Accept - A Metal Nation!
Interview By: David Priest © 2010 On Track Magazine.com After a fourteen year absence from
the playing field, legendary German Metal band Accept have decided to
return to the forefront of the scene with a new singer and what may in fact be
their most prolific album to date. As it happens, there is currently a
resurgence of interest in traditional Heavy Metal and while some from the
golden era of the genre have opted to hang it up, these guys feel that their
best years are still ahead of them. I recently was privileged to have a sit
down phone chat with guitarist extraordinaire Wolf Hoffman to discuss their resurrection
and exactly how they fair among today’s prominent Metal movement. Also included
in the topics of discussion was the ability of their new vocalist Mark Tornillo to fill the shoes of departed frontman and founder
Udo Dirkschneider as well
as the band’s most recent release Blood of the Nations which marks the
highest charting album of their career. Check it out! |
