Then, years later, he came along with his new and current project, Place Vendome, a title that was inspired by the Parisian square, who fired up Kiske’s reputation and broke his self-exile. But he also joined several Metal projects like the successful Metal operas of Avantasia and Aina, performed a song with Gamma Ray in 1996, and formed the Hard Rock Supared, that turned out to be a short lived project with only one album. During this period, which began in 1994, after his leaving of Helloween, he released five solo albums of AOR. When Kiske left Helloween he vowed not to make anymore Heavy Metal songs, denounced the themes of Metal and put himself under a strange self-exile. In his later years in Helloween, for the first time, you notice Kiske’s blinks towards Melodic Hard Rock or even AOR material with titles like “Number One” and “Windmill” between 1991-1993. These two albums placed Kiske in the same line as two other Metal Gods, Dickinson and Halford. To many old Metalheads all over the world, Michael Kiske was a starlet vocalist since his days in his school group, Ill Prophecy and afterwards as the young vocalist of the early Helloween, whom he recorded four albums with, which two of them, Keeper Of The Seven Keys 1+2 will be forever classics in Metal.
