Touchdown 7.7 Can the heavy metal veterans U.D.O. pull off another touchdown performance after 36 years with their balls to the wall? Or should we Accept another squandered opportunity?

Steelfactory 7.5 U.D.O. are back with their sixteenth studio album, Steelfactory, and it comes just after Udo Dirkschneider's worldwide tour under the name Dirkschneider, in which this heavy metal legend performed his Accept material for the last time.

Mission N°X 4.0 The other day I was reviewing "24/7" the "promotional" EP of the new album of Mr Udo Dirkschneider with U.D.O., not really surprising this CD was even actually a bit scary because except "24/7" and a song that's not...

24/7 5.0 It's always hard for me to do the review of an EP. After all, a lot of time this is just a preview of an upcoming album, and it's not so easy to write something about it. But at least we only have two songs (Mean Streets and 24/7) of the upcoming...
