Spectacular news from The Unity: The German-Italian power metal band featuring Gamma Ray members Henjo Richter (guitar) and Michael Ehré (drums) announces a new member: Tobias "Eggi" Exxel (Edguy) is confirmed as the band‘s new bass player and will join The Unity on their tour in September and October 2022 (see tour dates below). "I'm really happy to be part of one of the musically strongest and in a live context most thrilling European metal bands," explains Exxel, who represents, along with Richter, Ehré, singer Gianba Manenti, guitarist Stef E and keyboardist Sascha Onnen, an awesome metal six-pack.

After their four successful albums 'The Unity' (2017), 'Rise' (2018), 'Pride' (2020) and 'The Devil You Know - Live' (2021), tours all over Europe as headlining act or in a package with Sinner, Edguy or Axel Rudi Pell, among others, are in the pipeline, as well as shows at renowned festivals such as 'Masters Of Rock' in the Czech Republic, 'Knockout-Festival' in Karlsruhe or 'Bang Your Head' in Balingen, The Unity are currently preparing flat out for their upcoming concerts.

That Tobias Exxel fits into the band structure perfectly was more than obvious at The Unity concerts as special guests during the Rhapsody Of Fire tour and currently at a sensational show at the 'Rock Castle' festival in the Czech Republic. "After some fantastic shows, where Eggi helped us out at short notice, this is the result of a natural development," everyone involved agrees. “Everything just gelled from the first second! Together with Eggi, our fans can be sure that we’ve got lots of surprises up our sleeve.”

Now, go and get it and dig deep into this fantastic atmosphere created by YOU - our fans and friends!!!

Unfortunatelly our tour with Rage and Last Days Of Eden in November had to be canceled! We're really sorry for that but we hope to share the stage with both bands in the future...

So the only chance to see us live is to come to one of our X-mas shows in Nordenham on 25th and 26th December. Better get your tickets now as there are only a few left!

Rage states:

"As you have noticed probably, we had to cancel our planned "Live Resurrection 2021 Tour". The ongoing pandemic doesn't allow us to carry out shows without restrictions, which influence our shows in a way, that we cannot guarantee them to be successful for all people involved."

We´re really proud to announce the release of "THE DEVIL YOU KNOW - LIVE",  our very first live-album!!! This album is our very own reaction to the lockdown, which has not been fully lifted. For months, music fans were denied the most important thing in their lives: live concerts! That´s why we decided to give our fans exactly that: THE UNITY LIVE! For us this is both a salute to our fans and a consolation to make up for the many shows that didn´t happen.

"Last Days Of Eden" will be the opening act!

RAGE states:
"RAGE-HEADS,
we are happy to show you the final Line-Up for our Live Resurrection in Europe in November and December 2021.
Amongst „Last Days Of Eden“ & „Manimal“, we will have our label brothers „The Unity“ & our agency brothers and new thrash hope „BONDED“ (Ex Sodom) with us.
@The Unity: Melodic Power Metal from Germany – Consisting of excellent musicians, who formerly played in legendary bands like „Gamma Ray“ & „Mob Rules“, you can expect to get rocked the hell out of you.
@BONDED: „Ruhrpott“ Thrash Metal at it’s finest – After splitting from SODOM, „Makka“ & „Bernemann“ decided to keep the true thrash-spirit alive, so they, inter alia, gathered with „Ingo Bajonczak“ (known from @Assassin / @Lord Of Giant) and „Chris Tsitsis“ (known from @Suicidal Angels) to form that new phoenix rising from the ashes. You can expect pure, raw energy on stage.

We are so much looking forward to play this Tour and seeing you all in front of the European stages.

Stay healthy & see you soon

Peavy, Lucky, Jean, Stefan & Lucky Bob Music Agency"

SEE YOU ON TOUR! WE CAN´T WAIT TO HIT THE STAGES AGAIN!!! BE THERE!!!

The new THE UNITY album entered the official german album charts at #69! What a great success...thanks to the fans and everybody involved!!!!!

We can not believe it at the moment: our second album "Rise" entered the official german album charts! What we  have experienced as a band in the last one and a half years is almost unbelievable: two great tours, many festivals and now the chart entry. As if this is not enough we are in the midst of the preparations for our next tour, which will take us across Europe with Axel Rudi Pell. We are looking forward to meet our friends and fans again, whom we can not thank enough for their support!

Only about a year and a half after the presentation of their self-titled debut album in spring 2017, German-Italian melodic metal act The Unity are ready to strike again: 14 September 2018 will see the release of their current album Rise on SPV/Steamhammer. The recording features 13 brand-new songs and was cut by drummer Michael Ehré (Gamma Ray) at the B Castle Studio. Rise was produced by the band themselves and, like its predecessor, mixed and mastered by Spanish sound engineer Miquel A. Riutort at the Psychosomatic Recording Studio. The first single to be released from the album will be ‘No Hero’ on August 10th, the second single will be supported by an elaborate video clip. Aside from Ehré, The Unity continue to consist of guitarists Henjo Richter (Gamma Ray) and Stef, vocalist Gianbattista Manenti, bassist Jogi Sweers and keyboardist Sascha Onnen.

“The new songs reflect the amazing energy and extremely enthusiastic responses at our shows, but also the very positive media reactions,” Michael Ehré sums up the material on Rise. With their debut album The Unity were unanimously voted into the “Newcomer of the Year” category by the two leading German metal magazines, Metal Hammer and Rock Hard.  Subsequently the six-piece enthralled their fans at tours with Edguy and Sinner and cleaned up at festivals such as Bang Your Head, Metalfest and Winter Masters Of Rock.

Talking of which – soon after its release, Rise will also be presented to The Unity’s rapidly growing fan base as part of an extensive tour: from mid-October 2018, The Unity will accompany Axel Rudi Pell and his band, and the date of the big release show at Ehré’s home town of Nordenham has already been announced (see tour dates). So the second round of The Unity’s triumphal march is about to kick off!

We´re happy to announce that THE UNITY is confirmed for this year´s  METAL HAMMER PARADISE-Festival!

The METAL HAMMER PARADISE will take place on 02. and 03. November in the beautiful surroundings of the holiday resort Weissenhäuser Strand situated right at the coast of the Baltic Sea. As some of us do appreciate a bit of comfort and do not necessarily need camping grounds, clammy sleeping bags, canned soup and waiting in line to use a porta-loo to get the real festival feeling, the resort provides fully equipped apartments, hotel rooms and several restaurants, cafés and bars.

The concerts and performances take place indoors on three stages. And when, after a long night of dancing and headbanging the neck feels a bit stiff and the head a bit heavy, a nice walk on the beach or a jump in the pool followed by some time in the sauna or a relaxing massage will feel just right and help to get one’s energy back.

The METAL HAMMER PARADISE combines the fun part of a true festival with the recreational effect of a short trip. It is a metal festival - but you won’t have to take a couple of days off to recover afterwards.

We have some fantastic news for you:

THE UNITY will hit the road again in October/November 2018 as special guest for AXEL RUDI PELL!
This is what we call "perfect timing" as we´re in the middle of the songwriting process for our second album, which will come out shortly before the tour with Axel starts!

“Chris Bay” (Freedom Call vocalist) will perform some acoustic songs on selected dates * !
