Former HELLOWEEN frontman Michael Kiske has set the tentative track listing for his upcoming solo album, tentatively due in early 2006 via Italy's Frontiers Records.

In other news, Kiske has revealed that he has been approached by STRATOVARIUS mainman Timo Tolkki about a collaboration on a non-metal album. No further details are available at this time. Kiske will also be re-releasing his debut solo album, "Instant Clarity" (originally issued in 1996), featuring three previously unreleased bonus songs.

L'actu est carrément bandante ces dernier jours.

Frontiers Records will release former HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske's new solo album, simply entitled "Kiske", on May 19.

Featuring Karsten Nagel — Michael's old schoolmate — on drums and Sandro Giampietro and Fontaine Burnett on guitars and bass, respectively, "Kiske" is said to be a very personal statement — from the beginning to the end. "The best way of describing what this record stands for in my mind and personal world would be: it's a health-careless and musically free!" said Kiske in less-than-perfect English. "I somehow managed to break down or overcome more subconscious barriers as a songwriter this time. I was able to write and produce a record that could either be a nice ending or beginning for a new career.'

Michael wanted to tirelessly explore his more melodic and straightforward roots, in the process producing a record that is completely free from all pressure and that could portrait the artist in its most personal musical statements.

"Kiske" track listing:

01. Fed By Stones

04. Kings Fall
05. Hearts Are Free
06. The King Of It All
07. Sing My Song
08. Silently Craving
09. Truly
10. Painted
11. Sad As The World

Que ceux qui pensent qu'il va revenir aux affaires cette fois-ci auront tout faux.
Ca a pas l'air non plus dégueu. C'est assez frais apparemment. J'ai hâte d'entendre ça dans son entier.

oui ça il revient pas aux affaires, j'ai eu peur au début, c'est très pop, bien commercial, pour le moment, il chante pas trop faux, et c'est agreable a écouter en fin de soirée mais je suis pas sur que ça va tourner dans la platine
