U.D.O. are set to release their new studio album, Touchdown, on August 25th via Atomic Fire Records. The album features thirteen tracks, with production by Martin “Mattes” Pfeiffer and mastering by Stefan Kaufmann. U.D.O. has shared a lyric video for their latest single, “Forever Free,” accompanied by a lyric video.  

Drummer Sven Dirkschneider comments:

“‘ Forever Free’ is supposed to make people not simply believe facts they hear or get shown, for example, by media, but to think individually. Of course, we don’t mean that one should question everything. The song shall just express that it’s better to create your own opinions about conflicts and other topics one stands for, even when they’re wrong sometimes, than to follow the mass blindly. It’s a musical tribute to our privilege of living in a free world as we luckily can.”
