HELLOWEEN's ANDI DERIS On MICHAEL KISKE: 'It's A Shame That We Did Not Know Each Other For Decades'

Vocalist Andi Deris of veteran German power metallers HELLOWEEN recently spoke to El Cuartel Del Metal about his personal chemistry with fellow HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske, who rejoined the band several years ago in time for the "Pumpkins United" tour. Asked if he was nervous about working with Kiske so closely since they did not know each other very well prior to the start of the tour, Andi, who lives in Tenerife, the largest of the Spanish Canary Islands, said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). "I was quite confident, because it's not like we met one day in Germany and then suddenly he came to [visit me on] the island. We had several weeks, actually, to get to know each other, and it was quite clear that I liked him and he liked me. So we even told ourselves, 'Hey, you're a cool guy.' And he was, 'Hey, same to you.' We realized that it's a shame, actually, that we did not know each other for decades. Because when you realize it's something that could fit and you've got the same subjects you talk about and you've got a philosophy which is very compatible, then you ask yourself, 'Why didn't I meet that guy way earlier in my life?' Nevertheless we have all the time in the world now [laughs] to sit down and rescue the world."

Deris continued: "When [Kiske] came to the island, it was quite clear that we were gonna have a good time. The management, actually, told us, 'Michael is coming onto the island and you guys should sit down in the studio and talk about vocal arrangements and all that shit' — which we never did. [Laughs] We were just constantly traveling around. I said, 'Michael, hey, here's my Porsche. Let's go. Let's drive through the island.' In my convertible, I opened the roof and we had, like, two weeks — [going] from one beach to the other. That was the perfect thing to do. And I think the management knows."

Last August, Deris spoke to Ecuador's Telón De Acero radio about how he and his bandmates have managed to pull off the seemingly impossible by uniting Kiske and guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen with Deris, guitarists Michael Weikath and Sascha Gerstner, bassist Markus Grosskopf and drummer Daniel Löble. He said: "I may say [Michael and Kai] are friends now. I didn't know them, actually [before we got together to discuss their return to HELLOWEEN]. [Laughs] In the beginning, it was… To be honest, I did not know what to expect. I didn't know Kai, I didn't know Michael, and we just sat around the big round table and everybody was sniffing at each other's ass, like dogs. But, hey, we liked each other. So we just were scared that this is something like in the beginning you feel it's a cool guy and after you work with him, you think it's an asshole, or something like that. So you never know. So with the time, we learned to very much respect each other and like each other. And I can say with Michael Kiske, I found a definitely long-, long-, long-missed friend for my life. And we just are both a bit angry that we didn't get to know each other way earlier, because two singers who tick in the same rhythm could have been quite a great thing in my life the last 20 years. So I'm happy to have him now. And I may say that because you guys, you all know I'm not gay. [Laughs]"

Deris elaborated on the interpersonal chemistry between all the members of the reunited expanded classic lineup of the German power metal band. He said: "There are seven pumpkins, and each and every pumpkin is a character. And each and every day is different. Because we are so, I think, super-crazy characters that each and every day there's another story going on. So it's something you may be thrilled about and you wait what's happening next; you never know in this band. But because I think everybody at least likes each other and respects each other, I think this is something that you… When we're not making music anymore, you'll probably looking back into that time and say this was the greatest time of my life, because it was thrilling and every day something different was going on.

"One month touring with HELLOWEEN is like a year [laughs] — so many things happen and so many talks we have," Andi added. "So, yeah, it's super great being together with the guys because of that. It's no boring thing going on. I mean, look at Markus [Grosskopf] — Markus is a party animal, our bass player. There's not one day you're not laughing your ass off because he's so crazy. Then you've got our drug lord Kai. He's always in for a surprise. And you go, like, 'Oh my God.' Or you go, like, 'Woo hoo hoo,' or whatever. There's a lot of crazy people in the band. I just wonder that it works. [Laughs]"

Upon its release in June 2021, HELLOWEEN's latest, self-titled album landed in the Top 10 in more than 10 countries, including Germany, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Austria. The cover artwork for the LP was painted by artist Eliran Kantor, who has previously worked with HATEBREED, SOULFLY, TESTAMENT, ICED EARTH and SODOM, among others.

Produced by Charlie Bauerfeind and Dennis Ward, "Helloween" was recorded in part at the H.O.M.E. Studios in Hamburg (where everything started in 1984). The same recording console used for such HELLOWEEN albums as "Master Of The Rings", "Time Of The Oath" and "Better Than Raw" was utilized to record the band's new material. The effort was mixed at the Valhalla Studios of Ronald Prent (IRON MAIDEN, DEF LEPPARD, RAMMSTEIN).

"Helloween" saw the legendary German power metallers going "back to the roots," with the band recording fully analogue and Daniel Löble playing the drum kit previously used by HELLOWEEN's original drummer, the late Ingo Schwichtenberg, on the legendary "Keeper Of The Seven Keys" recordings.

The "Pumpkins United" tour marked the first time Kiske had played live with HELLOWEEN since 1993. Hansen, who departed HELLOWEEN in 1988, had been joining the band onstage on various tours and festival appearances throughout the years. The set featured several duets with Kiske and his replacement, Deris, along with many rarely played songs, including "Kids Of The Century", "Rise And Fall" and "Livin' Ain't No Crime". Hansen — who fronted HELLOWEEN until late 1986 — sang a medley of several early HELLOWEEN classics, including "Ride The Sky", "Judas", "Starlight" and "Heavy Metal (Is The Law)".

Last year, Deris told the "Metal Command" podcast that he "strongly" hoped the reunited expanded classic lineup of HELLOWEEN would eventually make another album to follow up "Helloween". "I mean, as long as the vibe is great, chemistry is great and everybody's having fun with each other, it would be a crime not to do so and not to plan for a future together," he said.

"'Pumpkins United' is not only the name for the last tour, I think that's something like a brand," he continued. "HELLOWEEN 'Pumpkins United', that's something like a band — a new or something like [that] growing from the old band."

Aiming High

Как-же рад этому реуниуну и именно в этом формате!

17 янв 2023

father

Aiming High, Ещё бы Хансена в гамме поиграть отпустили уже наконец, было бы совсем круто:)

17 янв 2023

Aiming High

father, так вроде Хансен,у которого сегодня ДР,вроде твердо обещал,что новый альбом гаммы обязательно будет.Но ковать железо нужно пока горячо,никуда гамма и унисоник не денутся.

17 янв 2023

Blindman

father, на кой ляд нужна та гамма с таким говновокалистом? Это совсем в уши долбиццо нужно, чтобы страдать, что такое не выходит....

17 янв 2023

gravitgroove

Blindman, Слишком много воды утекло, как Шиперс убёг.

18 янв 2023

father

Blindman, Так не в вокале же дело, мне у гаммы сама музыка нравится, Helloween не такой угарный всё-таки. А насчёт вокалиста… Ну на юбилейном DVD вроде хорошо спел, хотя когда вышел Шиперс, то сразу стало понятно, кто тут на самом деле красавчик.

18 янв 2023

Blindman

father, В каком месте Бэк на юбилейном шоу пел хорошо? Безликое нечто, там и Шиперс то пел далеко не супер, но на фоне этого... А как можно слушать музыку с говновокалом для меня вообще загадка. Хотя дэтстеры привычные, я и забыл

Don Huan

Aiming High, Толку от такого реюниона, если какаху выпустили в итоге?

18 янв 2023

Crane76

Don Huan, Пенсионеры радостно схавали, значит толк есть

18 янв 2023

Aiming High

Don Huan, твердую троечку можно поставить.Задумок много хороших,но чувствуется,что поисписались.Может следующий получше выйдет.

18 янв 2023

Don Huan

Aiming High, Хотелось бы.

olly71

мне интересно сколько этот цирк ещё продержится ? ведь понятно же что это исключительно коммерческое предприятие и такая толпа на сцене на хер там по хорошему не нужна. Эпоха Хансена и Киске безвозвратно ушла в этой группе и у них достаточно работы на стороне а Дерис и один прекрасно всегда справлялся.

olly71, Пока старпёры будут это хавать

18 янв 2023

Умник

olly71, Это все шоу-бизнес. Ключевое слово тут - бизнес. Любой концерт, альбом, клип, песня и тд нужны для того, чтобы на них зарабатывать деньги. В этом нет ничего плохого.

18 янв 2023

olly71

Умник, В этом нет ничего плохого если это не мешает творчеству . Данный табун народу творчеству разумеется мешает . Они и так всю жизнь бухали как в последний день а тут ещё + два собутыльника образовалось . Результат последний альбом явно ниже качества чем мог быть если бы его писал стандартный состав.

18 янв 2023

Reflection

olly71, последний альбом Helloween не хуже того, что выходило у группы предыдущие 20 лет.

18 янв 2023

olly71

Reflection, Это ты так считаешь а я так не считаю и что будем с этим делать ? и это я ещё про ужастнейший звук промолчу . ну это наверно притензии всё таки к продюссеру в первую очередь.

18 янв 2023

Blindman

olly71, звук говенный после кролика начался, новость что ли с этим мудозвоном Чарли. 20 лет уж гадит всем :( На сцене нормально, еще бы Лысый пел нормально и слова не путал, было б еще лучше

18 янв 2023

olly71

Blindman, Говёный звук я так думаю это эпоха слушанья музыки на телепфончиках во время шляянья по улицам. Для таких целей любая сойдёт вот музыканты и не парятся . в 1980-1990е музыку слушали с винила в тихой комнате в удобном кресле . Разные времена разные критерии.

21 янв 2023

EvgenBriden

Blindman, А на мой взгляд шляпа со звуком началась после Легаси, ибо на нём всё звучит как надо )

Последний альбом вообще не зашёл, ток полторы песни... :(

22 янв 2023

Svarg_1349

Blindman, лол, звука там нормального никогда и не было это во-первых, а во-вторых он как раз таки и появился только в Gambling With The Devil и на этом пожалуй всё, более-менее приемлемого саунда с тех пор не завозили. И после таких вот заявлений, ты ещё там предъявляешь кому-то за проблемы со слухом. Ну и да, эти двое в группе нахуй не нужны, при всем уважении к классике которой они создали когда-то. Но деньги сами себя не заработают, а стадионы сами себя не соберут, поэтому этот цирк здесь надолго.

Don Huan

Reflection, Гэмбл и Синнер ты ставишь в один ряд с сегодняшним опусом?)
