Remastered re-release of the sixth full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With "Metal Heart", Accept attempted to add catchier choruses and melodies to their high-octane guitar riffing in a clear ploy to crack the American market. Not that this move in any way upset the balance of their thus-far smooth-running Metal machine, which had been gaining momentum with every release since the start of the decade. "Metal Heart" was certainly a step toward accessibility, but a cautious one at that. You gotta hand it to Accept, they sure knew how to make an entrance by now, and the apocalyptic title track is about as dramatic as it gets, with guitarist Wolf Hoffman taking the helm on a long, mid-song solo excursion containing equal nods to Beethoven and Edward Van Halen. First single "Midnight Mover" is next, and along with the even more melodic "Screaming for a Love-Bite", it places obvious emphasis on hooks and melodies (and proved to be the toughest to stomach for the band's more hardcore fans). But despite another strange detour into Jazz territory with the bizarre "Teach Us to Survive," Accept still packed amazing power, heaping on their Teutonic background vocals for the ultraheavy "Dogs on Leads" and gleefully pile-driving their way through relentless moshers like "Up to the Limit" and "Wrong Is Right". The brilliantly over-the-top "Too High to Get It Right" finds Dirkschneider screeching like never before, and to cap things off, the band really cooks on "Living for Tonight" - arguably the best track all around. A winning set!
Album was the first album produced by Dieter Dierks himself. The title track contains two classical themes: Tchaikovsky's "Slavonic March" in the intro, and Beethoven's "Fur Elise" in the guitar solo.
“Metal Heart” considered by fans as one of the band's best records.
Re-edition contains two bonus-tracks, both taken from "Kaizoku-Ban - Live in Japan"!

Second European re-release of the fourth full-length studio album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
Accept had a run of really good albums in the ‘80s, beginning with this one, and including 1984’s "Balls To The Wall" and 1985’s "Metal Heart". "Restless And Wild" was released in 1982 in Europe and in 1983 in the US and UK. It was the first Accept album to not be recorded at Delta-Studio, the band moving to Dieter Dierks' studio in Stommeln. It is also the first Accept album in which Udo Dirkschneider sings every track, as well as the first in which manager Gaby "Deaffy" Hauke gains credits for songwriting. Michael Wagener took engineering and mixing duties once again.
Versions of the album released outside Germany were issued with a different cover, replacing the picture of burning guitars with a shot of the band live in concert.
The bottom line here is that this, like its successor "Balls To The Wall", is an essential Heavy Metal album, and any fan worth his salt should own them both. But for the sake of first-time visitors, "Restless And Wild" is the slightly grittier, less melodic of the two. Whichever you chose, you can only win!

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
This was the last Accept album to feature Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist until the 1993 reunion album “Objection Overruled”.
The album returns Accept to the darker, heavier sound prior to the more commercial-sounding predecessor “Metal Heart”.
By the time, they reconvened to record "Russian Roulette", creative differences were beginning to tear German Metal stars Accept apart at the seams. While guitarist Wolf Hoffman wanted to continue pursuing the commercial Metal formula first explored with the previous year's "Metal Heart", vocalist Udo Dirkschneider defended a return to the harder-edged approach that had characterized the band's uncompromising breakout releases "Restless And Wild" and "Balls To The Wall".
The digitally remastered re-edition includes live versions of "Metal Heart" and "Screaming For A Love-Bite" as bonus tracks, taken from the “Kaizoku-Ban” album!

The 13th full-length album by the German Heavy Metal legend.
Band’s second album since their 2009 reunion. Accept recently celebrated the biggest success in the band’s history with “Blood Of The Nation” in 2010 and 2011. During two world trips in these eventful times, Wolf Hoffmann & Co. still found time and inspiration to write songs for the new album. The pressure was tremendous, but as we all know – Accept love challenges and search for them! No distance too far, no burden too heavy for a perfect record, for the perfect show. And here comes “Stalingrad” – a statement for the iron will to succeed. Album shows the band returning to their classic 80's sound, with some clear modern touches. Songs forged in the sweat and haze of the concert halls and hardened in the fire of hundreds of thousands fans’ excitement. “Stalingrad” is a terrific performance from beginning to end with virtually no filler. Everything from the album's sound to the fantastic artwork cover is simply drenched in talent.  The entire album from start to finish is filled to the brim with terrific guitar playing, amazing vocals, and just pure talent!
"Stalingrad" is a constantly trilling return for the classic Heavy Metal band! The Mark Tornillo era of Accept is already an important chapter in the band’s legacy, and hopefully it’s going to be a long, long chapter indeed!! Now is a great time to be an Accept fan!!!

The debut full-length studio album by legendary German Hard’n’Heavy band.
The band’s eponymous debut album was a brand of Deep Purple-like Hard Rock that was virtually indistinguishable from anything that was coming in Britain at the start of the famous NWOBHM movement. The vocals were still sung in lower register, the riffs consist almost all minor-key power-chording or melancholic ballads, with only rare tribal up-tempo show-stoppers.
"Accept" was released at 1979 in Germany and 1984 in US. On Accept's first album, these Teutonic Headbangers still standing under the Scorpions' shadow have yet to find their voice. There are small glimmers of future promise here, namely in Wolf Hoffmann's very capable guitar work. The main problem here is that the band are still in the process of building their own musical identity. The songs vary from the charging Metal rhythms of "Lady Lou" to the smoky, balladry of "Seawinds" (sung by bassist Peter Baltes). Much of the material is of reminiscent of Uli Jon Roth era Scorpions Hard'n'Heavy, but their ideas aren't yet so potent.
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann later remembered the debut as simply a collection of songs the band had worked up over their formative years, with no real focus: "We were just playing songs that we had always played. It was material that had gathered up over the first few months and years of our existence and it was a mixture of all kinds of stuff." 
Accept are probably the most influential and most important German Heavy Metal band. They would gain better production values and a more cohesive direction on future releases, but the debut was an important early step that gained them the ability to play the neighboring countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and France for the first time.

The fourteenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
In the history of Heavy Metal, not many bands can claim to be able to celebrate their breakthrough twice. Accept managed this four years ago, as, with their reunion record "Blood Of The Nations", returning with a vengeance by charting all over the World and topping critics’s and fan polls in the process. In their home country, Germany, Accept charted at an incredible #4 in the Media Control Charts, making this highest position in the band’s career to date.
Built around the nucleus of band colleagues Wolf Hoffmann (guitars) and Peter Baltes (bass), with new vocalist Mark Tornillo as well as Hermann Frank (guitars) and Stefan Schwarzmann (drums), Accept completed a global march of victory, peaking in a sold out tour and outstanding festival shows.
The successor "Stalingrad" maintained the high level with (yet again) over 100.000 records sold, followed by numerous nominations as “record of the year”, a completely sold out world tour and overwhelming chart entries (#5 in Hungary, #6 in Germany, #8 in Finland, #16 in the UK Rock Charts, #17 in Switzerland and #22 in Norway, to name but a few).
Now "Blind Rage", the latest installment in this amazing return, is ready to write history once more. The band’s creative streak has delivered a thunderstorm of riffs, only one Wolf Hoffmann is able to set aflame. Besides the “red Accept-line”, as the band likes to call it, the only goal was to “remain interesting”. Another factor that has turned into an Accept trademark is the voice of singer Mark Tornillo. The New Jersey born musician has been the man behind the microphone since the Accept reunion took off in 2009. Within the course of the three albums, he has grown into his role as frontmen of these “Teutonic terrors”. Wolf Hoffmann, who likes to call himself a “naturally born perfectionist”, praises his band colleague and states that “his accomplishment is outstanding”.
While Accept like to get newly inspired as far as the creative aspect is concerned, they put the fine-tuning of "Blind Rage" into the most capable hands of producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Exodus, Five Finger Death Punch). After the two previous records, "Stalingrad" and "Blood Of The Nations", the decision to work with Sneap again was far more than a “never change a winning team”-situation. The sound couldn’t be better: homogenous and authentic, dynamic yet versatile! And you can hear the musical wrath that gets Accept going and also led to the album title!!

The twelfth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
It is the band's first studio recording since 1996's "Predator" and the first album to feature vocalist Mark Tornillo and drummer Stefan Schwarzmann. It is the first album without Udo Dirkschneider on vocals since "Eat the Heat" in 1989. This is also the first album to feature guitarist Herman Frank since "Balls To The Wall" in 1983.
The last time there was a new studio album from Accept was in 1996, and Heavy Metal was quite possibly at an all-time low - completely ignored by MTV ("Headbanger's Ball" was off the air), and forget about radio. But the album in question, "Predator", did include longtime members Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffman, and bassist Peter Baltes... Fast-forward ten years, and vintage Metal was in a much healthier and happier state, with bands from the '80s experiencing an undeniable resurgence in popularity. So what better time for Accept to dust off their Flying V's and Rock once more? ...Only one catch - Udo declined the reunion this time around. Undeterred, Hoffman and Baltes decided to soldier on, re-enlisting former Accept guitarist Herman Frank (who left the band in 1984), drummer Stefan Schwarzmann and former T.T. Quick singer Mark Tornillo.
The "new look Accept" issued their first studio album in 14 years in 2010 and musically, the band has created an album that certainly measures up well to their early- and mid-'80s glory days! Vocally, hearing anyone besides Udo in Accept will take some time to get used to - especially for long-time fans - but hang in there, and you'll discover that Tornillo is certainly a worthy replacement. "Tough and Heavy" is a straight-to-the-point description of such tunes as the ass-kicking album-opener "Beat the Bastards", as well as "Teutonic Terror" and the heavy duty title track.
"Blood Of The Nations" debuted at number four on the German albums chart, making it Accept's first highest chart position since "Russian Roulette" (1986), and their second highest chart position (their 2014 album "Blind Rage" would debut at number one). In 2010, The Dinosaur Rock Guitar forum honored "Blood Of The Nations" with a Dino award for 'Album of the Year'. The album was voted the "#1 Comeback Album" in a 2013 VH1 poll. Also, in 2013 Metal Shock Finland declared it "The Best Shocking Comeback Album".
Producer Andy Sneap (known for working with the heaviest of Heavy Metal bands) successfully brings Accept sonically back to the Metallic roar of their glory days throughout "Blood Of The Nations", resulting in an impressive return of Germany's second best-known Heavy Metal export of all time!!

But the album in question, "Predator", did include longtime members Udo Dirkschneider, guitarist Wolf Hoffman, and bassist Peter Baltes... Fast-forward ten years, and vintage Metal was in a much healthier and happier state, with bands from the '80s experiencing an undeniable resurgence in popularity. So what better time for Accept to dust off their Flying V's and Rock once more? ...Only one catch - Udo declined the reunion this time around. Undeterred, Hoffman and Baltes decided to soldier on, re-enlisting former Accept guitarist Herman Frank (who left the band in 1984), drummer Stefan Schwarzmann and former T.T. Quick singer Mark Tornillo.
The "new look Accept" issued their first studio album in 14 years in 2010 and musically, the band has created an album that certainly measures up well to their early- and mid-'80s glory days! Vocally, hearing anyone besides Udo in Accept will take some time to get used to - especially for long-time fans - but hang in there, and you'll discover that Tornillo is certainly a worthy replacement. "Tough and Heavy" is a straight-to-the-point description of such tunes as the ass-kicking album-opener "Beat the Bastards", as well as "Teutonic Terror" and the heavy duty title track.
"Blood Of The Nations" debuted at number four on the German albums chart, making it Accept's first highest chart position since "Russian Roulette" (1986), and their second highest chart position (their 2014 album "Blind Rage" would debut at number one). In 2010, The Dinosaur Rock Guitar forum honored "Blood Of The Nations" with a Dino award for 'Album of the Year'. The album was voted the "#1 Comeback Album" in a 2013 VH1 poll. Also, in 2013 Metal Shock Finland declared it "The Best Shocking Comeback Album".
Producer Andy Sneap (known for working with the heaviest of Heavy Metal bands) successfully brings Accept sonically back to the Metallic roar of their glory days throughout "Blood Of The Nations", resulting in an impressive return of Germany's second best-known Heavy Metal export of all time!!

First re-release of the tenth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
"Death Row" is a dark, primal album that finds Accept mostly abandoning their classic sound for this experiment in sheer aggression. If you thought Udo sounded angry on the last album, he's absolutely furious on some of these songs. This album was produced by drummer Stefan Kaufmann, who actually had to leave towards the end of the sessions due to health problems, and Stefan Schwarzmann then handled drum duties. Stefan Kaufmann was still the official drummer for Accept, but drums on "Bad Habits Die Hard" and "Prejudice" are by Stefan Schwarzmann according to the liner notes. 
While the band may have felt they were breaking new ground here for themselves, it was the same ground, so many other Metal bands had already covered. It seemed that too many great 80s Heavy Metal bands found themselves in the position of copying their contemporaries instead of building upon the unique elements they already possessed. In Accept's case, Wolf Hoffman had greatly toned down his Neoclassical influences in the new riffs he's crafted here. As a result, the songs wound up sounding fairly generic and try to succeed simply by being "heavier than thou". Is the well-intended, but somewhat flat follow-up to the marginally successful Accept comeback release, "Objection Overruled". Accept wisely attempted to make a more consistently heavy recording and practically eliminated the mellower dynamics that limited their previous offering. While opting for a more singularly heavy approach was a good decision, the choice of drummer Stefan Kaufmann to produce the record left things sounding a little weak when compared to "Objection Overruled" (produced by the legendary Dieter Dierks). Perhaps the band wasn't afforded the budget necessary to finish anything more than just a competent recording, but that's what the band, and especially their fans, deserve.
This steely aggression persists through most of the songs and renders the dynamics fairly flat. The last three songs almost sound like they're bonus tracks because they're most in the spirit of the old Accept. These include the ballad "Writing On The Wall" and Wolf's guitar instrumental "Pomp And Circumstance". Although these songs aren't anything spectacular, they provide a little fresh air after a long journey through this dark & narrow tunnel.
Despite a much heavier sound, "Death Row" is a typical Accept album, featuring a variety of Heavy Metal songs. The album reached the top 30 charts in countries like Germany and Sweden and managed to reach the top 50 in Japan.
"Death Row" was pressed on vinyl upon its original release, but only in very limited quantities, making this album one of the most sought after Accept albums on vinyl!

European Edition remastered re-release of the eighth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
It was recorded at Dierks-Studios, in Cologne, from September 1988 to January 1989. Until 2010's "Blood of the Nations", this was Accept's only album without Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist. U.D.O. contributes with crowd vocals on "Turn the Wheel". 
It's hard to consider a disc featuring the vocals of anybody other than Udo Dirkschneider an actual Accept record. Released after the legendary frontman's departure from Germany's second greatest '80s Metal outfit, "Eat The Heat" proves Dirkschneider's personification of the band. After picking up Minneapolis Metal-club veteran David Reece, Wolf Hoffman and the rest of Accept decided to modify their sound and songwriting enough to fit the replacement singer's more commercial Metal style. Filling in for a legend, especially one as unique as Reece's predecessor, is a risky business, and the American wailer doesn't do much to help his cause as he never injects a personality of his own into this 1989 release. While the substitute's vocal abilities are considerable, it's hard to differentiate his delivery from that of many singers of his era fronting secondary Metal outfits. Making matters worse, the songwriting and production on "Eat The Heat" often sound stale when compared to the consistently raw yet musically tight delivery of the band's best work. To understand and admire Accept's quirky appeal is to appreciate the insane rantings of Dirkshneider and the chemistry of his chaos offset against the band's particular musical order.
Although Jim Stacey is presented as rhythm guitar player in the album line-up, the album credits also state that all guitar work on the album was played by Wolf Hoffmann. Jim Stacey did perform second guitar live with the band.
U.D.O. has also covered the song "X-T-C" on the 2001 compilation "A Tribute To Accept II". Accept later recorded "Generation Clash II" based on "Generation Clash" with Udo Dirkschneider on vocals for their 1994 album "Death Row".

The sixth compilation album by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With all tracks digitally remixed especially for this release, this compilation album has been reissued many times in many countries. Short and to the point, "Hungry Years" includes some of the best selections from Accept's early catalog, including "I'm a Rebel", "Breaker", and the metal classic "Restless and Wild". Rightfully, nothing is selected from the band's woeful eponymous 1979 debut. All three songs culled from "Restless And Wild - including the title track, "Princess of the Dawn", and "Fast as a Shark" - are career highlights for Accept, not just the early era covered on "Hungry Years". The tracks taken from the other two albums are among the best each have to offer, but any fans interested in the undeveloped sound of "The King" and "Midnight Highway" would probably want to seek out the releases these songs first appeared on. There is no substitute for "Restless And Wild", but all the collectors just need to have "Hungry Years" at their collections!!

Re-release of the first DVD by the legendary German Heavy Metal band.
This killer DVD comprised of a show from Japan in 1985, 7 promo videos and three live tracks from Bulgarian TV in '93!!
"Metal Blast From The Past" is a bunch of Accept goodies that cover the band's career. The main feature is the live gig/documentary in Osaka in 1985, and released in video format under the name "Staying A Life" in 1990. This is a very good live concert in Dolby Digital 2.0 audio format, with many great Accept songs (especially from the "Metal Heart" album), intersected abruptly by some narrative, three video clips, and footage of the band fooling around. Another important part of this DVD is the seven Accept video clips. There is also some footage in Sophia in 1993 where the band performed "Slaves To Metal", "Objection Overruled" and "Bulletproof". This is a 16 minutes live concert broadcasted by Bulgarian TV. Note that they erroneously wrote "Starlight" on the back cover instead of "Bulletproof". "Behind the scenes" is a 3 minutes section where we can watch the life on the road, video-shots of soundchecks and small interviews. This is interesting but a bit too short. "Photo gallery" is 26 very good shots taken from photo sessions throughout the band's career. There is also an excellent 22 pages biography of the band from the very beginning to the end. The discography is very complete and extremely well done with full screen cover and lyrics of all songs where you can listen to 2 songs of very long samples of every album ever released! Highly impressive! The "Audio selection" contains 30 tracks you can listen to, also included in the discography section.
There is a lot of stuff on this release and since it's the only Accept DVD available to this day, this is your only chance to see the band digitally on the screen. This DVD is mandatory for an Accept freaks and to the Headbangers who wants the complete score officially released on video by this great German Metal band! This is an incredible visual and audio document of the German institution that may be gone but is certainly not forgotten!!

The sixth full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With "Metal Heart", Accept attempted to add catchier choruses and melodies to their high-octane guitar riffing in a clear ploy to crack the American market. Not that this move in any way upset the balance of their thus-far smooth-running Metal machine, which had been gaining momentum with every release since the start of the decade. "Metal Heart" was certainly a step toward accessibility, but a cautious one at that. You gotta hand it to Accept, they sure knew how to make an entrance by now, and the apocalyptic title track is about as dramatic as it gets, with guitarist Wolf Hoffman taking the helm on a long, mid-song solo excursion containing equal nods to Beethoven and Edward Van Halen. First single "Midnight Mover" is next, and along with the even more melodic "Screaming for a Love-Bite", it places obvious emphasis on hooks and melodies (and proved to be the toughest to stomach for the band's more hardcore fans). But despite another strange detour into Jazz territory with the bizarre "Teach Us to Survive," Accept still packed amazing power, heaping on their Teutonic background vocals for the ultraheavy "Dogs on Leads" and gleefully pile-driving their way through relentless moshers like "Up to the Limit" and "Wrong Is Right". The brilliantly over-the-top "Too High to Get It Right" finds Dirkschneider screeching like never before, and to cap things off, the band really cooks on "Living for Tonight" - arguably the best track all around. A winning set!
Album was the first album produced by Dieter Dierks himself. The title track contains two classical themes: Tchaikovsky's "Slavonic March" in the intro, and Beethoven's "Fur Elise" in the guitar solo.
“Metal Heart” considered by fans as one of the band's best records.

The seventh full-length album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
This was the last Accept album to feature Udo Dirkschneider as lead vocalist until the 1993 reunion album “Objection Overruled”.
The album returns Accept to the darker, heavier sound prior to the more commercial-sounding predecessor “Metal Heart”.
By the time, they reconvened to record "Russian Roulette", creative differences were beginning to tear German Metal stars Accept apart at the seams. While guitarist Wolf Hoffman wanted to continue pursuing the commercial Metal formula first explored with the previous year's "Metal Heart", vocalist Udo Dirkschneider defended a return to the harder-edged approach that had characterized the band's uncompromising breakout releases "Restless And Wild" and "Balls To The Wall".
