The German heavy metal band Accept is approaching a major milestone in the next couple of years – 50 years of making music. In celebration, the band is planning a massive tour and a special album release in a career spanning anniversary album.
Wolf Hoffmann of Accept spoke on the anniversary saying, “it’s an incredible honor to be able to look back on five decades of a musical career and share our music with so many people. But nothing lasts forever and who knows how much longer we’ll be touring…..This tour will be very special because we think 50 years of ACCEPT is a GREAT reason to celebrate in style!”
He added, “we wanted to create something that captures the essence of ACCEPT while offering something new to our loyal fans. This album is a tribute to our journey and to everyone who has accompanied us along the way.”
