│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ U.D.O. is the home these days of ex-Accept vocal ║ │
│║ lord Udo Dirkschneider, a band whom I am a huge ║ │
│║ fan of, yet despite forming his 'solo' band in ║ │
│║ 1987 after leaving Accept this has never helped ║ │
│║ in me hearing any of their music before. ║ │
│║ "Infected" is the EP set to introduce the world ║ │
│║ to the upcoming 12th U.D.O. album "Dominator" ║ │
│║ (to be reviewed here too) and it's giving me a ║ │
│║ confused view on how to judge the band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The first three songs of the 5 song EP are ║ │
│║ classic heavy metal yet tinged with an ║ │
│║ industrial tone, most noticeable in the title ║ │
│║ track which begins with a most strange guitar ║ │
│║ tone that leads it to be more industrial than ║ │
│║ the classic heavy metal to be expected from such ║ │
│║ a band. "Bodyworld" gets moving with the best ║ │
│║ riff of the three which if it wasn't for the ║ │
│║ industrial tint would sit comfortably among any ║ │
│║ one of Germany's many classic heavy metal bands. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It is then with track 4, "Platche Soldat ║ │
│║ (Remix)" that things take a change for the ║ │
│║ peculiar. I read on a certain popular metal ║ │
│║ archiving site that a lyrical theme of U.D.O.'s ║ │
│║ is Russia and with these two closing tracks sung ║ │
│║ presumably in Russian that is one clue, but for ║ │
│║ these two to be bouncy accordion-led folk/pirate ║ │
│║ metal was totally against my expectations. ║ │
│║ Closer "Poezd Po Rossii", recorded live in ║ │
│║ Moscow last year, is very catchy and along the ║ │
│║ lines of a Korpiklaani or Black Messiah song and ║ │
│║ the benefactor too of some exuberant crowd ║ │
│║ participation, ending up being a piece of good ║ │
│║ fun if nothing too meaningful to a non-German ║ │
│║ and non-Russian like myself. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Short and sweet, "Infected" will get your ║ │
│║ attention if you listen to it, which I guess is ║ │
│║ it's intention, but with only 2222 copies being ║ │
│║ released you will want to move quickly to secure ║ │
│║ yourself one! ║ │
