The band released the EP Ignition and their first studio album Unisonic in 2012. The EP For the Kingdom and the second album Light of Dawn came out in 2014. Both studio albums have scored high entries in several international music charts. Unisonic is the first full studio collaboration between Kiske and Hansen since Helloween's albums Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part I and Part II.
Vocalist Michael Kiske (Helloween), bassist Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69) and drummer Kosta Zafiriou (ex-Pink Cream 69) had already worked together in the AOR project Place Vendome. After the release of Place Vendome's second album, Streets of Fire in 2009, the aforementioned musicians decided to work together and form a new band. Dennis Ward suggested the recruitment of Swiss guitarist Mandy Meyer (Asia, Gotthard, Krokus). Mandy Meyer commented on the band's name: "There were so many ideas for a name and everybody liked Unisonic at the end. It fits to our band. United musicians from different backgrounds and countries". Unisonic began their first tour in June 2010, playing some warm-up shows in Germany and performing at the Sweden Rock Festival and the Masters of Rock Festival. These were the first live shows of Michael Kiske since his departure from Helloween in 1993.
Another former Helloween member, guitarist Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray), joined the band in March 2011. The new line-up performed its first show in Loud Park Festival (Japan) on 15 October 2011. In January 2012, the band released its first EP titled Ignition, through EarMusic (Edel AG), together with a video for the song "Unisonic". The band's self-titled debut album was released on 30 March 2012 and entered several international music charts, scoring the highest points on the Finnish albums chart, Japanese albums chart, German albums chart and Swedish albums chart.
Unisonic embarked on their first world tour in May 2012 playing in South America and in various European music festivals, such as Masters of Rock, Hellfest, Rock Hard and Gods of Metal among others. The second half of the tour included concerts in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Russia, Spain and Germany.
The band's second EP, For the Kingdom, came out in May 2014, the video for the song "Exceptional" followed in July, while their second album, Light of Dawn, was released on 1 August 2014. Light of Dawn entered several international music charts, scoring the highest entries on the Finnish albums chart, German albums chart, Swiss albums chart, Czech albums chart and Japanese albums chart. The band embarked on a summer festival tour in July 2014, performing at Masters Of Rock, Leyendas del Rock, Moscow Metal Meeting and Bang Your Head among others. A Japanese and European tour together with Edguy followed, while the band's final show was at the Knock Out Festival in December 2014.
On 5 August 2016 the band performed their first show at Wacken Open Air, which was recorded and released under the title Live in Wacken on 21 July 2017. On 6 September 2016 Kosta Zafiriou announced his retirement as a professional drummer, remaining only in his job as Unisonic's manager.
In an interview with Brazilian journalist Gastão Moreira, Kai Hansen said that the band is dead since 2017, when he and Michael Kiske reunited with Helloween.

No One Ever Sees Me
Unisonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the deeper pain inside
and if you ask she's alright
but in the night she cries
Her father says: You better get your head right!
Cause if you don't, you'll lose the fight of life
You'll find a man that will give you guidance
do you ever think about us?
No one ever sees me!
No one ever hears me!
No one knows me
No one feels my pain
I fade away
Sati's dad is honoring
what always was tradition
he will choose who'll marry her,
there must be no confusion!
And if she starts to babble `bout love
I will forget what I am made of
I will end her life with my own hands
do what it takes and what honor still demands
it ends right here
No one ever sees me!
No one ever hears me!
No one knows me
No one feels my pain
I fade away
No one ever sees me!
No one ever hears me!
No one knows me
No one feels my pain
The lyrics of "No One Ever Sees Me" by Unisonic revolve around two different stories of individuals who feel unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. In the first story, Anna is hiding her inner pain behind self-harm and the facade of being fine when asked. Her father urges her to seek help from someone who can guide her and possibly know what she has been keeping to herself. However, Anna feels that no one really sees her pain and what she is going through.
The second story speaks about Sati, whose father is determined to uphold the tradition of choosing her husband. Sati feels that her feelings and desires are being ignored and her father is more concerned with adhering to the rules of their culture. He even goes as far as saying he will take her life if she disobeys. Sati also feels that no one sees her, hears her, or feels her pain.
The song touches upon the common human condition of feeling disconnected and invisible. It raises awareness about the need for empathy, validation and acknowledgement of emotions. The lyrics portray the struggles that come with being overlooked or ignored, even by those closest to us.
Overall, "No One Ever Sees Me" is a powerful reminder that emotional pain is real and it can be life-threatening. The song encourages individuals who are struggling to open up, seek help and break the chains of silence.

That acoustic intro... beautiful.
Also, reminds me of Type O Negative's Christian Woman. The middle section. :)
