About Me:
Metal" Udo Dirkschneider and his band U.D.O.
Already since 1987, the group of the two former members of Accept, Udo
Dirkschneider (vocals) and Stefan Kaufmann (guitar) convince with pure Heavy
Metal first class. After U.D.O.'s 2009 album "Dominator" was a true triumph,
fans and critics are waiting strained for the sequel, which is called "Rev-Raptor"
and will be released on 20 May.
The first single "Leatherhead" answered the question of the style's alignment of
the new work meaningful: with "Rev-Raptor" U.D.O. provide the logical
successor to "Dominator". The concise rhythms, with their partly machine-like
grooves, are a perfect complement to the traditional and as usual outstanding
songwriting of the band. Dirkschneider's incisive voice brings even armoured
concrete to quake and the band's sound underwent a further refinement.
The band is not keen to just warm up the glorious past of their Accept days, but
breaks new ground without denying their roots in the slightest, or getting lost in
confusing experiments. U.D.O. are professionals, as they have unfortunately
become rare these days. With their kind of self reflecting half-ballad "I Give As
Good As I Get", Dirkschneider and band also set a highlight outside of their
tough Metal sound, including an appropriate video clip.
Even with the cover design U.D.O. go for new ways, as such a sensational,
bright artwork in comic style like the one of "Rev-Raptor" has never been
before! But be sure that U.D.O., whatever they do, are a constant quality. So
"Rev-Raptor" was again recorded in the Roxx studios of guitarist Stefan
Kaufmann.
1981 should become an important year for the young band Accept, led by Udo
Dirkschneider. They had their international breakthrough with "Breaker" and with
"Restless and Wild" (1982), "Balls To The Wall" (1983), "Metal Heart" and
"Russian Roulette" many excellent works published within a short period of time.
Then there was a break-up: Figurehead Udo Dirkschneider started a solo career
with his own band and got off with an excellent start: the debut "Animal House"
(1987) as well as albums such as "Mean Machine", "Faceless World" and "Time
Bomb" helped Dirkschneider to immediately gain respect with his new band,
convince the critics and keep the huge fan base.
In 1992, with Dirkschneider back as front man, Accept could once again return
to previous success, but already in 1997, Udo continued his solo career and
released the "Solid" album. While his former Accept colleagues withdrew
completely from the music and the scene in general, it were Dirkschneider and
Stefan Kaufmann who continued to bestow the fans with stainless steel from
Solingen. Extensive touring was the result of the continuously growing popularity
of U.D.O., but it didn't impair the band in their creativity. Actually the complete
opposite happened: especially the last two studio albums "Mastercutor" (2007)
and "Dominator" (2009) impressed with irrepressible freshness, creativity,
enthusiasm and liveliness. Their sequel "Rev-Raptor" now marks another high
in the history of U.D.O.
