The new U.D.O. album will be released on May 24th, 2013 via AFM Records.
Pas de titre encore donc je modifierais le titre du topic en temps voulu!
Sinon du changement dans le line up:
Hello everybody,
we have to inform you that Igor has left U.D.O.
due to conflicts between band appointments and his private life and business.
Since the business of U.D.O. develops and the band tours more and more all over the world Igor simply wasn´t available for so many different long periods. The band respects his decision and wishes him all the best for the future. Igor was with the band since nearly 15 years now and became a very important and highly respected bandmember.
Thank you very much Igor!!!!!!!
Thanks to our metal god the band already found a new bandmate: finnish guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen. Well we can write now that together with our other new guitarist Andrey Smirnov they are one of the best guitar teams in metal but we don´t want to do that because every other band does like this. We´re sure you will find out by yourself and than you will write exactly that fact!
The band is very happy to have found Kasperi and now the metal machine will go ahead better than ever. Watch out for the Steelhammer!!!!!!!
Some personal facts about Kasperi:
Kasperi Heikkinen (born August 4th 1980) is a Finnish rock musician, a guitar player and a guitar teacher. He's also the founding member and the songwriter of the Finnish heavy metal band MERGING FLARE. The debut album of MERGING FLARE, "Reverence", was released in 2011 and was highly praised among the critics. His past activities include 4 studio albums and international touring with symphonic metal band AMBERIAN DAWN, 2 studio albums with the progressive death metal outfit ELENIUM (Fin), 1 studio album with traditional hard rock/heavy metal line-up CONQUEST, and various smaller releases such as EPs and singles.
Besides that Kasperi has worked with some tribute bands, such as GUARDIANS OF MANKIND (Gamma Ray), VICARS OF HELL (Judas Priest) and MACDETH (Megadeth). He has also done some live session touring in Europe and Russia with German power metallers GAMMA RAY.
Finally Igor has a personal message for the fans of the band:
"It was a great time and I want to warmly thank everybody who shared it with me, band members, crew guys, and everyone who supported and worked with us to make it happen!
A really big and special thank goes to our fans for their incredible support, you were great !!!
Wish you all the best! Igor"

"Metal Machine", the new video from U.D.O. — the German metal band led by former ACCEPT frontman Udo Dirkschneider — can be seen below. The song comes off U.D.O.'s new album, "Steelhammer", which will be released on May 24 via AFM Records. The CD was produced by Dirkschneider and Fitty Wienhold.
When you're this gig, they call you...
...But you can't find the time
Vraiment quelconque ce Metal Machine... Bon avec UDO, c'est un euphémisme, mais quand même le changement de line-up aurait pu être source de "nouveauté".. RevRaptor était plutôt sympa...donc la logique voudrait que ce Steelhammer soit moyen.
Superbe cette version Metal d'une revendication populaire des indignés en Espagne j'aimerai bien savoir qui est en duo avec lui au chant mais ça sonne vraiment bien
