ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and bassist Peter Baltes are featured in a new interview with Aftonbladet's Mattias Kling, conducted in Gävle, Sweden at the Getaway Rock festival, which ran from July 7th - 9th. Check it out below:

As previously reported, Baltes is also featured in a new interview with MetalExiles.com. An excerpt is available below:

Metal Exiles: With so many bands calling it quits what keeps Accept going?

Peter: "For one, we are not running out of ideas but there is also the fact that Wolf and I have been friends since high school, the friendship here is deep. As long as the fans come and want to see us and we can put out albums that can stand the test of time then it makes sense to keep on going. If one day we cannot do it anymore and we put out a record that nobody wants to listen to then we will pack it in."

Metal Exiles: Whats next after this American tour?

Peter: "We are going to South America then Europe for some dates. We are doing Sweden Rock with Judas Priest and the fans are going crazy that we are playing with them on the same day. We are playing some other festivals during the summer then we go home and relax. We will start writing right away and Andy does have studio time already booked so hopefully we will get started and have an album done by early next year."

Metal Exiles: To look back on your career you have done some stuff outside of Accept. Looking back what was the best thing that you have done and why?

Peter: "It is hard to say but the DON DOKKEN record (Up From The Ashes) was probably the best because it was such a good record. It was first class musicianship, we did a great tour but it was just a project and for some reason it just did not work out. There is a difference between a real band and a project band. I would take a real DOKKEN record over what we did anytime."
