Heavy metal pioneers ACCEPT are back in the game with a new studio album! The record entitled “The Rise Of Chaos”, will be unleashed on August 4th, 2017! This will be the band’s 4th studio release through Nuclear Blast and continues the tradition of its three predecessors – »Blood Of The Nations«, »Stalingrad«, and »Blind Rage« – with grandeur and precision.
Today, ACCEPT reveal their first track-by-track trailer, in which Wolf Hoffmann talks about the songs ‘Die By The Sword’, ‘Hole In The Head’ and ‘The Rise Of Chaos’. Watch it here:
“»The Rise Of Chaos« is something I have been thinking about often. Wherever we go – there is some hidden as well as some visible destruction and it kind of changes the world we know. What was there today – can be gone tomorrow and it’s somehow irritating, because it happens on so many levels and no one knows what comes next. The cover portrays our last stage set-up – but now clearly “destroyed” – like… after a catastrophe”, explains Wolf Hoffmann.

Check out the lyric video for latest single ‘Koolaid’:
Metal giants ACCEPT are set to release their 4th studio album through Nuclear Blast entitled “The Rise Of Chaos”, which will be in stores on August 4th. In anticipation of their new offering, the band have just released a lyric video for the track ‘Koolaid’. Check it out below:
Wolf Hoffmann commented on the track: “‘Koolaid’ is a well known flavoured drink and has been mixed with Cyanid by a cult leader who made his congregation drink it: men, women & children. All so everybody could get to heaven. Since then, the phrase ‘drinking the Kool-Aid’ refers to a person or group holding an unquestioned belief, argument, or philosophy without critical examination. That common fact, that people believe everything, when sold right, has intrigued me all my life. For me, being critical and alert all the time, is the key to every decision one makes. That is the main message!”
Heavy metal pioneers ACCEPT are back in the game with a new studio album! The record entitled “The Rise Of Chaos”, will be unleashed on August 4th, 2017. The band’s 4th studio release through Nuclear Blast will continue the tradition of its three predecessors – “Blood Of The Nations”, “Stalingrad”, and “Blind Rage” – with grandeur and precision.
The band have released their third album trailer in which Wolf Hoffmann explains the album title and why it fits so perfectly in today’s world. If you want to find out about the connection between the new ACCEPT album and the rise of chaos in our world, watch the clip here:
Wolf states: “The more you look at the news nowadays, the more the album title fits because times get pretty chaotic these days. Things seem to be getting more and more extreme. Violence and terror will often result in even more violence. Stephen Hawking or somebody once said that in a hundred years from now, there won’t be any more people on this planet. We will be all extinct one day because we might have killed ourselves. Who knows? But it’s certainly an interesting thought…”
“»The Rise Of Chaos« is something I have been thinking about often. Wherever we go – there is some hidden as well as some visible destruction and it kind of changes the world we know. What was there today – can be gone tomorrow and it’s somehow irritating, because it happens on so many levels and no one knows what comes next. The cover portrays our last stage set-up – but now clearly “destroyed” – like… after a catastrophe”, explains Wolf Hoffmann.

Today, the band releases their second album trailer in which Wolf Hoffmann unveils more details about the album including info on the recordings, the sound and processes that went into those aspects of making their new record. You can watch it here:
“The sound is always a combination of several different elements, it’s not just the sound engineer who turns it up. Also the band has a certain sound, the riffs have a certain sound and the combination of all that turns into ACCEPT!”, explains Wolf Hoffmann. “My goal is to get better at what we are already doing without becoming any different because we have found our style, we’ve got a great singer, we’ve got a great producer, we’ve got a great team – there’s really no need to change anything!”
