Formed in 1976 in Solingen, West Germany, Accept stands as one of the true pioneers of European heavy metal. Fronted by the distinctive voice of Udo Dirkschneider and powered by Wolf Hoffmann’s razor-sharp riffs, the band rose to prominence in the 1980s with cult classics such as Restless and Wild (1982), Balls to the Wall (1983), and Metal Heart (1985). Their raw energy, militant rhythm, and melodic precision helped shape the sound of modern metal.

After several breakups and reunions, Accept returned stronger than ever in the 2010s with vocalist Mark Tornillo, delivering acclaimed albums like Blood of the Nations (2010) and Too Mean to Die (2021). Decades later, the band remains a dominant live act — a symbol of the enduring power and discipline of German heavy metal.
