The recordings for "Rev-Raptor" took place between June 2010 and February 2011 at Roxx studios (owned by U.D.O. guitarist and ex-ACCEPT drummer Stefan Kaufmann) in Pulheim, Germany. The CD was mastered by Manfred Melchior at MM Sound Digital studios in Steinhagen, Germany. The album's cover artwork is once again a comic-like motif: but the "Dominator" character is this time "a lot more effectual and colorful," according to a press release.
"Rev-Raptor" was originally scheduled for release in January but was delayed by the back problems experienced by Kaufmann, the same issue that forced him to quit playing drums for ACCEPT back in the day. Stefan recently received medical treatment for this condition and had recovered enough to have played with the band on November 6, 2010 at the Rock Antenne festival at Schwabenhalle in Augsburg.
U.D.O. will release a new single, "Leatherhead", on April 8 via AFM Records.
The track listing for the effort is as follows:
01. Leatherhead
02. Rock'n'Roll Soldiers *
03. Free Or Rebellion **
04. Run! **
05. Jingle Balls (video clip)
06. Leatherhead (video clip)
* Bonus track
** Non-album bonus track
U.D.O.'s last album, "Dominator", entered the official chart in Germanyat position No. 27. This marked the highest German chart entry in U.D.O.'s history.
