U.D.O. - Dominator Release Dates For Japan, North America Announced
September 9, 2009, 15 years ago
Rock legend Udo Dirkschneider's new U.D.O. album, Dominator, will be released in Japan on September 16th, and in North America on October 6th (AFM Records).
The album was released in Europe on August 21st.
As previously reported, U.D.O. entered the German Media Control charts at #27 with Dominator.
This success underscores the upward trend the band has been experiencing recently. The previous album, Mastercutor, could - even though the current economic situation in the music market is difficult - sell way more than his other releases.
Now, with Dominator, that positive trend continues: while Mastercutor entered the charts at #39, Dominator is at position #27 - 12 spots better than before.
Press reaction has been very positive. Next, there's a TV documentary on WDR/"Lokalzeit" and a big feature in the German issue of Penthouse will be published in September.
Udo's secret for success? "Many young musicians have a lack of personality", he recently told a big Southern German newspaper.
