Terry speaks with Udo and Sven Dirkschneider about the 40th‑anniversary re‑recording of “Balls to the Wall,” the guest‑driven concept behind the project, and assembling contributions from vocalists including Dee Snider, Doro Pesch, Michael Kiske, Mille Petrozza, and Ripper Owens. They discuss the challenge of coordinating recordings across continents, working again with original drummer Stefan Kaufmann, and bringing new energy to each track while preserving the core character of the album. Udo and Sven reflect on performing together, the influence of younger musicians on new U.D.O. material, and plans for touring the complete album live.
Terry also speaks with Nils Molin of Dynazty about recent work, including vocal collaborations and touring, and the band’s ongoing development. The episode concludes with a selection of Kiwi metal.
