2027 marks a unique triple anniversary for Udo Dirkschneider and U.D.O.: Udo turns 75, U.D.O. celebrates 40 years as a band, and "Voodoo Ranger" marks the release of the German heavy metal institution's 20th studio album. This very special record release will be celebrated on January 8, 2027 via powerhouse label Reigning Phoenix Music.

Written by Udo Dirkschneider, drummer Sven Dirkschneider, bassist Peter Baltes and guitarist Fabian "Dee" Dammers, with additional contributions from new guitarist Alen Brentini, "Voodoo Ranger" brings four decades of heavy metal experience into an album that sounds unmistakably U.D.O. The album was produced and mixed by Martin "Mattes" Pfeiffer, mastered by Stefan Kaufmann, while its artwork was painted by acclaimed artist Eliran Kantor.
