ACCEPT RELEASE THIRD ALBUM TRAILER FOR BLIND RAGE

2014-08-07 - Pioneering German heavy metallers ACCEPT have released the last of their three online trailers for their upcoming new album Blind Rage, due out in North America on August 19th.

“I’m a gut player,” shares ACCEPT guitarist & songwriter Wolf Hoffmann about his songwriting process. “I don’t really ever know exactly why something works… what scales I’m using or what melodies… I just play what I feel. I’m not somebody who just sits down and practices his instrument all day long and waits for a nice melody to come his way. I do it the opposite way.”

About his guitar solos on the new album, Hoffmann reveals: “I think, ‘What could that song really need?’ as if it was a vocal idea, because that you certainly do the same way. I usually work alone. I can’t concentrate when other people are in the room. I usually lock myself away working out solo parts.”

Hoffmann also discusses his guitar and band influences.

ABOUT ACCEPT

Built around the songwriting nucleus of Hoffmann and bassist Peter Baltes, ACCEPT's beginnings can be traced back to the late 1970s. The German band played a pivotal role in the development of speed and thrash metal, which emerged in the early to mid-1980s. Along with Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, ACCEPT has delivered an undeniable impact on the global metal scene by writing & performing an innovative, pioneering body of work which include some of the most influential metal albums of all time, including 1982’s Restless and Wild (which debuted "Fast As A Shark," the first speed metal song ever recorded), 1984’s Balls To The Wall (the group's most well-known song to date which has become a worldwide metal anthem) and 1985’s Metal Heart. ACCEPT's premier status as ambassadors of the genre has led to pop culture crossover into film (The Wrestler), television (Justified; Beavis and Butthead), and the video games realm (Grand Theft Auto, Guitar Hero). ACCEPT’s popularity and status as one of the world's exemplary heavy metal bands has allowed them to flourish for decades with no sign of slowing down. The band's two previous albums - Blood of the Nations (2010) and Stalingrad (2012) - have charted internationally, topping both critic and fan polls in the process.
