In addition vocalist Udo Dirkschneider (who became 60 years young this April) was honored with a \u201clifetime achievement award\u201d by his label AFM Records, paying tribute to the man\u2019s outstanding career, which, we all know, started with Dirkschneider founding and fronting Accept, the band he led to international stardom. Dirkschneider became one of the most popular and respected voices in metal ever, having a massive effect on following generations of musicians.  <!--more-->  <br \/>But the journey of the Solingen-born man and his band has not come to an end yet \u2013 his mission not accomplished at all! Quite the contrary: U.D.O.\u2019s latest studio album \u201cRev-Raptor\u201d (2011) and the tour played in support of this release, became the most successful ones in their history.<br \/>So U.D.O. and AFM Records extended their long-term deal and look forward to continue on the path of recent years\u2019 success.<\/p>\n<p>On September 28th already the new DVD \u201cLive In Sofia\u201d will be released, which was filmed on the \u201cRev-Raptor\u201d tour. This concert film will also be available in BluRay format. Both the DVD &amp; BluRay will be accompanied by 2 CDs that includes the full concert as well.<\/p>\n<p>Source: AFM Records<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this year\u2019s Wacken Open Air festival, German metal force U.D.O. was celebrating its 25th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1991\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
