CD

The sixteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
It is the first U.D.O. album to feature Udo Dirkschneider's son, Sven, as the new drummer, and the final album to feature bassist Fitty Wienhold, when he announced his departure in September 2018.
The fact is "Steelfactory" is the common for their entire career is that they have managed to keep the quality high throughout the entire careers. At the same time, then never really changed the formula either and U.D.O. has always been a logical choice for Accept fans, not just because of Dirkschneider, but because of the nature of the music. And "Steelfactory", of course, is not an exception.
"Steelfactory" is produced by Jacob Hansen and as such it’s typical sound for both Hansen and U.D.O., meaning that it has a big compressed sound that unfortunately does lack more vitality. On the other hand, it is professionally executed, and it does suit the nature of the music just fine. The thirteen-song album offers what basically any U.D.O. album offers, a rock-solid collection of upbeat and mid-tempo Heavy Metal songs. There are no surprises, but there is plenty of good ol’ Heavy Metal.
It must be a special feeling for the main man himself to have recorded an album with his son, who is just a few years older than the band. Former producer, drummer and song-writer Stefan Kaufmann might no longer be part of the band, but he does contribute with songwriting on a couple of songs.
If you’ve enjoyed the majority of the band’s discography, then you will for sure enjoy the "Steelfactory" as well. There is determination and quality to it, despite being set in its ways and often templated. But much like the last song on the album, “The Way”, points out, there is something genuine to the Udo Dirkschneider and how can you not respect that!

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
The first album with guitarist Andrey Smirnov. Second guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen joined the band after all recordings were completed. It is also the first album without Stefan Kaufmann as guitarist, as well as the first without guitarist Igor Gianola since the 1999 album "Holy".
Whenever you hear ''U.D.O. is releasing a new album'', you pretty much know what can you expect! And when you also know, that the album is called "Steelhammer", you can also expect that it's gonna kick ass!! Here it is and there's no chance of speaking about a letdown. What you need to remember is that this LP was actually a test o strength for Dirkschneider. It's a first release in many years not to feature the band's long time member and co-writer, Stefan Kaufmann, and also a great guitar player, Igor Gianola. First of those two doesn't need any presentation. The legendary ex-Accept drummer has been helping his old colleague with his career since the album "Solid" from 1997, and he co-wrote some of the band's best stuff. The question is: did Udo pass the test? Hell fuckin' yeah!! The ugliest dwarf in Heavy Metal and one of the best singers of all time is back again to smash our faces to the ground!!! And "Steelhammer" is his best work since "Mastercutor".
Referring to the album cover, being 61 years old, Udo Dirkschneider still rules the Metal world with the iron fist and seems unbreakable! So let us hope for more LP's like "Steelhammer"!!
"Steelhammer" charted at #21 in Germany, #23 in Sweden, #38 in Finland and #67 in Norway during its first week.

The ninth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Upon the final demise of German Metal legends Accept in 1998, the man who was its voice, the unmistakably shrill Udo Dirkschneider, pretty much stepped into the breach with his self-named band U.D.O. and sought to carry on with a sound and style that, like a sabre-toothed cat of some sort, remains frozen in time. Not that what worked in 1984 will necessarily work in 2004 "Thunderball"'s carefully orchestrated nostalgia pieces may prove to be just what the doctor ordered.
Truly, later day Accept rarely sounded as authentically '80s as "Thunderball's title cut and subsequent offerings "Fistful of Anger", "Hell Bites Back" and "Tough Luck II" — all of them packed with precisely jagged guitar riffs, thundering gang-choruses, and of course Dirkschneider's vocal power-drill slicing everything to tatters. The co-songwriting presence on all of these tracks of original Accept drummer, now guitarist Stefan Kaufmann (the man responsible for many of their greatest hits of yore) is of course crucial to their remarkable time-erasing accomplishments, and it's fair to assume that the absolutely incredible "Pull the Trigger" is guaranteed to have everyone's Balls to the Wall.
All in all, and easy comparisons notwithstanding, "Thunderball" is a great U.D.O. album at all!

The fourth re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
The perfect mix of Speed Metal and old school Heavy Metal. There is power and speed but there is also enough of the classic sound of traditional Metal to keep this one close to the hearts of fans of Judas Priest and Black Sabbath.
It was recorded and mixed at Dierks Studios, Cologne from November 1990 to February 1991. Album was released in April 03, 1991.
The band's most brutal album, following a light approach on “Faceless World”, it's U.D.O.'s last release before Udo Dirkschneider took part in the Accept reunion which resulted in three albums.
The perfect mix of Speed Metal and old-school Heavy Metal. There is power and speed, but there is also enough of the classic sound of traditional Metal to keep this one close to the hearts of Judas Priest and Black Sabbath fans.
The band were aided by Deaffy on lyrics. Deaffy has also appeared as author of the English lyrics on the Accept albums, and has been revealed to be a pseudonym for Gaby Hoffmann (maiden name Hauke), manager for Accept and later married to guitarist Wolf Hoffmann.
"Timebomb" is the real deal, and recommend being playing loud and often!

The third full-length album by Brazilian Thrash/Groove Metal band.
Attention! Uganga’s frontman is Sarcofago’s Manu Joker!!
...From the beginning - this album is weird. We’ve got a lot of different elements, but basically Uganga tries to be more or less near Thrash Metal. Except for a typical Metal patents we’ve got a bit DJ scratches and…. a Reggae part in the middle of the song. All these non-Metal influences are small parts of the songs, little samples etc. - core of the band is heavy music. This is a really good album, and even with all that strange elements it goes together really well...
Joker goes really well behind the microphone but band’s strongest point are riffs. Most of them shows medium-speed Thrash Metal, sometimes we can hear something more Groovy, sometimes it’s time for Punk-influenced riff. And of course - their music is really surprising, Uganga is not afraid to experiment in different directions. Sometimes they put things, that in theory shouldn’t fit a Metal music even a bit, but final effect is nice! Although, that’s a “love it or hate it” album. So better listen to it by yourself!!

Debut full-length album by Italian Thrash Metal band.
If there is one Metal scene that not enough people are talking about, it would have to be the Italian Thrash scene. Italians really know how to play some mean Thrash Metal! The newest band to pop up is Ultra-Violence; yet another young Thrash act named after a classic album.
57 minutes of mandatory classic-style Thrash Metal from one of the best bands doing it! “Privilege to Overcome” is definitely recommended for all fans of newer Thrash Metal!!

The fifteenth full-length studio album by Czech Atmospheric Black Metal band.
Black Metal elements are prevalent throughout the album - but there's a lot of offbeat moments just as well, including cleanly sung vocals (both whispered and hymned), abrupt changes in mood, declamations, a saxophone solo (courtesy of Radek Havel), Industrial sounds, even some Krautrock-like rhythms. The big surprise is the participation of Frantisek Storm, the legendary vocalist of MASTER'S HAMMER, whose voice is heard in four of the tracks.

Debut full-length album by Polish Technical Groove Metal band.
From the deepest and darkest states of human hypocrisy, from the pitch-black abyss of cruelty, from the dungeons of self-destruction here come the sounds of fright, fear and consternation…
A mix of heavy riffs, long phrases, aggressive vocals and psychedelic melodies is a testimony to the hard-working and difficult period they conquered and the direction in which the band wants to continue. 
The album contains 8 tracks that gets the listener into a hypnotic trance which does not give you a break, just like the entire band at their concerts. 
The material was recorded over a span of two weeks at Hertz Recording Studio under the watchful eye of Wojtek and Slawek Wieslawski.

Second re-release of the fourth full-length album by the cult Brazilian Black/Death Metal band.
A heavy mix of Death and Black Metal, Unearthly’s signature sound is just that. Combining fast paced drums, and vocals that sound something akin to the Devil chanting with a drill down his throat, this band is really brutal. The entire album is distinctively Death Metal, and exhibits the band’s all consuming Dark-ness. Each track flows into the next, giving added smoothness and consistency. Tracks such as “7.62”, “Exterminata” add a slight acoustic flavour to the mix, creating a signature sound for the band, and in terms of “Exterminata” give a mellow come down to an other-wise heavy album. 
This will hopefully be the album that pushes these guys forward, as it looks as though Unearthly have remained relatively unknown outside of Brazil despite having been around since the late 90s. This may not be the case for long though given the absolute power that quite literally screams throughout “Flagellum Dei”’s entirely. Pur-chase it now!
Absolutely awesome raging and vicious Blackened Death Metal for fans of late 90’s/early 00’s Behemoth, Hate and Sarcofago! Huge production, relentless drums, intricate riffs and songs structures, twin vocals attacks. Killer album!!

The second full-length album from the Ukrainian Industrial Death/Groove Metal band.
New album of the band is the logical evolution of their unique style that Ungrace conceived on its debut, "Hostile Revival" (2010). Nevertheless "Feed The Demons" is more heavy, more dark and more brutal than its predecessor and is a new, fresh look at the good old Death Metal, cross-bred with Groove and flavored with dismal Industrial atmosphere. The lyrics describe various displays of the dark, bestial sides of human nature, emphasizing the brutality of the music.
Ungrace's unique heavy sound, which is made by TA Production, along with great 12-page booklet by Mayhem Project makes "Feed The Demons" a must-have for each metalhead!
For fans of such bands as: Cryptopsy, Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Decapitated, Chimaira, etc.

The debut EP and the first full-length studio album by legendary Swedish Death Metal band.
Back in the late 80s, a Swedish Underground Death Metal band named Nihilist turned into the breeding ground from which two big players of the genre emerged: Entombed and Unleashed. Together with Grave and Dismember, these bands are crucial for turning the Punkish Scandinavian Death Metal sound into a global phenomenon, defining and refining its stylistics, and making it a successful genre to the very day.
Parallel to records by Asphyx, Tiamat, Grave and Morgoth, Unleashed’s debut album was one of many all-time-classics of Death Metal released in 1991. On "Where No Life Dwells", the Swedish outfit reveals a commitment to two kinds of Death Metal: fast and faster. The album is considered as a classic among Death Metal fans.
2001 re-issue contains 7 bonus tracks and 2 bonus videos. This is a perfect opportunity to bring back this timeless and gloomy masterpiece. Pure and enthusiastic, this disc plays like an audio textbook for those interested in the state and design of early-90s Death Metal excess. A total of 7 songs were recorded in 1990. Two of them made it onto "And the Laughter Has Died...." 7" Single (1991), three made onto "In The Eyes Of Death" compilation (1991), and two remained unmixed, available on this reissue. Now packaged with additional tracks, "Where No Life Dwells" remains a landmark album by the long-running Swedes.
