U.D.O.: „Leatherhead“-EP out now / Snippet of new song available for streaming!

The new U.D.O. EP „Leatherhead“, is available in stores now. The EP already includes 2 brand new tracks from the upcoming album “Rev-Raptor”, to be released on May 20th. 

The EP`s second new song "Rock´n´Roll Soldiers is available for streaming HERE.

For nearly four decades already, the former ACCEPT founding members Udo Dirkschneider and Stefan Kaufmann are into music business. Thereby they never thought about taking a break or making musical changes.

The two have remained loyal to themselves over the years and thus became an important piece of German rock history. They live and do what they are as scarcely anybody else and are known worldwide as two highly respected rock legends.

With "Leatherhead" they pay tribute to their lives: The piece is homage to all the rockers and headbangers of the planet and a hymn to the lifestyle of the rock scene. Even the other tracks on the EP are held in the spirit of the Rock'n'Roll message. "Rock 'n' Roll Soldier" and "Free Or rebellion" are telling the story of the unshakable, unwavering Rock'n'Roll mentality.

And speaking of Rock'n'Roll mentality: While rock fans these days are engaged with the EP "Leatherhead", Udo Dirkschneider and his colleagues are already packing bags. At the End of April U.D.O. will depart to tour South America. Kick off date will be April 30th in Mexico City, subsequently guiding the tour through Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Accurate to the "Rev-Raptor" release date (May 20th), the band will be back in Europe.

1. Leatherhead

2. Rock’ n’ Roll Soldiers

3. Free Or Rebellion (non album track)

Back On Track

The rise of SHAKRA continues!

Since Everest, the band have recruited new vocalist John Prakesh, and showcase their newly refined lineup on their latest piece of work, Back On Track. Recorded and produced at the renowned Power Ride Studios with the band's own guitarist Thom Blunier, the new album is quite varied from previous releases, as SHAKRA´s catchy rock moves in some slightly new directions. Prakesh´s voice allows the unit to combine the classic SHAKRA sound with the most passionate, soulful and energetic vocals the band ever offered. [http://www.shakra.ch]

Formed by two former members of Accept -- Udo Dirkschneider (vocals) and Stefan Kaufmann (guitar) --U.D.O. have been flying their triumphant flag since their 1987 formation, but their 2009-releasedDominator was a true triumph for the band, as the endless praise from fans and metal critics alike will attest. Since Dominator's release, fans have been venomously awaiting the follow-up, and the wait is now over, as their thirteenth studio album, entitled Rev-Raptor, is confirmed for stateside release on May 31! On the thirteen-track album, U.D.O. provide the logical successor toDominator; its concise rhythms and machine-like grooves are a perfect complement to the traditional and as usual outstanding songwriting of the band, and Dirkschneider's incisive voice as always triumphantly at the forefront of the action.[http://www.udo-online.de]
