德国金属传奇Accept的第十三张全新录音室大碟将于2012年4月6日在Nuclear Blast发行！
德国的Accept乐队组建于1970年，是80年代早期顶尖的重金属乐队。包括主唱Udo Dirkschneider，吉他手Wolf Hoffman和Gerhard Wahl，贝斯手Peter Baltes以及鼓手Frank Friedrich。他们在主唱Udo Dirkschneider的带领下，通过凶狠简洁的节奏和极富杀伤力的速度以及无与伦比的强悍的舞台风格的塑造，在重金属乐坛独树一帜，但乐队于1996年因各种原因解散了。2010年Accept再度回归，时隔整整14年，他们浴血重生，并由Mark Tornillo担任新主唱发布了专辑《Blood of Nations》。这张专辑在美国大约售出了27000张，并且首周便在Billboard排行榜上排在187位。
2012年，乐队卷土重来，新专辑将带领乐迷回到一个更具破坏性的金属音乐中，乐队迫不及待也作出很多的宣传，网上已流出新歌Stalingrad的视听，这首新歌也得到乐迷的一致好评，确实以Hoffman和Fischer厚重致密充满压迫感的双吉他为根基，配合上Mark Tornillo独特的尖啸——或许只有AC/DC的Bon Scott才与之有的一拼。
我们在官网上还可了解到 Accept的吉他手Wolf Holfman提及：“Accept与Andy Sneap有着完美的合作效应，上张专辑《Blood Of The Nations》做得非常干净，我们能为继续做下一张专辑而感到非常兴奋。Andy并不仅仅是一个非常杰出而多产的制作人，他同时也是我们Accept一直以来的好朋友。”

官方原英文版：
Back with an even more devastating album in 2012, ACCEPT’s Stalingrad will be unleashed on April 6th in Europe and April 10th in North America.
The follow-up album to the runaway success of 2010’s Blood Of The Nations, the eleven tracks produced by Andy Sneap that constitute Stalingrad are filled to capacity with everything that made ACCEPT famous: exceptional songwriting, soaring guitar solos, a propelling dual-guitar attack, a no-holds-barred rhythm section and chanted background vocals. Practically every track is destined to become a live anthem!
States guitarist Wolf Hoffman: “We put ourselves under enormous pressure to bring out a new album right after our 180-show tour marathon, which took us two times around the globe. But we are very proud about what we delivered with Stalingrad and we hope our fans will like it as well.”
ACCEPT will be touring throughout Europe this April with NWOBHM label mates Hell. View the tour trailer here.
Blood Of The Nations was nominated throughout the world as “Hard Rock and Metal Album of the Year” for 2010. The week following its release, it debuted as the #25 Rock Album on iTunes and at #187 on The Billboard 200 chart, #170 on the Top Current Albums chart, and on the #41 Independent Albums chart. In Canada, the album debuted at #53 on the Nielsen Soundscan Top Hard Albums chart. In Europe, Blood Of The Nations entered the German album charts at #4 – the highest German chart entry in the band’s career – and debuted at #12 on the Billboard European chart with the following additional worldwide chart entries: #7 in Sweden; #7 in Hungary; #9 in Finland; #19 in Austria; and #27 in the Czech Republic.
