U.D.O. - MASTERCUTER CD

Sometimes words are just totally insufficient to describe the importance of an artist. There are few like Udo Dirkschneider, truly a Metal icon, and the head of his great band U.D.O. since 1987. In fact, by playing together in the same line-up for years, this band is better than ever today. And now with absolutely no sign of wear at all, U.D.O. strike back with an example of just how Heavy Metal should sound in 2007. "Mastercutor”. Yes, of course, it's traditional, you'd expect little else, but it's also a very fresh and powerful record, which follows the tradition of U.D.O. / ACCEPT, but with a few surprises to match! A song like "Vendetta” could easily have been on ACCEPT’s "Metal Heart” and will enthuse fans both old and new. The first single "The Wrong Side Of Midnight” combines thunderous Heavy Metal with fine oriental vocal parts; yet it doesn't end there! "Master Of Disaster” and "Dead Man's Eyes” both possess the energy of Thrash Metal without lacking melody. Whilst "One Lone Voice” is a total opposite, a very catchy theme and a beautiful chorus line balanced delicately between power and expression. Then there's the title track - all a Heavy Metal song needs, soon to be hailed a classic!
