│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Accept has been alive and kicking, in some form ║ │
│║ or another, since their inception as Band X in ║ │
│║ 1968. Even if you base Accept's longevity off of ║ │
│║ their official birth year of 1976, when they ║ │
│║ adopted the Accept moniker, that still makes the ║ │
│║ band nearly four decades old. Interestingly ║ │
│║ enough, this newest incantation of Accept, ║ │
│║ featuring Mark Tornillo, the not-so-new-anymore ║ │
│║ vocalist, shows the band at their most ║ │
│║ invigorated and furious in history. Blind Rage, ║ │
│║ the third full length since Tornillo's induction ║ │
│║ in 2009 and fourteenth overall, continues the ║ │
│║ band's trend of sounding exactly like classic ║ │
│║ Accept; full of classic hooky riffing, piss and ║ │
│║ vinegar attitude and generous amount of fist- ║ │
│║ pumping, arena styled choruses. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Both previous Tornillo-lead albums, Blood of the ║ │
│║ Nations and Stalingrad, showed Accept with a new ║ │
│║ found energy, which had been all but absent ║ │
│║ throughout the band's work in the nineties. ║ │
│║ There was much skepticism as to whether or not ║ │
│║ Accept could continue their ass-kicking, ║ │
│║ rejuvenated version of, well, classic Accept, ║ │
│║ but with their third album into their ║ │
│║ reformation they seem to be showing no signs of ║ │
│║ slowing down. Blind Rage continues the ║ │
│║ Tornillo-era tradition of sounding like classic ║ │
│║ Accept, with catchy, heavy riffing, classy ║ │
│║ leads, driving rhythms and Tornillo's scraped ║ │
│║ throat vocals. Tornillo is on fire, once again, ║ │
│║ sounding every bit as venomous as Udo ║ │
│║ Dirkschneider but with more range and variety in ║ │
│║ his approach. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While the rest of the band certainly aren't ║ │
│║ slouching, the guitar duo of Wolf Hoffman and ║ │
│║ Herman Frank are unstoppable. From speedy barn ║ │
│║ burners like ôStampedeö, featuring adrenaline ║ │
│║ fueled paces, to the more restrained, classic ║ │
│║ heavy metal riffing of ôBloodbath Mastermindö, ║ │
│║ these two manage to inject groove and melody ║ │
│║ into their heavy and driving riffs. Perhaps the ║ │
│║ most memorable aspects of the duo's fretwork is ║ │
│║ the combination of melodically inspired soloing ║ │
│║ amidst the crunchy riffs, like on the album's ║ │
│║ closer, ôFinal Journeyö, which also shows off a ║ │
│║ fair supply of syncopated melodies. The rhythm ║ │
│║ section does a fine job, with longtime member ║ │
│║ Peter Baltes providing a thick and meaty ║ │
│║ counterpoint to the crunchy guitar riffs and ║ │
│║ Stefan Schwarzmann's drum work galloping forward ║ │
│║ with some highbrow handwork. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A few sections spurn the fast paces and classic ║ │
│║ metal crunch, turning instead to an eighties ║ │
│║ arena-rock feel, like ôDark Side of My Heartö ║ │
│║ and ôFall of the Empireö. Although the band has ║ │
│║ always excelled at the gang chorus-led oh's and ║ │
│║ ah's that normally come with the style, it ║ │
│║ really only serves to slow the pace down which ║ │
│║ is not this version of Accept's strongest ║ │
│║ feature. Take away these slower sections and ║ │
│║ you're left with one hell of a heavy hitting ║ │
│║ classic metal album. Blind Rage continues the ║ │
│║ Tornillo fronted version of Accept's dominance ║ │
│║ of the sound they first pioneered nearly forty ║ │
│║ years ago. The bottom line is that if you like ║ │
│║ any version of Accept, Blind Rage is a no- ║ │
│║ brainer. ║ │
