Fjärde albumet från svenska Tungsten som består av Anders Johansson (ex Hammerfall, ex Yngwie, ex Manowar) och hans två söner Nick och Karl och sångaren Mike Andersson (Cloudscape, Fullforce).<br/><br/>På detta album levererar Tungsten sitt mörkaste album hittills, man balanserar precis på gränsen mellan folk och vikingarock och power metal, allt kryddat med moderna referenser som i sin tur skapar en mycket intressant ljudbild.

He is THE constant of the German metal scene: On April 6, 2022, icon Udo Dirkschneider will be 70 years old. Born in post-war Wuppertal, when heavy metal was far from being invented, he has for many years been one of the decisive characters who have helped shape this musical genre so decisively. For about five decades, it is impossible to imagine it without him. On April 22nd his most personal and extraordinary album will be released: it contains 17 cover versions of exactly those songs that have influenced the musician and singer the most. Among them are all kinds of classics of music history - even those you might not have expected from Udo. Behind all the tracks is not only a very personal story, but also a sometimes surprising arrangement, which despite their very individual implementation, however, live and breathe Udo's signature at all times. The cover album also makes one thing clear: how many in the music business have come and gone over the years. Udo Dirkschneider is still here. If his unchanging nature was briefly what almost doomed him in the midst of the norm-constructed music industry in the 80s, it has long since become his very great strength. All this makes Udo Dirkschneider one of the greatest and most imposing rock and metal icons of the last decades.
