Dirkschneider And The Old Gang (DATOG) was originally launched in 2020 as a one-off charity project, but quickly developed a momentum of its own and formed into a band consisting of Udo Dirkschneider (vocals, ACCEPT/U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER), Peter Baltes (bass, vocals, ACCEPT/U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER), Stefan Kaufmann (guitar, ACCEPT/U.D.O.), Mathias Dieth (guitar, SINNER/U.D.O.), Sven Dirkschneider (drums, U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER) and Manuela Bibert (vocals). Between 2020 and 2021 the first three singles attracted a lot of attention, whereupon the band wrote more songs and recorded their debut album. With a unique vocal concept of three voices, powerful riffs and stylistic complexity, DATOG combines classic heavy metal with a modern, powerful production
