As part of the Blind Rage world tour in support of their upcoming new album, Blind Rage, ACCEPT will tour in Australia for the very first time!

“The closest we have ever been to Australia is sharing the stage with AC/DC in Europe,” says Peter Baltes with a big smile, “but now it’s time to kick some serious butt down under.” Shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are scheduled for mid-November 2014. “We are really excited and as the fans down there have been asking for this to happen for such a long time, we promise to deliver all the goods, well worth the wait,” comments Wolf Hoffmann.

The dates are:

November

14 – Sydney, Australia – Factory Theatre
15 – Melbourne, Australia – Corner Hotel
16 – Brisbane, Australia – The HiFi

Hardly any other band has influenced the heavy metal genre as much as Accept. Classics albums such as Restless And Wild (1982), Balls To The Wall (1983) and Metal Heart (1985), have inspired generations of new bands, and this has continued since their reunion in 2009. Both Blood Of The Nations (2010) and Stalingrad (2012) entered the charts globally (#6 in Germany, #81 in the US) and underline the premiere league status Accept still have today.

Now the band announce the release of their new studio album: “Something happened to us, something subliminal and impetuous,” commented main composer Wolf Hoffmann. “It is wild and scary and it’s called Blind Rage!”

Blind Rage, just like its two predecessors has been produced, mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap. On July 18th, Blind Rage will be released worldwide.

“The cover artwork done by Daniel Goldsworthy shows the beast coming over us - in blind rage - all over the planet. Wherever we go, whenever you turn on the TV – there is blind rage in the works – either natural catastrophes or man-made madness”, the axe man of Accept states.

Accept have launched an official line of eyewear in conjunction with Hellbrecht Optics.

According to Wolf Hoffmann: “Once you wear these you’ll want no other.”
