Accept is a German heavy metal band whose roots can be traced back to the late 1960s, with their foundation solidifying in 1976. The group gained international fame in the early 1980s, particularly with the release of their iconic album "Balls to the Wall" in 1983. Initially fronted by vocalist Udo Dirkschneider, Accept’s brand of heavy metal was marked by fierce riffs, anthemic choruses, and a no-nonsense approach to rock that resonated with fans of the genre around the globe.

Throughout their career, Accept has undergone numerous lineup changes, with guitarist Wolf Hoffmann being the mainstay member steering the band’s creative direction. Their remarkable resilience and commitment to their craft are reflected in their consistency in recording and touring. Albums like "Blood of the Nations" (2010) and "Blind Rage" (2014) marked successful comebacks, introducing Accept to a new generation of headbangers. Recent works, including the intense and hard-hitting studio album "Too Mean to Die" (2021), alongside an array of live recordings such as "Symphonic Terror (Live at Wacken 2017)" and "Restless & Live", showcase the band's enduring appeal and their ability to deliver powerful performances well into the 21st century. With a legacy spanning over four decades, Accept remains a significant and influential force in the world of heavy metal.
