SIDE A  – Balls To The Wall
SIDE B – Symphony No.40 in G Minor
LIVE AT WACKEN OPEN AIR 2017, with CNSO Symphony Orchestra

ACCEPT are experiencing more success than ever before and have hit their stride creatively! In the 10th year since the band’s reunion, the quintet can look back on four top 10 albums in Germany, including an unbelievable #1 with »Blind Rage« (2014) and a brilliant #3 with their latest album »The Rise Of Chaos« (2017).

Over the past few months, the German band has been anything but passive, instead they‘ve been finalising their latest project, their upcoming live release “Symphonic Terror – Live at Wacken 2017″, which will be released on November 23rd via Nuclear Blast!

Fans can expect a unique, 2 hour ACCEPT show, shot on August 3rd, 2017 at the legendary W:O:A, where the band played the biggest and most extraordinary show of their career in front of 80.000 live fans at the festival, on top of thousands more fans watching via the live stream! The show was divided into three parts, showing the full creative power of ACCEPT: The first part hosted the premiere of new tracks ‘Die By The Sword’ and ‘Koolaid’, as well as some of their most popular songs, such as ‘Restless And Wild’ and ‘Pandemic’. The middle part hosted guitarist Wolf Hoffmann accompanied by a symphony orchestra, presenting the best-of from his recent solo album »Headbangers Symphony«, which includes metal versions of some of the world‘s biggest classical compositions (e.g. from Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi,…). And in the last but not least part, fans were able to bang their heads to ACCEPT anthems (also accompanied by the orchestra), such as ‘Princess Of The Dawn’, ‘Breaker’, ‘Fast As A Shark’ and ‘Metal Heart’, as well as to new songs like ‘Stalingrad’, ‘Shadow Soldiers’ or ‘Teutonic Terror’. The finale could be nothing less than an 8 minute version of their eminent hit ‘Balls To The Walls’!

“This was a mash-up of intensity and precision,” Wolf Hoffmann says about the fusion of Heavy Metal and classical music. “The fans are extremely open-minded,” continues Wolf happy, “but I was nervous ’till the last minute before the show anyway. After all it’s still a metal festival! But I think that, after many years of ACCEPT combining both worlds, fans have started to really accept this concept.”

By the way: What started as a world premiere in Wacken and caused quite a stir worldwide (thanks to the live streams) will be continued in early 2019. This means: ACCEPT are planning to tour across Europe with an orchestra in spring 2019! “I really hope we will be able to fulfill our dream – we are working hard on it!” tells Wolf Hoffmann with eager anticipation. “What I can already say now is that there will be lots of optical and musical surprises, that fans of ACCEPT have never experienced before. We want to multiply what we have achieved in Wacken and are happy about every bit of support we get. One thing is for sure: 2019 will be exciting!”

As a platform for interesting, young and dynamic bands, these festivals will be established as a recurring event over the next few years, they will be presented by Continental Concerts to offer a live spectacle to all fans of Heavy Metal.

The Heavy Metal legends have therefore invited ORDEN OGAN, REFUGE and MONUMENT for the “festival” shows 2018! While ORDAN OGAN are one of the most established bands in the German Power Metal scene, REFUGE (with the original RAGE Line-Up from 1988-1993) are known for their Ruhr-Area Thrash Metal. Fans of this RAGE era should take note! Supporters of MAIDEN and PRIEST will also be pleased with the young and dynamic guys in MONUMENT. They don‘t make it a secret that they openly quote their heroes in their own songs, and are loudly spreading the flair of the 80s!

Wolf Hoffmann: “ACCEPT will be touring with an Orchestra all over the world in 2019”

TheMetalVoice-WolfHofmann

For The Metal Voice former Anthrax singer Neil Turbin interviewed ACCEPT guitarist Wolf Hoffmann in Pasadena, California USA at The Rose on September 29 2018. Wolf Hoffmann spoke about the bands upcoming plans to tour with an orchestra all over the world, new album update and their new live album Symphonic Terror Live at Wacken 2017 that will be released on November 23 2018 via Nuclear Blast.

Watch the interview here:

When asked about the new live album Symphonic Terror Live at Wacken 2017
“It’s going to be a live DVD/CD of the show we did live at Wacken with 50 piece orchestra it was incredible, I always wanted to do that and it finally all came together when we played at Wacken a 2 hour set. I also played some stuff from my solo album ‘Headbangers Symphony’ and we played a bunch of Accept songs that were never done with orchestra. I have always been a fan of classical music however I was never a classically trained musician. My solo album was more like a tribute from an outsider. I just grew up wanting to make noise with Marshall stacks. A lot of these classical pieces are beautiful and I always thought it would be so cool to have a bunch of violins on stage and combine the two worlds.”

When asked if they plan to tour with an orchestra
“The orchestra at Wacken was meant to be a one off but then everybody loved it so much and we loved it so much he decided to bring this out on the road with us somehow because that what it waere it was meant to be. So we will be performing with an orchestra next year all over the world. It will start in Europe then Russia then the rest of the world.”

When asked about details of an upcoming studio album
“We have been so busy touring and with the classical album coming out so no time yet to work on. Yes we will make a new album but when we will get started I don’t know yet. I can’t write on the road. Then will be a time when I set the time aside and focus and dig into it. The musical direction is not going to change dramatically we don’t want to, we haven’t changed our style on the last four albums.

When asked about his writing style
“I am not trying to write any different I’m trying to write in the frame of mind that we had back in the day, how we felt back then and trying to recapture that even though it’s 40 years ago. I think we found out style and we are trying to write songs that could have been written 30 years ago. We are trying to write old school songs with modern tools and technology. It sounds simple but it really isn’t. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel but we want to build on what we have.

Accept Band 2017

German heavy metal legends ACCEPT are experiencing more success than ever, and have hit their stride creatively! In the 10th year since the band’s reunion, the quintet can look back on four top 10 albums in Germany, including an unbelievable #1 with »Blind Rage« (2014) and a brilliant #3 with their latest album »The Rise Of Chaos« (2017).

Six months after the success that was »The Rise Of Chaos« world tour, ACCEPT will start their festival season on the 22th of June at Rockfels Open Air, and will play headline shows at legendary Bang Your Head!!! in Balingen as well as at Rock am Stück festival and at Rock am Härtsfeldsee. They will finish the tour leg on July 28th as special guests to the legendary JUDAS PRIEST in Vienna.

Over the past few months, the German band has been anything but passive, instead they‘ve been finalising their latest project, their upcoming live release »Symphonic Terror – Live at Wacken 2017«, which will be released on November 23rd via Nuclear Blast!
