Blue vinyl with gatefold cover

Depending how you count Udo Dirkschneider has not one, not two, but three solo projects: U.D.O, Dirkscneider and Dirkschneider and The Old Gang. Each are slightly different. U.D.O. is his long-running solo band. Dirkschneider is his project where hew redoes old Accept songs. Dirkschneider and The Old Gang is his project where he does songs with his old friends, mostly from Accept. Does that make sense? Balls To The Wall Reload is a Dirkscneider solo effort, his third technically. Here he has re-recorded the classic Accept album Balls To The Wall and he does a duet on each song with a different singer. The guest vocalists are an all-star line-up of European Metal royalty. The guests are among others Nils Molin (Dynazty), Ylva Eriksson (Brothers Of Metal), Doro Pesch, who nails Cold Winter Dreams, Mille Petrozza (Kreator), Joakim Broden of Sabaton and so on. Overall a fun, familiar and an easy listen.
