DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG – STRIKE BACK WITH „BATTER THE POWER“ VIDEO

Another new video has arrived from the already released album „Babylon“ by DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG (released in October 2025, RPM).

Following the strong impact of previous clips, with „It Takes Two To Tango“ and „Hellbreaker“ each surpassing one million views, the band now present the video for „Batter The Power“, continuing the visual journey through their latest release.

„Batter The Power“ is a classic heavy shuffle driven by a true metal riff and an anthem-like sing-along chorus that instantly evokes the spirit of „old times.“ What initially appears to be a deliberately straightforward and repetitive verse structure is given a sharper edge by the accusatory vocal interplay between Udo Dirkschneider and Peter Baltes, adding tension and attitude to the song’s message.

Manuela „Ella“ Bibert puts the icing on the cake with her distinctive solo vocal interludes during the final choruses, while Mathias Dieth’s extraordinary guitar solo breaks free from any convention, unapologetically bold and perfectly in line with the band’s uncompromising approach. Why should we care about rules?

Lyrically, „Batter The Power“ draws on classic heavy metal imagery of battle, resistance and liberation. Lines like „we’ll die to be free“ and „never surrender“ underline the song’s central message: relentlessly challenging oppressive power in the name of freedom and justice.

With the „Batter The Power“ video, DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG once again highlight the timeless strength of classic heavy metal, reinforcing „Babylon„ as an album that proudly bridges the past and present with experience, conviction and raw power.

About DATOG:

DIRKSCHNEIDER & 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 „Don“ Dieth (guitar; SINNER/U.D.O.), Sven Dirkschneider (drums; U.D.O./DIRKSCHNEIDER) and Manuela „Ella“ Bibert (vocals). Between 2020 and 2021 their 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 combine classic heavy metal with a modern, powerful production.
