UNISONIC – Live In Wacken (2017)

Not only that the summer period is the time of the year that’s filled with festivals and open airs, it also feels like quite some bands releasing live albums as we speak: UNISONIC are releasing today “Live In Wacken“.
It’s a busy year for Kai Hansen – his Thank You Wacken live solo album appeared fw weeks ago, and then a month later one of his bands, Unisonic, release their live album, also recorded at Wacken, and of course he’ll be busy preparing for the Helloween Pumpkins united tour.

If you haven’t listened to Unisonic before I’d urge you to check ’em out as it reunites two Helloween legends, Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske. The band’s studio albums are excellent and this live one is nothing short of spectacular.
Unsurprisingly it’s been recorded and filmed at Wacken – not only have the band members played there in the past with Kai Hansen being a regular performer since the start of the festival, but the setup Wacken have in audio facility is second to none.

Unisonic’s “Live In Wacken” is a killer release – the CD is great to listen to (and I’ve listened to it a lot already), and when you’ve got a bit of time to spare then sitting and watching the DVD is great.
Hearing how good Michael Kiske’s voice is even after all these years and that combined with the playing of Kai Hansen and Dennis Ward’s skills, it’s a pleasure to listen to here.
Unisonic is a beast of a band, one of the best you can get out there.
A fantastic live release.
