ACCEPT Ink Long-Term Deal With Nuclear Blast Records
BraveWords.com has received the following press release from Nuclear Blast Records:
All over the world, media has been busy for months, reporting about the comeback of heavy metal pioneers ACCEPT. After resting for many years, the German-based musicians started to work on a new album. Mark Tornillo - formerly lead singer of TT QUICK completed the heavy metal formation!.
Without a doubt - this is the most important metal reunion of our days.
Born in the eighties, Accept started to conquer the world: Gold status in the USA, top chart positions in Europe and Japan and touring with acts like IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MÖTLEY CRÜE, OZZY OSBOURNE and KISS led to a total success all over the world. Accept created their own legend.
In 2010, 14 years later, Accept is about to release their 15th album, Blood Of The Nations. The record will be pusblished worldwide by Nuclear Blast.
Says Gaby Hoffmann and Deville Schober / Accept Management: "We really appreciate the cooperation with Nuclear Blast. Accept finally found a powerful partner to create a big international impact. Nuclear Blast got a lot of experience and the power to push Accept into new dimensions!"
Andy Siry / Nuclear Blast Label Manager states: "We are very proud to declare the signing of Accept! Like a lot of people out there, employees of Nuclear Blast have grown up with songs like 'Restless & Wild', 'Breaker' and 'Balls To The Wall'. It‘s an honour to us! Accept found a new voice with Mark Tornillo and working togehter with sucessful producer Andy Sneap will cause an amazing record - a gift for the fans out there! This album will become a milestone in the history of Accept!"
The new record, Blood Of The Nations, will be released all over the world in the late summer of 2010. Andy Sneap, the international reowned UK producer (MEGADETH, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE, MACHINE HEAD, EXODUS, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) produced Blood Of The Nations. 14 songs - proof of a new Accept decade, brutal and melodic at the same time- in a classical style, but with a modern sound.

ACCEPT To Premier 'Teutonic Terror' Video This Wednesday
ACCEPT have announced the world premiere of their new video, 'Teutonic Terror', from their forthcoming album, Blood Of The Nations.
The video, shot in March and directed by Dave Blass of www.Grid41.com , promises to be the "most metal" Accept video ever. Asked about the "story, or theme" behind the video, the director said: "We had all of these cool ideas for stories about a post apocalyptic world, hot girls in Mad Max gear and cool visuals and the more we worked it the more we kept coming back to the basics... this is Accept, not MÖTLEY CRÜE, there are people all over the world that have waited years to see this band again, and every second that we cut away to some story that is really just filler anyway, we are missing what is really important. People want to see Wolf Hoffmann shredding his flying V, they want to see new singer Mark Tornillo singing a new Accept song, and they want to see the band ripping into the new track. So I said screw the story, get me some fire, get me some tanks and lets rock it"
The video will premiere on Wednesday, May 5th, exclusively on MySpace Music in HD, on the band's MySpace page, and at their official website.
A preview of the video can be seen below:

Exclusive: ACCEPT – Blood Of The Nations Track-By Track; Album Artwork Revealed
Now that the rosy live reports (including the debut NYC review here) are filtering in from all corners of the globe, it’s time to see/hear what the reformed/ resurrected German metallers have added to their recorded legacy. A dozen tracks, encompassing 67:30 to showcase Mark Tornillo (ex-throat for '80s NJ band TT QUICK), but the real star is guitarist Wolf Hoffman, with plenty of lead work and no less than four blistering tunes.
Blood Of The Nations will hit the streets on August 20th in Europe and September 14th in North America. Click photo left to view the newly revealed artwork. An exclusive track-by-track run down by BraveWords.com scribe Mark Gromen can be read below:
‘Beat The Bastards’ – A real kick-off to the album, especially in light of the two pre-released singles which follow: “Cut the ripcord, don’t look back. Burn the bridges down. Grab the hammer, clench your fist. Beat the bastards down!” Come the chorus, could be forgiven for not knowing about any substitutions at the vocal position. A classic Accept rocker!
‘Teutonic Terror’ – Mid-tempo, with Tornillo’s gritty voice at the fore, screeching into higher register. Multiple voice ‘whoa, whoa’ chorus.
‘The Abyss’ – opens with slower Accept trademark, then delves into less conventional territory, albeit build around Tornillo’s Udo-inspired rasp (chorus). When they threaten to venture down the Accept of old pathway, veers off, preferring not to be a carbon copy of those classic riffs (as found elsewhere). Brief mid-section of piano and smooth voice. Just six seconds short of seven minutes in length.
‘Blood Of The Nations’ – With both Peter Baltes (bass) and Wolf Hoffman (guitar) living in the USA, the lyrical standpoint deals with the role of serving as global policeman, even if it’s talking about a coalition of nations, in partnership. Can’t prove it, but have a sneaking suspicion that an “s” was added to the title, just to make it more palatable, internationally. Particularly the group chorus gives it a mid-tempo HammerFall feel.
‘Shades Of Death’ - Longest song at 7:33. Acoustic begun, alongside symphonic strings. Never gets above the ‘Neon Nights’/‘Dogs On Leads’ tempo.
‘Locked And Loaded’ – Sounds like something Halford might have written (come to think of it…). Searing Priest twin leads!
‘Kill The Pain’ – Acoustic begun, alongside symphonic strings. Unsuccessfully attempts to recreate the magic of ‘Seawinds’.
‘Rollin Thunder’- Upbeat, chugging Accept riffs, but the way Hoffman ends the song, just going off on guitar is what makes the tune.
‘Pandemic’- a mid-tempo ode to the music we all love: “It’s a metal disease.” Simple, repetitive lyrics/chorus and trademark guitars. Can almost envision the onstage, synchronized guitar sway.
‘New World Comin’ – Despite the start, definitely, the least “Accept” of the bunch. Come the chorus, you can hear the New Jersey influence, in the form of Bon Jovi “whoa, whoa”. Bluesy.
‘No Shelter’ – the comeuppance for an unspecified white collar criminal. Alternates between piston pumping, proto thrash and more subtle parts, accent heavily on the former. Think ‘Losers & Winners’. Again, Hoffman goes fretboard crazy in the final third.
‘Bucketful Of Hate’ –The sporadic music box notes which open give way to more of that trademark Accept riffage. Tornillo wails the titular phrase atop backed chorus, ends with a sitar sounding flourish and gradually fade-out downbeat melody. Probably better closing songs elsewhere on the disc.
Given my (considerable) reservations about continuing without the recognizable Dirkschneider, to say nothing of their less than impressive (plodding, one dimensional) previous stabs at resurrection: Death Row and Predator, this is a VERY pleasant surprise. Apparently there’s plenty of ideas left. Bring ‘em on!

ACCEPT Enter German Charts At #4 With Blood Of The Nations
Blood Of The Nations, the comeback album by Germany’s legendary metal band ACCEPT, just entered the German album charts at #4. This marks the highest German chart entry ever in the band’s career and beats the #5 position of 1986’s Russian Roulette.
Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann shares his thoughts on the news: “This really swept us off our feet! Of course, you dream about being on top of the charts, but this was pretty much out of the question. We tested new waters with our new singer Mark [Tornillo, ex-TT QUICK] and emerged as winners! But even more than that, this is the reward for our unique collaboration with our label Nuclear Blast, Brainstorm Music Marketing, and all the others who gave their everything for Accept. But most of all, we want to thank our fans without whom we would be nothing! THANK YOU!”
Germany's Music-TV-Station iMusic1 broadcast an exclusive 1-hour-special about Accept on August 21st and 22nd. Watch 10 minutes of the interview and the live performance of the song 'Metal Heart' below:
