588. Unisonic / Ignition (EP). 2012. 4/5

This single is the pre-cursor to the debut album from the new band Unisonic, and as a taster it succeeds in whetting the appetite.
What this brings to the table is what you are hoping - up tempo songs with that familiar European power-speed metal sound, powered up to 10 by the presence of Kai Hansen on guitar and song-writing duties, and driven by the still wonderful vocals of Michael Kiske.
Backing up the short and sharp single "Unisonic" is another song from the upcoming album, "My Sanctuary", and a fairly substantial demo version of "Souls Alive".
Then, just to prove these guys still pack a punch, there is a live version of the Helloween favourite "I Want Out", which showcases the band perfectly, and proves that they all still have what it takes.
All in all, this is an excellent EP to set up the debut album's release.
