█ Longevity, integrity and constancy - these are the █
█ hallmarks of "Mr. German 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.Æs 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 May █
█ 20. █
█ █
█ 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 ôRev-Raptorö 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. █
