Papy Jeff Metal's Favorite of the Day: DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG
"Hellbreaker": Dirkschneider & The Old Gang Drop a Classic Metal Anthem (That Actually Slaps)

Dirkschneider & The Old Gang don’t just play heavy metal: they embody it. "Hellbreaker", the ripper from their Babylon album, is a masterclass in how to do it right: no frills, no gimmicks, just riffs that hit like a sledgehammer and a chorus that sticks like glue. Udo’s snarl is as ferocious as ever, a reminder that some voices only get sharper with time. And when Manuela Bibert’s vocals swoop in for the finale? That’s not just icing, that’s the whole damn cake.
But let’s talk about Mathias Dieth’s solo work, because wow. Unpredictable, technical, and dripping with attitude, it’s the kind of playing that makes guitar nerds pause mid-air-shred to mutter, "How the hell…?" The man’s fingers are basically a public menace.
Lyrically? Pure, unapologetic metal theatrics: Lucifer’s cathedral, chains being shattered, a "guardian of light" doing his night shift. It’s the kind of over-the-top imagery that would make a lesser band sound ridiculous, but here? It works. Because when the riff is this tight and the delivery this convinced, you’re not just listening to a song, you’re signing up for the crusade.
If you’ve ever missed the days when metal was about songs, not just drop-tuned chugging, "Hellbreaker" is your hymn. Stream it, blast it, and maybe light a candle for the dark fire reigning in your soul.
