Ok, that first post was just practice. From now on I'll make sure everything here can be considered metal in some way. This week's track by U.D.O. is at least really heavy rock.
The German band Accept's founding singer, Udo Dirkschneider, left the band in 1987 and decided to put together another band, which he called U.D.O. (it's his name, see?). Their third album Faceless World was released on February 25, 1990, by RCA Records, and "Heart of Gold" was the opening track. The single's B side was "System of Life," which was track 3 on the album.
Faceless World was produced by Stefan Kaufmann, who was Accept's drummer until he injured his back on tour in 1989, which was one reason Accept was on hiatus when this U.D.O. album was released.
If you like Accept, this isn't much different in my opinion. The music video includes a fun cartoon character of the type that was often seen in videos around that time, when combining animation with video footage was all the rage. The animated guitarist, backup singer, and pianist in the video is Mathias Dieth, who played with a few other bands I'm not familiar with including Sinner and Gravestone.
