Metal Heart Russia has a special meaning for Udo Dirkschneider and his band U.D.O.. They were one of the very first international artists to tour the huge country of Russia - and their fans are still very thankful until this day. So recording a LIVE DVD to highlight the “Steelhammer” tour was an opportunity the band didn’t want to miss. "Steelhammer - Live from Moscow" was recorded on September 28th, 2013 in the "Arena Hall" in Moscow

After putting out a live double CD, fans were asking for a visual output. Now, the show recorded on December 9, 2016 in Brno, Czech Republic at Hala Valdova will be released in video format to complement the audio release. A celebration of Dirkscheider's ACCEPT era, there's a cover version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as a bonus track on the CD and vinyl.

I'm A Rebel This DVD is jam-packed with U.D.O. goodies and the most interesting one is certainly the "Live in Russia" concert recorded in 2001. The overall picture is very average but acceptable (with sometimes some annoying black and white and distorted effects), and the sound is rather surprisingly good for a 2.0 audio mix. However, the footage is limited to only nine tracks - a 45 minutes set list, instead of a full concert. I would have preferred to have an entire gig and fewer extras. Nevertheless, the gig is awesome and it's so great to see U.D.O. perform their songs and the Accept ones so well and accurately.

And, who realistically, could look back on more Heavy Metal history than Udo Dirkschneider, the legendary founder and frontman of Accept, and now singer with U.D.O.? Dirkschneider's unique voice, his humbleness and consistency of style have made him the fan s favourite. A quarter of a century for U.D.O., and it is time to pop corks all over the world.

U.D.O., the German band fronted by former ACCEPT singer Udo Dirkschneider, have set an August 25 European release date for their upcoming "Live In Russia" DVD. As previously reported, the forthcoming DVD will come in a special package containing a bonus live CD.
