April 3, 2014, 10 years ago
Metal Wani editor-in-chief Owais 'Vitek' Nabi recently had the opportunity to sit down for a video interview with ACCEPT vocalist Mark Tornillo, and discussed a variety of topics, including the nature of the upcoming new album, the vibe during the studio sessions, their collaborative songwriting process, the challenges he faced in his musical journey, his drive to achieve more and his desire to travel to India.
Hardly any other band has influenced the heavy metal genre as much as German legends 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.
