│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ German heavy metal legends Accept released their ║ │
│║ twelfth studio album ôBlood Of The Nationsö in ║ │
│║ late 2010. It was their first studio release ║ │
│║ after nearly 14 years in the wilderness, and it ║ │
│║ marked the beginning of a new chapter in the ║ │
│║ life of this veteran band. Led by new singer ║ │
│║ Mark Tornillo, they returned with freshness and ║ │
│║ fervour, and delivered an album for the fans to ║ │
│║ savor. It was unanimously acknowledged as the ║ │
│║ best comeback album any band has released in ║ │
│║ recent years, and now, Accept is ready with the ║ │
│║ follow-up album ôStalingradö. ItÆs an album I ║ │
│║ was very eagerly waiting for, and I greatly ║ │
│║ appreciate the bandÆs quick turnaround. Over the ║ │
│║ course of the past year or so, they were ║ │
│║ constantly writing new material, and went ║ │
│║ straight into the studio at the end of their ║ │
│║ touring cycle for ôBlood Of The Nationsö. The ║ │
│║ result is yet another set of solid heavy metal ║ │
│║ tunes that add further to AcceptÆs already ║ │
│║ fantastic repertoire. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The lively, epic and catchy ôHung Drawn And ║ │
│║ Quarteredö is the opening tune, and the best ║ │
│║ possible start this album would have hoped for. ║ │
│║ The band seems to have continued from where they ║ │
│║ left off in ôBlood Of The Nationsö, with some ║ │
│║ great hooks, melodies and solos. This ║ │
│║ quintessential Accept tune will be nothing short ║ │
│║ of pure delight for the fans. The title track ║ │
│║ comes next, and interestingly, itÆs straightaway ║ │
│║ reminiscent of the title track of ôBlood Of The ║ │
│║ Nationsö, at least in terms of the vocals and ║ │
│║ the main riff. But unlike that tune, it doesnÆt ║ │
│║ follow a typically consistent song structure and ║ │
│║ ventures off into ballad territory in its latter ║ │
│║ half, and overall, I think itÆs relatively more ║ │
│║ melodic. It took me by surprise to be honest, ║ │
│║ and I didnÆt expect the band to change things so ║ │
│║ much, simply because Blood Of The Nations worked ║ │
│║ so well for them. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ôHellfireö takes the album to the next level, ║ │
│║ with music as solid as anything on the album, ║ │
│║ and dark undertones that come mainly from the ║ │
│║ guitar riffs. It straightaway creates a ║ │
│║ sinister, exotic sort of vibe that captivates ║ │
│║ the listener, and never lets go. In fact, the ║ │
│║ last part of that statement can be applied to ║ │
│║ the entire album, as it really doesnÆt wane, ║ │
│║ even for a single moment. There is a great ║ │
│║ amount of joy in store for fans of early Accept ║ │
│║ material, with tunes like ôFlash To Bang Timeö, ║ │
│║ ôRevolutionö, ôAgainst The Worldö and ôThe Quick ║ │
│║ And The Deadö providing plenty of moments that ║ │
│║ induce head-banging, fist-pumping and singing ║ │
│║ along. But in addition, there are slower, deeper ║ │
│║ and melodic tunes like ôShadow Soldiersö, ôTwist ║ │
│║ Of Fateö and ôThe Galleyö, which showcase the ║ │
│║ depth of Wolf Hoffman and Herman FrankÆs guitar ║ │
│║ work. The range of Mark TornilloÆs vocals is ║ │
│║ also far greater on this album, as is evident ║ │
│║ from these three tunes. And of course, Peter ║ │
│║ Baltes on bass and Stefan Schwarzmann on drums ║ │
│║ provide brilliant variations in the rhythm ║ │
│║ section throughout the album, which is almost ║ │
│║ like stating the obvious, because they do it ║ │
│║ with such effortless ease. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Ever since I heard of AcceptÆs comeback, I ║ │
│║ considered ôBlood Of The Nationsö as a debut ║ │
│║ album, simply because it was a fresh start for ║ │
│║ the bandÆs new line-up. Any band wants to create ║ │
│║ a strong impression through their debut album, ║ │
│║ and once they do that, the second album is ║ │
│║ invariably better. ItÆs fascinating for me to ║ │
│║ note that this applies to Accept as well. They ║ │
│║ have clearly taken inspiration from their ║ │
│║ glorious comeback album and the overwhelming ║ │
│║ reception among fans, as they have come up with ║ │
│║ an even better album this time around. In my ║ │
│║ opinion, the band has written these songs with a ║ │
│║ far greater sense of freedom and adventure, and ║ │
│║ have expressed themselves completely. Relatively ║ │
│║ stronger, richer, intricate, melodic and more ║ │
│║ exotic as compared to the previous effort, ║ │
│║ AcceptÆs ôStalingradö looks set to rule the ║ │
│║ world of classic heavy metal. ║ │
