July 17 street date. Limited silver vinyl edition. "We Are One" is one of the most elaborate concept albums the market has ever seen, combining U.D.O.'s hard rocking sound with a 60 piece orchestra, creating a wholly unique worldwide musical project! The album was written in collaboration with the official Concert Band of the German Armed Forces (Musikkorps der Bundeswehr) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Christoph Scheibling and is a wholly unique worldwide musical project. The album contains 15 new songs that have been developed and arranged by U.D.O. together with Christoph Scheibling. The two former Accept musicians Stefan Kaufmann and Peter Baltes have been part of the songwriting too - as well as the German Armed Forces' composers Guido Rennert and Alexander Reuber. Not to be compared with the 'rock band meets orchestra' collaborations that already exist in the music world, the hard rocking sound of U.D.O. has not only been intensified by a 60 piece orchestra, but contains some unique arrangements that underline how characteristic yet versatile U.D.O. is. :We Are One" is a critical reflection of a world in which we all leave our mark, and in which we all have to show responsibility. Udo Dirkschneider about the message behind the songs: "We all live on this planet. No matter who we are or what we do, we all just have this one planet!"

October 22 street date. "Game Over!" - that's what rock icon Udo Dirkschneider (original voice of iconic band Accept) proclaims on his new U.D.O. record. One thing becomes clear immediately: U.D.O. is not doing things by halves and so they give everything they have. During hundreds of shows worldwide, some of them in the most remote places of Russia and South-America, the band has become one unit and a conglomerate of passionate musicians and friends. Each of them knows exactly, when and how to play his instrument to match to the sound of the band perfectly. Songs like "Metal Never Dies", "Kids And Guns" and "Prophecy" are precise, powerful, catchy and bursting of energy. And most notably they are timeless. All the songs on this record feature a distinctive character that convinces today as well as it will convince tomorrow.
