ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann is featured in a new interview with Greece-based Solid Rock. An excerpt is available below:

Solid Rock: Being studio absent for 14 years – since Predator was released – is a long time, really. The name of Accept is written in gold letters in the eternal Heavy Metal book, anyway, but I wonder what younger metal fans think of Blood Of The Nations. On the other hand, classic Heavy Metal has this specific charisma of tugging everyone’s heartstrings. Do you see enough young fans in your shows so far? How do they react to the new songs?

Wolf Hoffmann: Hell yeah! We see young fans and the reaction to the new songs is awesome. You have to understand - no one could foresee what happened to us now. We are on a huge wave and can't believe it ourselves. Everybody who knows me, knows - that I am a perfectionist. I am a pain in the butt, when it comes to be critical. But, I have to say to myself, at the end of the day: I did the best I could. And I guess, that is part of Accept's spirit - we fight to the last breath to better us. Always. For Mark (Tornillo / vocals) it was and is quite a challenge and we are lucky, that he got used to it right away. No free lunch with us! We work and we work day and night to give the fans what they deserve: Our utmost best. And I guess we can say today - the fans did not only accept Mark, he won them over big time!"
