Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

You wait for the punch to come, to land somewhere on your body, and rather than close your eyes and accept your fate, you look it square in the face and hope that it is a steely embrace, one of creativity, of the heavyweight and big heart; not one from the sly and the craven, instead one from the cool, the sublime and the handsome sound. It is to listen to the comprehensive, the unassailable, unbound declaration of the return of Udo Dirkschneider and U.D.O. that makes the punch to the emotional pleasure centres such a wait of wonderful expectation.
