UDO DIRKSCHNEIDER: 'I Love To Sing And Create New Songs'

February 3, 2015

On January 28, Rustyn Rose of Metalholic.com conducted an interview with former ACCEPT and current U.D.O. frontman Udo Dirkschneider. You can now listen to the chat in the YouTube clip below.

Asked what motivates him to keep making new music when so many other artists are simply resting on their back catalogs, Udo said: "Yeah, what can I say? I still have fun to do this. This is my passion. I love to sing and create new songs. I don't wanna [be] stuck on my back catalog and go on tour, maybe, and tell the people this is the last tour and go forever on a farewell tour. No, I wanna keep going. I mean, I still have fun to do this. And I think that's the point that keeps me going."

"Pain", a brand new song from U.D.O., can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The track is taken from U.D.O.'s new studio album, "Decadent", which was released in Europe on January 26 via AFM.

With recordings having taken place in Udo's current home, Spanish island Ibiza, and also at Redhead Audio Productions in Wilhelmshaven, this new album looks set to be yet another great statement of intent from a rock idol whose place in rock history is already well cemented.

"Decadent" track listing:

01. Speeder
02. Decadent
03. House Of Fake
04. Mystery
05. Pain
06. Secrets In Paradise
07. Meaning Of Life
08. Breathless
09. Under Your Skin
10. Untouchable
11. Rebels Of The Night
12. Words In Flames

"Decadent" was made available in the following formats: digipak, standard CD, black vinyl, colored vinyl, and as a limited-edition fanbox.

Drummer Francesco Jovino recently left U.D.O. for personal reasons. The group is hoping to find a permanent replacement in time for its next world tour, which is scheduled to kick off in early March.

U.D.O. in 2012 announced the addition of guitarist Andrey Smirnov to the group's ranks. He replaced Stefan Kaufmann, who left the group for health reasons.
