U.D.O.: Dear fans, We want to inform you that Tilen Hudrap decided to leave the band on his own accord.
Tilen states:
After 3 albums (2 studio albums and 1 live album/DVD) and worldwide live performances with both U.D.O. and DIRKSCHNEIDER I decided that it’s time for me to pursue other interests in the metal world. Thanks to all the fans all over the world and good luck to the band on all future endeavors.
We wish you all the best for the future Tilen! We see you somewhere on the road! 🤘🏻
U.D.O.: ‼️ IMPORTANT INFO FOR OUR FANS IN PARIS ‼️
Dear Fans,
It is with the deepest regret that we have to announce that our show in Paris on Nov 29th is cancelled. The local promoter, Black Speech Productions, has left us high and dry. He seems to have completely vanished – he is not answering any of our emails or phone calls and has not upheld any of the terms of the contract we have with him. Our Partner French Agency has informed us that it seems that he is bankrupt and has recently abandoned several other shows (for example Lordi).
For us, it is a really hard blow to suddenly find that we cannot play this show, as we’ve been desperately looking forward to seeing you all again after so many years. We hope that everybody gets a refund of his ticket, and we hope to see you very soon at another U.D.O. show.
Please accept our deepest apologies for the cancellation but it is completely out of our hands! And please note that we are absolutely, definitely going to play the show in Strasbourg Nov 30th, which is also the very last show of our European Tour 2022.
U.D.O. announce career-spanning “best of” compilation ‚The Legacy! Rare track “Dust And Rust” available for streaming!
Rounding off a special anniversary year for the band (35 years since the founding of the group as well as launching the debut album, Animal House) and its fearless leader & voice Udo Dirkschneider (who turned 70 this April). November 18th, 2022, will see German heavy metal legends U.D.O. release an extensive career-spanning “best of” compilation, titled The Legacy.
With such a rich, high-class catalog gathered within the past three and a half decades, it’s simply an impossible task to compile a double CD of material to satisfy everyone, but The Legacy is by far the most extensive retrospective the band has ever released, featuring 33 tracks overall and including songs from all U.D.O. studio albums. Among these 33 tracks are 4 rare songs, which a lot of U.D.O.‘s loyal followers will hear for the first time here.
The Legacy proves that U.D.O. produced classics throughout their entire career. Their longevity and quality of output is almost unmatched within the heavy metal scene.
The rare track “Dust And Rust” (originally from 2013‘s U.D.O. album Steelhammer and now included on The Legacy) is available for streaming:
