After a hard day there’s nothing more delightful than relaxing over a steaming hot heavy metal album, right? And I simply forget every bad thing that have happened in my life lately while listening to the brand new U.D.O. album called ‘Dominator’.

 

Mr. Udo Dirkschneider and band are about to release one of their best albums ever in my humble opinion. Everything fits like a glove on ‘Dominator’. This CD is packed with heavy, yet very catchy riffs that most bands would die for. And they have even written some of their best choruses ever. You will find yourself singing along to heavy metal hymns like; “The Bogeyman”, “Black and White”, and the outstanding “Heavy Metal Heaven”  in no time.

 

The track“Heavy Metal Heaven”  will lead your mind back to when Udo’s earlier band ACCEPT was at their best. BUT... I must admit that the best track of the bunch is “Devil’s Rendezvous” in my humble opinion. This track is very, very similar to “Cut Me Out”  from his ‘Holy’ album. The chorus, the guitar solo... very similar indeed... and very catchy and entertaining.

 

Well... we also get a few up-tempo metal songs too... and they will kick your ass... believe me. Just take a listen to “Speed Demon” and you f*****g know what I mean.

 

‘Dominator’ ends with a beautiful and catchy metal-ballad called “Whispers in the Dark”.

 

The production is also top notch and I’m sure that fans of U.D.O. won’t be disappointed. So... buy or seriously regret not doing so.
