U.D.O. are the epitome of German metal! The band around iconic vocalist Udo Dirkschneider (ex-Accept) has just completed their 15th studio album, titled DECADENT Once again U.D.O. combines powerful, traditional heavy metal with an up-to-date sound. Following 2013's STEELHAMMER album, DECADENT surprisingly raises the bar by another notch and became one of U.D.O.'s finest works ever. The album was produced by Udo Dirkschneider and Mattes Pfeiffer (Redhead Audio Productions, Wilhelmshaven) in collaboration with Fitty Wienhold - just like the team worked for STEELHAMMER. The songs were recorded in Udo and Fitty's "Double U" studios, while Mattes' studio in Wilhelmshaven (Germany) was the place for mixing. All U.D.O. members were involved in the songwriting process. DECADENT then finally was mastered by Jacob Hansen (a.o. Volbeat).
