Place Vendome is the debut album of the hard rock project Place Vendome. The songwriting for this album was provided by Dennis Ward ( Pink Cream 69), with further contributions from David Readman and Alfred Koffler. [4]
The album received very positive reviews and was hailed as vocalist's Michael Kiske's glorious return to a heavier rock sound, since his exit from the German power metal band Helloween in 1993. [5] [6]
It was released on 10 October 2005 with cover art credited to Carl André Beckston.
