DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG – featuring former Accept members Udo Dirkschneider (vocals), Peter Baltes (bass) and Stefan Kaufmann (guitar), alongside Udo’s son Sven Dirkschneider (drums), Manuela Bibert (vocals) and Mathias Dieth (guitar) – released their new album, Babylon, in October 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Today, the band shares the official lyric video for the album track, “Metal Sons”. A message reveals, “‘Metal Sons’ is a tribute to true, original heavy metal: a powerful guitar riff that seems to have fallen out of this time period, plus Udo’s usual uncompromising vocals, plus screaming guitar solos and a chorus that will have every heavy metal fan automatically headbanging and shouting along. Thanks to its modern arrangement, the song is nevertheless (or precisely because of this) a musical treat of a special kind.” Watch below:
