U.D.O.Â released their latest studio album,Â Touchdown, in August via Atomic Fire Records. The record, which marks the musical reunion of singer Udo Dirkschneider and bassist Peter Baltes (ex-Accept) who joined theÂ U.D.O.Â ranks earlier this year, continues to reap critical accolades globally and entered the official German album charts at #4 upon its first week of release marking the highest charting result in their homeland in their long-running career!

Preview and purchaseÂ TouchdownÂ atÂ THIS LOCATION.

âAs the title track brings things to a close, hurtling along at light speed, one might wonder aloud how Udo Dirkschneider still has the energy for all of this. But he does, and Touchdown is an unpretentious, hard-hitting joy as a result.âÂ âÂ Blabbermouth

âThis is indeed a touchdown and deserves a gratuitous end-zone celebration by all involved. Impressive stuff from one of metalâs elder statesmen.â â Angry Metal Guy

ââ¦quintessential and classicÂ U.D.O., with Dirkschneider and friends delivering traditional speedy heavy metal with his whiskey gruff vocals at the forefront. If youâre a fan, you will enjoy this album. Recommended.âÂ âDangerdog

âIf you want a solid heavy metal record featuring now two legends, Touchdown is a good example as to why these guys have rocked out for so long.â â Heavy Music HQ

âPowerfully stomping and full of never-ending energy: Touchdown is a diversified and well-conceived album â even at such a late point ofÂ U.D.O.âs career!â â Metal Hammer (DE)

âU.D.O.Â at their best â traditional heavy metal the way itâs meant to be!â â Legacy

âA masterclass in heavy metal while being aware of the world we live in!â â Rock Tribune

âTouchdown showcases impressively thatÂ U.D.O.Â are far from being on the shelf yet, but â like choice wine â keep becoming better and better over the years!â â Rock Hard

âThe latest studio albumÂ TouchdownÂ features the return of ex-Accept bassist Peter Baltes to the fold â and an array of material that showcases an artist willing to keep one foot in his conventional traditional, old-school wheelhouse, while also encouraging his younger musical compatriots to develop songs that contain some modern angst, power, and bite.â â Dead Rhetoric

âIâm not sure how I went this far into the review without mentioning the inclusion of classic Accept bassist Peter Baltes, but his bass playing and backing vocals really do add an extra retro metal kick. I canât wait to hear what heâll contribute toÂ U.D.O.Â in terms of songwriting on subsequent releases. Until then, Iâll put on my helmet and put on my best game face.Â TouchdownÂ gives me every reason to do so.â â Defenders Of The Faith Metal

âItâs not just good on disc; with the mix of speed, melody and aggression, most of these songs are bound to make a killing in the live setting. Great stuff.â â The Metal Crypt
