Rounding off a special anniversary year for the band (35 years since foundation 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 catalogue gathered within the past three and a half decades, it’s simply an impossible task to compile a double CD of material and 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 nmatched within the Heavy Metal scene.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
