ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann is featured in a new interview with The Rock Pit. An excerpt is available below:

Rock Pit: Are you guys already starting to think next album or you just going to ride this one (Blood Of The Nations) out?

Wolf Hoffmann: "No, we’re definitely, I mean, we’re here and we have to stop touring sometime soon because we need to write new material. We can’t do it on the road, so we’ll have to come and call it quits for the remainder of the year. We have decided to pull the plug in July and go back home, regroup, and start writing new songs."

Rock Pit: So many bands, especially when they do the reuniting whether it is with all the original members or not, try and rehash the past. You have taken your legacy and built on it. Where do you go from here? This album is so strong.

Wolf Hoffmann: "Well that, my friend, I don’t know. (Laughter) We’ll have to wait and see I guess. I guess we’re just gonna have the same attitude, the approach, we're just gonna do more of the same, you know, without it being the same. More similar style stuff, hopefully fresh new ideas. And I mean, we’re not gonna, the intention is not to change it right now, I mean, why would we?"

Rock Pit: I’m glad to hear that actually. In all the down time you had…

Wolf Hoffman: "But I’d have to say, it’s always easier said than done. (More laughter) It’s incredibly difficult to write songs that are sorta reminiscent of the past but they’re not, you know, rip offs of your own music. That sounds incredibly very simple but it’s really not, especially if you have a sorta history of 15 albums or whatever we have. Then there are always similarities that you have to avoid. It can’t be too close, but it can’t be too far away from it. So it’s a pretty fine line that you have to walk sometimes but, you know, hopefully we’ll manage again."
