UDO has always sounded like an angry drunk, it's true. But his voice is so special that he adds the anger many seek in metal songs.

Besides, didn't Accept recruit Tornillo because he sounds like UDO?

Basically, UDO's voice is still the reference and the identity to ACCEPT.

Having said that, both ACCEPT and UDO are my favorites

Wow, that's killer! Can't wait for the complete album.

For those whut ain't heared it yet, here's the new track "The Abyss" -- sounds pretty bad ass to me

I just heard teutonic terror!

WOW! I have the feeling this album is gonna be one of the best purchases in years.

As of right now I plan on getting it! Like what I hear.

Its going to be a BUY OR DIE album for any metal fan in this world.

I definitely will be picking this up. This guy is Udo-esque but not as nasally which is what drives me nuts with Udo's voice.

New album info...

Funky cover...

Cover's kinda goofy. But what the hell, I really like the two tracks I've heard ("the Abyss" and "Teutonic Terror") so I'm hoping the rest of the album will shred as well. Bring it on, Accept!!

Just read on Blabbermouth that they're doing two shows in this area (one in NYC, one in New Jersey) with King's X (!) opening ... rather odd combo don'tcha think?

This album is BADASS!

Wolf is as good as ever and Mark is a great addition.

I've had this since last week and have heard it about 50 times and it's the best metal cd I've heard in 10 years.
Not one bad track on there it's all great German heavy metal. My fav to date is "Pandemic" simply gives me goosebumps when I hear it. "Time Machine" a bonus track is a slower piece but the guitar work is phenominal!

The guitar work between Wolf & Herman is also the best I've heard in years these 2 compliment each other very well.

I'd rate this cd 15/10

The album isn't out here yet

I think Ronny Munroe would've also been a great choice for this new Accept lineup. The music is similar to what he was doing in Metal Church, only better.

This is sounding like a no regrets purchase. I'll have to move it up on the prioprity list. I'm looking forward to it.

It's not out in the US yet but I ordered my copy from MetalSeasons for 9.99.

Accept's Facebook page is tooting the fact that BLOOD OF THE NATIONS debuted at #4 on the German album charts, which is their best-ever chart showing in their homeland.

...for those of ya who actually care about that sort of thing.

Every metal band is charting higher than ever ... and selling fewer units.

Because metalheads are more dedicated and actually buy more product than pop fans.

This album is getting some killer reviews. Everyone says it's awesome! Can't wait to hear it.

Just ordered from Metal Season, too. $9.99 with a bonus track. Snagged the new Soilwork and a cheapo Sick of it All disc as well.
