Nuovi cambi di formazione per la band di Udo Dirkschneider: Igor Gianola, chitarrista di lungo corso degli U.D.O. si separa dalla band per "problemi a conciliare gli impegni della band con la sua vita privata e lavorativa". Al suo posto giá trovato il nuovo chitarrista: si tratta di Kasperi Heikkinen, Finlandese chitarrista dei Merging Flare che giá qualche tempo fa si era esibito live in tour nei Gamma Ray.
Ecco il comunicato della band:

"Since the business of U.D.O. develops and the band tours more and more all over the world, Igor simply wasn’t available for so many different long periods. The band respects his decision and wishes him all the best for the future. Igor was with the band since nearly 15 years now and became a very important and highly respected band member. Thank you very much, Igor!

Thanks to our metal god the band already found a new bandmate: Finnish guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen. Well we can write now that together with our other new guitarist Andrey Smirnov, they are one of the best guitar teams in metal but we don’t want to do that because every other band does like this. We’re sure you will find out by yourself and than you will write exactly that fact! The band is very happy to have found Kasperi and now the metal machine will go ahead better than ever. Watch out for the Steelhammer!!"

Ed ecco quello di Igor:

"It was a great time and I want to warmly thank everybody who shared it with me, band members, crew guys, and everyone who supported and worked with us to make it happen! A really big and special thank goes to our fans for their incredible support, you were great!!! Wish you all the best!"
