With “It Takes Six To Rock!” – the core message of their enthusiastically received previous single “It Takes Two To Tango” – still echoing in everyone’s heads, Dirkschneider & The Old Gang (DATOG) strike again. Only one month after the release of the last single, the band has released another hit: “Time To Listen,” The latest track cranks up the anticipation even more for their upcoming album, “Babylon,” which is set for release in October 2025 on Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), and delivered another high-energy preview of what fans can look forward to.
The band describes the song as follows:
“‘Time To Listen’ is an up-tempo song that once again shines with DATOG’s typically diversified lead vocals. A soaring guitar riff paves the way for a powerful Udo performance, accompanied by Peter’s harmony vocals and continues with Manuela’s sustained two-part vocals. The chorus, with its convincing power casts a spell over everyone. Here also, Mathias’ guitar solo is a marvel of ingenuity that ignores all convention and whips through the musical realms in an unconventional manner. The compact and powerful ending is just as uncompromising as the beginning of the song.”
With “Time To Listen,” DATOG once again highlights their unique identity and their commitment to making bold musical statements – energetic, authentic, and with a signature sound that’s instantly recognisable.
It’s time to listen – and time to rock! Watch the official music video below:
