Greece's Rockpages has issued an interview with ACCEPT guitarist and founding member, Wolf Hoffmann, who discusses the making of the band's comeback record, Blood Of The Nations. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Sakis Nikas:

Q: So, is this a new beginning for Accept? Will we see more albums with this lineup?

A: "Definitely. The chemistry in the band is better now than it has ever been. I have to tell you that we are putting all our energy, all our efforts into this but at the same time we are keeping it short-termed... I mean, we are taking one step at a time. In 2005, we wanted to do more stuff but Udo didn’t have much time... he wanted to carry on with his solo band. But now, we all get along and we hope to continue for many years in the future. The sky is the limit... that’s our attitude."
