U.D.O. members Udo Dirkschneider (vocals), Sven Dirkschneider (drums) and Fabian "Dee" Dammers (guitar) confirmed in a new interview with 'Rockaxis TV' that the band is in the process of working on new material for the follow-up to 2023's Touchdown.

Dammers said: "I think we have had some talks about it, that obviously, why not do more music? But I guess that's plans for after the Dirkschneider tour; we're gonna have some intense touring with the 40th-anniversary [of Balls To The Wall] tour. And maybe after that, there's time for some new music. We're always ready to create new music. I mean, Sven already said, the cool thing about us is we have all the generations here combined, and, for example, [fellow U.D.O. guitarist] Andrey [Smirnov] and me, we look at music so differently, and sometimes it's like close to being like a fight but then we take the advantages of everybody and just combine it to create something new about it. And I would love to continue that for sure."

Sven adds: "And wherever you go, they [Dee and Andrey] have their studio set up anyway; they're playing guitar the whole day. So, we have some ideas, but it's nothing written in stone yet when the next studio album will be."

Udo concludes: "And also, what will be interesting, I think, is now Peter [Baltes, former Accept and current U.D.O. and Dirkschneider bassist] is also involved in songwriting. I know Peter songwriting-wise — I mean, when I was in Accept a long time — but that will be very interesting. So I'm really looking forward also to the next U.D.O. album now."
