U.D.O. - I'll Die Trying (Official Music Video)

Taken from the album "Voodoo Ranger" (January 08, 2027) 🎧 Stream, get it here: https://udo.rpm.link/voodooYT "I'll Die Trying' is one of the most personal songs on Voodoo Ranger. It's about never giving up, believing in yourself and always moving forward, no matter what life throws at you. The last verse especially means a lot to me because it reflects what I've experienced on stage for so many years. Every concert is a special moment and as long as people want to hear me sing, I'll keep giving everything I've got. I've always believed that a great ballad can be just as powerful as the heaviest metal songs and throughout my career these songs have become some of the most memorable ones. 'I'll Die Trying' is another one of those songs that comes straight from the heart. We originally planned to launch Voodoo Ranger with a different song, but after Peter (Baltes) and Alen (Brentini) were injured during one of the recent concerts of the Balls To The Wall – 40th Anniversary tour, we had to postpone the original video production. Rather than rush things, we decided to let 'I'll Die Trying' lead the way. Looking back, it feels like the right choice. The song captures a side of U.D.O. that has always been important to me. Ballads have been part of my career from the very beginning, and our fans have always embraced them. At the same time, nobody should think this album is getting softer: Voodoo Ranger is packed with classic U.D.O. power and has plenty of surprises waiting“ Udo Dirkschneider 🎧 Stream the track here: https://udo.rpm.link/dietryingYT REIGNING PHOENIX MUSIC 🛒 EU: https://shopeu.reigningphoenixmusic.com 🛒 US: https://shopus.reigningphoenixmusic.com 🛒 UK: https://www.plastichead.com/ Web https://www.reigningphoenixmusic.com ▶ FOLLOW U.D.O.
