Band: ACCEPT
Single: The Rise Of Chaos
Release Date: 2 June 2017

Label: Nuclear Blast

 

Tracklist:

1 – The Rise Of Chaos

 

 

Perfection is what should be expected from the legendary ACCEPT’s work and it has always been like that. But since 2010 when they returned to the scene with Mark Tornillo as the new vocalist, they brought more maturity to their music. ACCEPT now is wiser and more serious, both in music and lyrics! They are now proudly preparing to release their 15th studio album, “The Rise Of Chaos”, on August 4th, but to bring the flames of excitement into their fans camp, they released the title track single on June 2nd.

‘The Rise Of Chaos’ is not far from ACCEPT’s metal tradition, heavy and epic music with powerful riffs and thick sounds, which is accompanied by heart touching solos. But in this particular song they used a different structure in the verses, pre-choruses, choruses and bridges. In the verses, Mark has chosen shorter sentences with quite strong stops which match the thrashy riffs in the background. The pre-choruses seem to be longer than usual, with more old school heavy metal riffs joining the choruses, almost like a conversation between the band as a choir and Mark as the lead vocalist, something that the band used previously on the ‘Fall of the Empire’ song. The main riff in this song has a thrashy feel which is extended throughout the whole of track, inviting listeners to join in head banging.

‘The Rise Of Chaos’ is actually a great preamble, giving fans a taste of what can be expected on ACCEPT’s upcoming album. It is also another non fictional masterpiece and a very realistic comment from the band, based on the facts of what is happening in the world today!

Rating 9/10

“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.

The cover is our last stage set – but now clearly “destroyed” – like… after a catastrophe”, explains Wolf Hoffmann.

The cover artwork of the new record was created by the Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák.

ACCEPT: Unveil The Cover Artwork Of “The Rise Of Chaos”

Iconic 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.

Today, the band has unveiled the cover artwork of the new record, which was created by the Hungarian artist Gyula Havancsák.  

“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 is our last stage set – but now clearly “destroyed” – like… after a catastrophe”, explains Wolf Hoffmann.

And if this wasn’t enough, ACCEPT will celebrate the album’s live premiere exclusively on August 3rd, on the day before its release, as a part of a special show at Wacken Open Air, Germany. The set will consist of three parts, which represent the band’s creative power:

Part 1 will bring fans a classic ACCEPT set, packed with new and old hits.
Part 2 will present another premiere: Wolf Hoffmann will be playing tracks from his solo album “Headbangers Symphony”, released in 2016, with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra for the very first time. On this record, Wolf has covered famous opuses by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, and Mozart, in a metal guise. And in Part 3, all elements can be seen and heard together: ACCEPT will make the holy Wacken ground shake by sharing the stage with the orchestra, supported by a complex multimedia show.

This unique concert experience will take place on this year’s “Night To Remember” which makes it even more special. The “Night To Remember” is a celebrated, long-lasting Wacken tradition; for one night of the festival a selection of established bands will do something unique and special with their performance.

Wolf Hoffmann stated: “It’s always impressive to see how bands take this evening seriously and how much love the artists and the organising team put into their work to get a varied result. It’s a great tradition which underlines and documents the top-notch level of the international rock community like nothing else. We also want to present something that ACCEPT has never done before, we hope we can give something really special to the fans.”

“ACCEPT have been and are still a very important part of Germany’s heavy metal scene. We’re really looking forward to having them with us once more. With this epic concept, the Thursday evening will be one to remember for sure,” stated Thomas Jensen, organiser of Wacken Open Air.
