U.D.O. - 'Touchdown' (official music video)

Gettin’ ready for the match day
The most important game of life
We have the chance to become legends
We have the win in sight

It’s helmet against helmet
We’re fighting arm in arm
We tackle – bones crackle
All for one and one for all

Touchdown
Touchdown
We will rise - they will fall
Touchdown
Touchdown
Do you hear that inner call?
They will remember - the legacy remains intact

The clock is ticking relentlessly
We are playing under pressure
Another fumble - two-minute-warning
We must find the measure

Competition - demolition
Men in motion - great confusion
Incompletion - bad decision
Hail to Mary - visionary

Full length album νούμερο 18 για τους U.D.O. (το προσωπικό σχήμα του 71χρονου τραγουδιστή Udo Dirkschneider). Φέρει τον τίτλο "Touchdown" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του καλοκαιριού. Νέο μέλος της μπάντας ο μπασίστας Peter Baltes, ο οποίος ήταν μέλος των Accept από τα ξεκινήματα μέχρι και προ πενταετίας, ενώ έχει συνεργασθεί με τον Udo και στους Dirkschneider & the Old Gang...

Δελτίο τύπου: «He is one of the epitomes of international heavy metal: With his unique voice, Udo Dirkschneider has been shaping legendary rock anthems since the ‘80s. Spending five decades on stages globally, Dirkschneider is a true icon of the metal scene.

Despite his long history and the many ups and downs that rock’n’roll life entails, Udo Dirkschneider continues to write his own story and never ceases to amaze. This year is no exception.

His band U.D.O.'s new album "Touchdown" will be released on August 25th, and once again the name says it all. Just as the "touchdown" in American football describes an important goal for players and teams, the same applies to the album and Udo Dirkschneider.»
