German heavy metal legends Accept celebrate 50 years of pure power, by bringing together the scene’s A-list musicians for a landmark release. “Teutonic Titans 1976–2026” stands as a definitive statement of the band’s legacy, forged in steel and driven by unmistakable riffs. Arriving on September 4th, 2026, via Napalm Records, the new album delivers some of the most iconic songs ever written in heavy music.
Led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, the longtime architect of Accept’s sound, the band is joined by a staggering 50 guests across 19 reimagined versions of their biggest tracks. “Teutonic Titans 1976-2026” is Accept’s most ambitious and star-studded release to date, reaching far beyond their country’s borders. Featuring the biggest names in heavy music paying tribute to the German icons, the record cements the band’s standing on the global stage. This is more than an album; it is a manifesto of metal! Pre-orders are now available in various exclusive formats.
Wolf Hoffmann about “Teutonic Titans 1976-2026”:
“There is no better way to celebrate this 50-year anniversary than to have our musical peers, friends, and inspirations come together with us to record these classic Accept songs, which I am honored and proud to share with the World. I hope everyone enjoys this very special record as much as we all enjoyed making it”.
Chronologically progressing through albums from their formative years, from “I’m a Rebel” (1980) to “Eat the Heat” (1989), Accept present their songs with an all-new, all-star lineup, alongside the signature voice of Mark Tornillo and Wolf Hoffmann’s unmistakable riffs. By enlisting a Who’s Who of metal, no two songs on “Teutonic Titans 1976-2026” are the same. Every track features a different combination of vocals, guitars, bass, and drums, giving each classic a fresh edge.
Tobias Forge delivers a commanding performance on the track “Save Us” (“I’m a Rebel”, 1980), joined by Ray Luzier on drums. Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee tear through the speed metal classic “Fast as a Shark” (“Restless and Wild”, 1982). “Balls to the Wall” surges with the powerful range of Metal God Rob Halford, alongside the guitar work of Matthias Jabs, while the reimagined “Love Child” is elevated by Billy Corgan and David Ellefson (both songs from “Balls to the Wall”, 1983).
Other guest stars on Accept’s extraordinary release include K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund, and Jeff Loomis. The album also features a re-recording of “Hellhammer” (“Eat the Heat”, 1989), performed by Accept’s current lineup: Wolf Hoffmann, bassist Martin Motnik, guitarist Philip Shouse and drummer Christopher Williams, joined by Jason McMaster on vocals.
