"Last summer, Accept played an exclusive show in front of 80,000 fans at the eternal Wacken Open Air festival, joined by a symphonic orchestra. A full dose of fun and a one-of-a-kind experience for the band, but ultimately, from a fan's…

location: Balingen / Messegelände / Germany date: 13.07.2018 Day two of the big Bang Your Head!!! festival had arrived. This time the headliner role went to the legendary Accept, who had cooked up something exclusive for the festival's…

The second day of this year's Metaldays served up a genre-hopping cross-section of acts, crowned by two outstanding sets from German heavy metal veterans Accept and Swedish black metal giants Watain.

The headliner role on this day went to the legendary Accept, who cooked up something exclusive for the festival's 20th anniversary and promised a spectacular show. A bunch of other seriously tasty treats made the bill too, including…

location: Munich / Tonhalle / Germany date: 14.01.2018 Making the pilgrimage to see the legendary Accept has become a kind of mantra since their reunion in 2008 (and without Udo Dirkschneider in the lineup this time, for good). The band…

Accept are still venomous and razor-jagged on stage. No shortage of destructive power here. Toxic, razor-sharp guitars keep the spirit of the old days alive and carry it over into the character and charisma of the band's new era. The band's…

The new album from the metal old guard doesn't bring the ferocity and expressive punch of the previous three. For all its routine quality, it drifts a little into average territory.

"After 18 years and more than 1,000 shows in over 50 countries around the world, Sabaton proved once again on Monday night that they're a force to be reckoned with and that their moment is far from over."

On Monday, Sabaton once again conquered the Zagreb hall, which was packed with plenty of Slovenian fans, and before them Accept served up a proper old-school heavy metal lesson!

This is the live document we've been waiting on from Accept, long and feverishly, and it pays off that wait in every way. The band is in outstanding live form in their golden years! There's still plenty of dynamite left in the stockpile.

"The question is whether See Rock will survive. Attendance was catastrophically bad. Just 4,500 people. The organizer had already cut the festival from two days to one early on, precisely because the two-day format was putting his bank…

This year's See Rock festival, just a stone's throw from Graz in Austria, served up only a one-day lineup. Even so, the organizers rounded up a bill interesting enough that you just couldn't say no. Especially with the festival headliner's…

Day three delivered what many call the high point of Metaldays 2015: Carcass!

The new Accept show flew by in just under two hours, like the blink of an eye. Great sound, great execution! The primal face of metal, forged on the old European continent at the turn of the seventies into the eighties, still works as if it…

Everything on »Blind Rage« is exactly where it should be. True to the band's tradition. They don't let up on modern production or on the inspiration of metal veterans, so their artistic bloom stays in full swing. Even in their golden years.

"By now night had fallen over the grounds, and Accept used the backdrop to serve up their iron-clad repertoire, which of course included Fast as a Shark, Metal Heart and Balls to the Wall. Experiencing the Accept march in front of a…

Accept, the unbreakable standard-bearers of the most traditional heavy metal heritage, delivered the grand finale of the seventeenth Bang Your Head.

Wolf Hoffmann, frontman and founding member of the legendary standard-bearers of Teutonic metal, the long-living Accept, sat down for a chat with RockLine before the band's show in Ljubljana and walked us through the album "Stalingrad".

It took thirty-five years, but it was worth it – Accept have finally thundered into Ljubljana!

Even before Germany's heavy metal champions Accept played their first show in Ljubljana, RockLine popped over to the Croatian capital, where we found out the quintet is packed with explosives like it hasn't been in ages, and they gave our…

At the battle for Stalingrad in Kempten, Germany, the legendary German metal cosmonauts Accept, the great lords of the Teutonic metal craft, proved once again that the inexhaustible potency of kids just starting out still flows through…

With the kind of fury »Stalingrad« carries, there's no fear we won't be meeting Accept in a new war any time soon. The hardest Accept album to date and, in its own theater, the darkest too!

Without Udo Dirkschneider on vocals, Accept have pulled their own standard out of the hat with a new studio manifesto that stands proudly next to the golden Accept catalog of the eighties. A new Accept is born for new times.

If Black Sabbath and Judas Priest are the godfathers of metal, then Accept are its godparents. Few bands had such a huge influence on the music of the day, and at the same time, more or less content with the status of grey eminence, stayed…
