Dirkschneider & The Old Gang, the project featuring former Accept members Udo Dirkschneider, Peter Baltes, and Stefan Kaufmann alongside Sven Dirkschneider, Manuela Bibert, and Mathias Dieth, have premiered a new video for their new song “Dead Man’s Hand.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Babylon,” which will be released on October 3. The group commented:
“‘Dead Man’s Hand’ has an unusual genesis: originally composed by Manuela on the piano, the demo version consisted only of vocals and piano. The song was then transferred note for note to guitar and Hammond organ. The result is unique: a pounding guitar riff with a harsh organ accompaniment underpins Udo’s vocals, which — by his own admission — are exceptional for him. Further vocal surprises from Peter and Manuela as well as the positive ‘good time chorus’ round off the picture of an extraordinary song.”
