The label recently issued the following press release:

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.
