother is an alcoholic, but he showed some reactions which were similar to the reactions of my father and this shocked me very much. I guess the blood of my father became overhand in this situation. Thanks god, we settled down the dispute a little later.”
Kiske about who decides which songs are on the album:”This is a band decision. Normally we agree within a short time, because we hear which song works and which won’t. In a few cases when we are not sure about it, I have the final decision, because I have to sing the songs. This was only 2 times the case on both albums.”
Dennis about writing songs:”I’m normally the guy who writes a few more songs than necessary and keep them for later. …’I come undone’ for example is from the recordings of the first album and was finally used for the EP ‘For the Kingdom’.”
Dennis about recording a live DVD:”Technically this is not a problem, but the financial situation is a different one. Big festivals like Masters of Rock and bang your head record the shows and offer the recordings to the bands for money. I don’t know how expensive this is, but I guess it is not too much and may be worth the investment. There are also some ‘procams’ which are very small and can be placed on stage. They record in very high quality. But I think shooting a live DVD after only 2 albums is too early, but it is a topic which will be discussed.”
