New .U.D.O. album to be released August 2023.

[Tomcat]

Here is what we have so far:



They keep on dropping the parts of the artwork (at least I think it's the artwork of the new album) plus one letter with each part. So we have the following letters so far: T O U C

[Tomcat]

A new piece for the puzzle today. Plus another letter. So far it is T O U C H.

[Tomcat]

It probabbly is Touchdown...

[Tomcat]

The newest letter is D.

I remember we did the same with one of the albums of Vykyng

Here is the next part:

Only one is missing now.

Hopefully the guitar tones are better than "Let's email these files back and forth" from Game Over.

The big question: how do you like the artwork, Csaba?

Agreed. Hopefully the drum sounds and mastering are significantly better than "Game Over." Also, I really hope that Peter has co-written some of the songs.

Not a fan of the title or the album cover. Nonetheless, I am excited.

Haha! Is that such a big question?
I don't think that my opinion is that important
But I know why you asked me. Well, I'm that kind of pain-in-the-a$$-like fan that always criticizes the artworks.
While others say "music is the main thing" and "I don't care how the artwork looks like" I always say it does matter a lot how the artwork looks like.
If you are a musician, manager or whatever and you have to take care about the artwork, you have to find someone to make it, have to talk to him about it, you have to pay for it, it all means that you must put your time, energy and money into it. Why shouldn't it look good then? If it doesn't matter if it looks good or not then let it look good.

But to answer your question, it is way too blue to me and isn't metal enough. When I look at the cover of an album I always imagine it as a T-shirt design and think if I would wear a shirt like that. In this case I don't think I would gladly wear a T-shirt with this design.

The last .U.D.O. album artwork I liked was Steelhammer.

I just watched some interviews with Udo, and if I understand correctly, Peter played on the album, but was not involved in the writing process.
I don't think he was an official member of the band when the others were already writing the songs.

Here are the titles:

1. Isolation Man
2. The Flood
3. The Double Dealer's Club
4. Fight for the Right
5. Forever Free
6. Punchline
7. Sad Man's Show
8. The Betrayer
9. Heroes of Freedom
10. Better Start to Run
11. The Battle Understood
12. Living Hell
13. Touchdown
