In addition, Accept bassist Peter Baltes is featured in a new video interview with Superskum, conducted in Denver, CO on April 24th. Check out the interviews below:

As previously reported, it all started May 8th of just last year when the reunited Accept hit the stage for the first time at the Gramercy Theater in New York. With the new album still 4 months away, and their future uncertain, Accept took the stage, and the Teutonic Terror was launched. A worldwide pandemic of metal took on the world. From New York to Russia, Finland, Germany, England, Spain, Brazil, Hungary, France, Japan, and everywhere in between the band launched a vicious assault on the world... and that was BEFORE their new album, Blood Of The Nations, was even released. But what would happen when it was released...

In September 2010 Blood of the Nations hit stores, and exploded.

Blood of the Nations is the metal and hard rock album of the year 2010, and the music media around the world is all in absolute agreement. On the web and around the world, Blood Of The Nations received more than 30 "Album Of The Year" awards, it smashed chart records for past Accept albums and removed any doubt... the Teutonic Terror was back.

To celebrate this amazing year, Accept has put together a video of their track 'Teutonic Terror' from over 100 fan-shot clips.

Wolf Hoffmann states: "It's amazing now everyone has a camera and can videotape the shows. Back in the day it was a big issue with people bootlegging concerts, now, everyone does it. 5 mins after the show's over it's on YouTube so we thought this would be a fun way to embrace it rather than to fight against it. Back in '85 we did a live album in Japan which was called Kaizoku-Ban, which roughly translates to Bootleg, so I guess this is our 2011 answer to that. t's been a amazing ride, and it's far from over."
